Confirmed from Moss-Wright Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Comprising 147 acres & including several ballfields plus a large playground, trails & picnic tables.
What runners say about Moss-Wright Park
“The parking is extensive, there are concessions for food/drinks, as well as public bathrooms which are relatively clean most of the time.”
“One of the most beautiful parks in the Nashville area 🙂 I've been going for walks there since I was a teenager.”
“This playground has a fun tree theme, lots of space to run and play, swings, and a shaded area for smaller children.”
What a great local park! So happy to have it in Goodlettsville. The playground is expansive and kept the kids engaged for hours. I liked that there was an opportunity for nature play in the little creek running alongside it and even in the sand at the volleyball courts.
Beautiful park! It has a wonderful long trail, plenty of picnic spots, a great dog park, and accommodates lots of sports (volleyball, soccer, football, baseball). Oh, and a nice big playground with shelters nearby so perfect for birthday parties.
This playground has a fun tree theme, lots of space to run and play, swings, and a shaded area for smaller children. There is also a large pavilion full of picnic tables, right beside the playground. Moss-Wright Park is enormous and has many other spaces to explore.
The park is amazingly well maintained and beautiful. There are multiple baseball/softball fields that are top quality. There are plenty of paved walking trails with an abundance of trees to provide shade. Multiple parking areas throughout the large park.
