Downtown Nashville has a great play area for kids and families on its scenic riverfront. Located right on the Cumberland River by the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge, Cumberland Park is the perfect place to spend a pretty day in Middle Tennessee.

Climb, splash, dig, and run around in this greenspace, which is one of the newest attractions in Nashville. It’s free to visit and is part of a great downtown getaway for locals and visitors alike.

We think a visit here is one of the best things to do in Tennessee with kids!

An excellent way to burn off some kid energy without spending a dime! Make sure and bring a bathing suit as there's a great splash area. We broke up a long drive by having a picnic in the park. :)

A beautiful example of urban planning done right. Gorgeous setting, the bridge gets you excellent views and photo ops, the kids LOVED the hilly playground, sand pit, splash pad and climbing wall. Nice job, Nashville!

This is a great park, right next to Nissan Stadium (home of the Tennessee Titans).

They have:
an awesome splash pad
waterfall
sand pits
kids play ground equipment
shady spots underneath the walk ways

The grass in the play area shown above is artificial turf, nothing wrong with that, just stood out to me. I wish my home city of Houston had something like this.
