Mill Ridge Park will be one of Metro Nashville's newest Regional Park. The 600 acre property in Southeast Davidson County is located near Cane Ridge High School off of Old Hickory Boulevard.
Identified in Nashville Naturally and NashvilleNext as the last quadrant of the county in need of a large acreage anchor park, the property will serve the southeast-Davidson community with trails and park facilities that are greatly needed.
The diverse demographics of the Antioch area both economically and ethnically – this area of Nashville has the largest percentage of “new Americans” in the entire county – creates a distinctive opportunity to provide a park designed specifically as an inclusive space for all Nashvillians.
Phase One Plans
Phase One of the Mill Ridge Park has begun construction as of May 2021. It is expected to be complete in late summer 2022.
The new park will be anchored by Nashville’s largest destination playground and a large event lawn for community performances and festivals. Addition features include a fitness equipment and trail loop, courts, picnic shelters, restrooms, parking, grassland meadows and almost 300 new trees. The Metro Arts Commission is incorporating a permanent, interactive public art installation.
Future phases of Mill Ridge Park Master Plan implementation will occur as funding becomes available.
