About Brentwood Parks and Recreation

Brentwood is a beautiful place to live, work and play.

Best of all, Brentwood is a community; it’s a place where neighbors know each other and people haven’t forgotten what “Southern hospitality” really is.

Part of that community includes Brentwood’s Parks and Recreation Department, which maintains more than 860 acres of beautiful parks and rolling greenways. The Department also collaborates with community groups to provide activities that are open to all Brentwood residents, and as a result, they offer something for everyone.

All About Brentwood Parks and Recreation

Brentwood’s Parks and Recreation Department is incredibly active in the community, managing 13 parks with playgrounds, hiking trails and horse trails, and so much more. The parks, trails and greenways are:

Concord Park
Cool Springs House
Crockett Park
Deerwood Arboretum and Nature Center
Granny White Park
Margaret Hayes Powell Park
Marcella Vivette Smith Park
Maryland Way Park
Nutro Dog Park
Owl Creek Park
Primm Park
River Park
Tower Park

There’s much more to the Parks and Recreation Department than these spectacular parks, though. They offer a wide variety of sports programs, including baseball and softball, football and cheerleading, and basketball programs for area youth. They also offer swimming, tennis, soccer and Frisbee golf.

The Parks and Recreation Department also sponsors an annual summer concert series. Live bands play in Crockett Park at 7 p.m. every Sunday throughout the season.

Other Parks and Recreation Sites

Historically preserved and ideal for meetings, weddings and more, the Cool Springs House in Crockett Park is managed and maintained by the City of Brentwood. It’s one of the oldest standing structures in the area – it was built in the 1830s – and it’s nothing short of spectacular.

The Ravenswood Mansion, also called Antebellum Mansion, is another spectacular historic site within Brentwood. The breathtakingly beautiful mansion, built in 1825, is an extremely popular wedding venue. It has some amazing history attached, too, such as tales of the original owners hiding their thoroughbred horses from foraging army regiments in an upstairs ballroom (you can actually see hoof prints on the stairs inside the home).

Franklin’s High-Tech Medical Landscape

Franklin, Tennessee is a great place to live – there’s always something to do or see. It’s good to know that in addition to being a friendly, charming Southern town, it’s also leading the way in medical technology with the award-winning Williamson Medical Center.

Williamson County is the “#1 Healthiest County in Tennessee,” and some of that has to do with all of the cutting-edge medical care our little niche of the state has to offer.

About the Williamson Medical Center

The Williamson Medical Center is the largest hospital complex in the county. The hospital provides a huge range of services for residents of Williamson County and neighboring counties. In addition to a fast-paced emergency department, the WMC offers everything from cancer care and cardiac services to obstetrics and a neonatal intensive care unit.

The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital Vanderbilt is opening July 1, which will contain 12 inpatient beds and four observation beds – and it will prevent parents from having to make the 20-mile trek to Nashville for inpatient children’s treatments.

The Williamson Medical Center has a partnership with Vanderbilt Health; together, they manage several walk-in clinics throughout the county:

The Cool Springs Walk-In Clinic (Franklin)
Highway 96 Walk-In Clinic (Franklin)
Brentwood Walk-In Clinic (Brentwood)
Campbell Station Walk-In Clinic (Spring Hill)

The school districts are divided diagonally just north of downtown Spring Hill. Most of the north and east sides are in Williamson County, while the west and southern sides of Spring Hill are in Maury County.

The Tennessee Department of Education assigns letter grades to each district; they even break it down by school. You can explore the Tennessee school report cards on the DOE’s website.

Franklin TN New Construction Projects Spring 2014

Unless you have been living under a rock in Franklin, you can’t help but notice all the construction projects going on around the city. There are a few upcoming projects worth mentioning.

Major Thoroughfare Plan – Columbia Avenue from Downs Blvd to MacHatcher Pkwy. The project includes widening to four lanes, adding a median, bicycle lanes and a sidewalk. The estimated cost of this project is $21m.

Future Home of Fire Station 8 – I’m not looking forward to the sirens in my neighborhood, but knowing more lives will be saved by increasing emergency services is definitely positive growth for Franklin. Located on Hwy 96 in the West Haven Subdivision, this will set the tax payers back close to $3m.
