Cumberland Park

Cumberland Park is an exciting new attraction along Nashville’s riverfront! The park is an innovative play space for children and families incorporating unique play structures and water features. The 6.5 acre park includes an outdoor amphitheater, which accommodates approximately 1,200 people for events. Cumberland Park sits between the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge and the Korean War Veterans Memorial Bridge and offers direct access to the Shelby Street Bridge by way of a new elevator and staircase.

Cumberland Park is part of the larger Riverfront Revitalization Plan, which includes the recently completed renovation of the adjacent Bridge Building and development of The Lawn, an open space for recreation and events, and the Bridge Building Landing.
