Park Improvements

Improvements since Friends of Green Hills Park was established in 2015

  • Green Hills Park Festival, established in 2016, is a free community event that raises thousands of dollars for park improvements every year in September.

  • Parnassus donated a Little Library that has been installed at the Park and regularly supplies books.

  • Grassy berms, a natural obstacle course with stumps and beams, portable benches, a bike rack, pink crape myrtles, and new trees have been added.

  • A $500,00 sidewalk was built in and alongside the park along Belmont Park Terrace.  In the southwest corner, a new entrance and path were created. In the northwest corner, a sidewalk now connects the park to Arden Place. 

  • A standard crosswalk now allows safer travel across Belmont Park Terrace to Castleman Drive and a specially designed tri-color crosswalk creates a colorful connection from the park to J.T. Moore Middle School.

  • The entrance has been improved by removing the chain link fence and replacing it with a new park sign and wooden knee-rail fence. The porta-potty has been hidden in a wood structure.

  • Improvements are being made to the woodland areas, where water feeds into Browns Creek (and then flows to the Cumberland River).  The improvements include the installation of dog waste stations and the removal of invasive plants and replacement with native plants and landscape stones.

  • Six disc golf baskets were placed on the western end of the park.

  • A new shade pavilion, with picnic tables, was added near the park entrance.

  • A new water fountain with a dog bowl has replaced the old standard fountain and a tall misting water fountain provides water for drinking and fun by the playground.

  • A new exercise station provides strength activities for kids and adults.
