Centennial Park
Centennial Park is a West End green space anchored by Nashville’s full-scale Parthenon replica. It suits a walk that pairs a striking landmark with a lake, gardens and open parkland.

The Parthenon makes this much more than a routine city park: its classical form is a visible reminder of Nashville’s “Athens of the South” identity. Walk beyond the replica to Lake Watauga and the sunken garden for a quieter view of the grounds and the contrast between monument and landscape.
What to look for
The full-scale Parthenon replica dominates the park.
Lake Watauga and the sunken garden offer a different, landscaped setting.
A one-mile walking trail links a longer park visit.
Useful to know
Start with the Parthenon exterior, then use the walking trail to reach the lake and garden.
Check the city’s park access notice before choosing a route through the grounds.
