Marcella Vivrette Smith Park

Created from what was once known as Ravenswood Farm, this lovely Brentwood park opened in 2014 and contains more than six miles of trails that wind through forests and fields and pass the historic Ravenswood Mansion, built in 1825. Smith Park is a great pick for anyone looking for a slightly more challenging workout, because there are plenty of hills to climb and get that heart rate going! Wildlife sightings often include deer and wild turkeys and since these trails are never crowded with people, it’s a great place for a little alone time.

Smith Park is also a great place for a bike ride! A multi-use loop road now connects the park to adjoining neighborhoods and Brentwood’s paved trail system, which runs along the Little Harpeth River. Other new additions to the park include two multi-purpose athletic fields, a picnic shelter, and a playground. And just last year, an enchroma viewfinder was installed on the red/blue trail at Smith Park, giving those with color blindness a chance to see the landscape in full color.
