Riverfront Park in NashvilleFort Nashborough, LP Field, and more! Riverfront Park borders the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. When you visit Nashville, be sure to just to take a stroll through the park. It is a small park but Fort Nashborough is there and it is free to the public.
Fort Nashborough is an early American Historic Site where the first families in Nashborough took refuge from frequent Indian attacks. You can also see LP field from the park and you may very well see some riverboats in the river. Sometimes there are events held at the park, such as the annual 4th of July celebration.
The Park is just a block away from the Nashville entertainment district. I recommend that you head in that direction because there are numerous shops, restaurants, and bars with live entertainment for you to see. If you are in Nashville on a weekday, you may want to go a little further up to 4th avenue to see the have lunch or shop in the Nashville Arcade. Donna’s Corner Danny and I visited the park on a Sunday afternoon because it was a nice day and I wanted to get pictures for the website. We took our four year old nephew. He enjoyed seeing the cabins. We left there and went to Broadway Street where we went to Mikes Ice Cream Shop. 
He enjoyed that and he wanted to take a
carriage tour
He enjoyed that and he wanted to take a that was just outside the shop. We decided against that because it was getting late in the afternoon. We were downtown at night not too long ago when our niece, her husband and two year old daughter were in town visiting. Of course the park was closed but we were in the downtown district only a block away. We had to go on a Wednesday evening and the district was very crowded. She was the only child that we saw there. Everyone wanted to see and touch her because she is just so cute. None of us were comfortable with that. I guess what I really want to tell you is that Riverfront Park and the downtown district is not for kids. There are a few things that they can do but not many. I don’t recommend taking children after dark at all. It is a great place for adults to visit though. Return from Riverfront Park to Visit Nashville

You probably won’t be in the park long unless there is an event.
