The second Green Hills Park Festival is taking place from 4-9pm on September 16!  Admission is free and we will have food trucks, wine and beer, and fun booths including:
  • Parnassus Bookmobile
  • Green Hills Library
  • Ex Voto Vintage
  • Ten Thousand Villages
  • Lularoe Clothing
  • Fleet Feet (they will be selling t-shirts that benefit Green Hills Park)
  • Freebirds World Burrito
  • Little Gourmand, and
  • Music City Brisket.  
We expect to show a movie again, which will start once it gets dark.  New this year will be a family obstacle course and Nashville Soccer mini-arena!  

Please email friendsofghpark@gmail.com you can help by:
  • sponsoring a booth (or if you have ideas for sponsors);
  • matching donations made at the festival;
  • joining a committee to help us gather items for a silent auction; or
  • joining a committee to help with set up, clean up, or help time the obstacle course participants.
In other neighborhood news:
  • Authority to acquire easements for the Lone Oak sidewalk passed third reading of Metro Council on June 14.  This is one of the steps that will have to be taken before they can start on the Belmont Park Terrace sidewalk. 
  • Metro Council passed RS 2017-772, accepting the donation from Green Hills Girls' Softball League for the batting cage and bullpen that will be placed near the entrance to the Park (by the field house).
  • Metro Council passed BL 2016-493, which will require developers of single family homes in the USD (this includes Green Hills) to construct sidewalks or contribute to a fund for building sidewalks.  
  • Metro Council passed BL3017-740, a "3 foot rule" for pedestrians (if no sidewalk is available, cars must leave a distance of at least three feet between them and a pedestrian walking on the street).
  • The Board of Monroe Harding has voted to sell its property on Glendale Lane.  This beautiful green space will be missed. But could development on those 22 acres lead to a sidewalk linking Scenic Drive to the Park?  That would be great news for the park and for the families who want to walk safely to JT Moore Middle School along Glendale.
  • Did you see us in Green Hills Now magazine?  Big thank you to Lipscomb University for the great story and pics:
