Confirmed from River 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.
Popular park along the Little Harpeth River featuring basketball courts, a playground and paved trails.
What runners say about River Park
“Very pretty and clean with lots of walking trails too”
“Beautiful park for walking, running, biking.”
“This is a great place to run, walk, or bike.”
“Miles of walking/biking trails that are tree lined so plenty of shade during the summer.”
A great area to access the greenway. Lots of parking, heated bathrooms NOTE: the water fountain has been removed for winter, BRING YOUR OWN WATER.
Great park to bring your dogs to play in the creek. Not usually busy. Very pretty and clean with lots of walking trails too
A hidden gem in Brentwood! This is a very nice park with a pavilion, basketball courts, and lots of views of the river. I was also shocked at how far the walking path goes out- it connects to Crockett Park so you can literally go for miles on it! Great place to enjoy the outdoors!
Nice place for long runs. Can get to Vivrette Smith and do a loop around Crockett for 12 miles. More can be added on by going out and back on Split Log/Ragsdale or Knox Valley.
