Kids love going to new parks. Whether it be the kind with swing sets or duck ponds, it doesn't in effect matter. Kids will find a way to have lots of fun. Very close to the uptown and right next to Vanderbilt's campus is a park called Fannie Mae Dees park. If you're a local, you'd call it the dragon park. Some years ago a dragon was fashioned out of rock and tile and is the centerpiece of the park. The dragon is likely 12 feet tall and 50 feet long and is able to be climbed, jumped off of, ran nearby and under. Kids love it. The playground also has a quarterly swing set, slides, poles, and climbing stuff as well. There's even an old fort relic that kids climb all over.

The Nashville Zoo has one of the biggest playgrounds around. It's an ample wooden buildings unblemished with climbing nets, fountains, animals to climb over, a giant rubber trampoline for toddlers and infants, and a castle tower. Think of your popular wooden buildings park and triple the size of it, that's like the size of the Nashville Zoo's playground.

Centennial Park near uptown Nashville has a great big duck pond - so bring some bread to feed the ducks. It also has a pretty fun playground, but on a scale of 1 to 10 - I'd say the place is an 8 for adults and a 4 for kids. The Bicenntennial mall, uptown Nashville, has a fountain park. The fountains shoot out of the ground and kids can step on them run nearby them, run over them. It's a lot more fun, but there's no playground - just the fountains. However, next to the fountain park is the Nashville Farmer's shop which kids love to walk nearby and help pick out fresh food. Take them there to get fresh berries for a great afternoon snack.
