The Park at Harlinsdale Farm

Location: Historic Downtown Franklin

The Park at Harlinsdale is a 200-acre park that has been called the most significant historic farm associated with the modern Tennessee Walking Horse industry. The park is still under development, but activities include walking and hiking trails and a dog park. The Park at Harlinsdale Farm is also home to The Tractor Supply Arena where Franklin Polo Academy regularly holds matches.

The new Tractor Supply Co. Arena at Harlinsdale now hosts professional arena polo matches and instruction, horse shows of all kinds, and other public events.

Harlinsdale Farm was founded in 1933 by W. W. Harlin. In the mid-1940s, the farm gained notability for being the home of Midnight Sun, a Tennessee Walking Horse stallion who won two World Grand Championships in 1945 and 1946 according to Wikipedia.
