2 reviews for Moss Wright Park
Moss Wright is a big, beautiful park with grassy meadows, rolling hills, big ol' trees, a wide, lazy creek, a 2 mile nature trail, picnic tables, shelters, playgrounds, baseball, football, and soccer fields, and a volleyball court. Historic Mansker Station, an 18th century fort and house, which you can take a tour of for $6.
Although Moss Wright is only about a 20 minute drive from downtown Nashville, when I was there I felt like I was very far from the city. It's a really relaxing, peaceful setting that I'd like to go back to with a picnic, a good book, and my sneakers (to walk the trail).
Moss Wright is definitely one of my favorite parks outside of Nashville proper. I spent a good deal of time here as a youngster and again when I worked in Goodlettsville up until just a few weeks ago. It's a pretty sizable park with lots of baseball fields, pavilions, bicycle and walking trails.
Certain areas in the park are heavily wooded and perfect for picnics. There is plenty of parking, and it's one of those parks that's nice to just explore on a listless afternoon when you have no particular plans. Moss Wright is definitely a park where you'll find people having company picnics and flying kites. It's wedged between a golf course and a very nice subdivision, and it's probably the least shady park in Middle Tennessee.
Goodlettsville is a bit of a trek, at least from the West Side, but Moss Wright Park is certainly one of the city's finer features. I wouldn't hesitate to take a date, my niece or the dogs there on a lazy Sunday. Now all I need to do is find a date and some dogs.
