Sweet Nature Center in East Nashville
Located on 950 acres of greenway and 336 acres of park, Shelby Bottoms Nature Center is a beautiful place for a nature lover's retreat that's close by the hustle and bustle of city life. Complete with awe-inspiring views and an outdoor play area, the park also boasts numerous trails perfect for walking, running, and biking – many are even stroller-friendly! Don’t own a bike? A Nashville B-Cycle station is located nearby where you can rent one.
The Center also provides tons of free public environmental education programs, including hands-on activities centered on nature education. It’s best to register for these events in advance to ensure a spot. The staff is friendly and helpful. Restrooms and a drinking fountain are available onsite. However, we recommend packing snacks or lunch as there’s no stores nearby.
