"Situated in Nashville’s West End Neighborhood, Centennial Park is a lush oasis that offers a tranquil respite from the glittering lights of Lower Broadway, Music City’s Honk Tonk Highway. One of the most beloved parks in town, this gorgeous natural setting occupies 132 acres. The site has served as a fairground, a racetrack and the location for the 1897 Tennessee Centennial and International Exposition. The recreation area welcomes visitors of all ages with a variety of attractions and activities. History of Centennial Park The park was originally farmland owned by Anne Robertson Cockrill, the sister of James Robertson, one of the Fathers of Middle Tennessee. She acquired the property through a land grant for her heroic efforts to defend Fort Nashborough during an attack by Native American warriors. While wounded, she led a “bucket brigade” of women who threw pots of boiling water on the men who were trying to set the fort on fire. Her actions helped to save the settlement and several families who had recently moved to the area. Cockrill was also the first schoolteacher in Tennessee. The land became the state fairgrounds after the Civil War. The site served as a racetrack known as West Side Park from 1884 until 1895. Two years later, the land was renamed Centennial Park in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Volunteer State’s admittance into the Union. The location was selected as a host site for the World’s Fair. When the exposition ended, many of the buildings and exhibits were dismantled. What remained was the Parthenon, the man-made lake, a band shell and a landscaped open area. Protests over the park’s segregated swimming pool led to its closure in the 1960s. The buildings have been converted into an arts center. Centennial Park served as the backdrop for the final scene in Robert Altman’s critically acclaimed film “Nashville.” Things to See THE PARTHENON A full-scale replica of the ancient Greek temple, the Parthenon was built for the centennial exposition. Once threatened with demolition, the building was restored in 1931 and remains the centerpiece of the park. It was constructed to celebrate Nashville as the “Athens of the South.” The edifice serves as a testament for what has been called the height of classical architecture. The building’s pediments are cast models of relics dating from 438 B.C.E. that are currently located in the British Museum. The historic structure houses a museum where visitors can view permanent and traveling works of art. The focus of the collection is a group of 63 paintings by 19th- and 20th-century artists. nashville the parthenonThe Parthenon is also the location for a massive statue of the Greek goddess Athena. The work of Nashville-native Alan LeQuire, the 42-foot-tall ornate statue is the tallest indoor sculpture in the Western Hemisphere. The original plain white statue was unveiled after eight years of work in 1990. The gold leaf and other ornamentation that make the sculpture appear more like the ancient original was added 12 years later. The female figure holds a life-size statue of Nike in her upturned right palm to give visitors a sense of scale. The sculpture also features other subjects from Greek mythology, such as Zeus, Apollo and Poseidon along with the serpent-haired Medusa. OUTDOOR SPACE The park includes a sunken garden for quiet meditation as well as a one-mile-long multipurpose trail around Lake Watauga, a man-made pond featuring water fountains, ducks and other aquatic creatures. The Centennial Dog Park is divided into areas for large and small breeds. Visitors can also enjoy the volleyball courts and children’s playground equipment. The park band shell is the setting for children’s theater performances, summer concerts and outdoor movies along with Nashville’s Shakespeare in the Park program. Spread a blanket on the lawn, and enjoy a picnic meal while listening to music or watching a theatrical production. WARTIME MEMORABILIA A portion of the prow from the USS Tennessee, which fought in the Spanish-American War, adorns the park’s original entrance on 25th Avenue North. There are also displays of a historic steam locomotive, Civil War-era cannons and an F-86 Sabre, a Korean War Air Force fighter jet. In addition to signs explaining the history and significance of the park, various trees feature plaques with QR codes that enable smartphones to play stories and songs by Nashville artists about the plants and foliage. ANNUAL EVENTS Centennial Park hosts a variety of cultural festivals throughout the year, including the annual Earth Day Celebration and the Tennessee Craft Fair, which feature food and music as well as family friendly games, activities and hands-on demonstrations. Music Corner is a series of free outdoor concerts held on Saturdays in the spring and fall on the lawn in Centennial Park."

"Greek Parthenon. From WSJ article 'Road Trip Through the Deep South'. Just go to article in Dropbox for all details of trip. Excellent and too much to copy here. Stashed inside the temple: a 42-foot-tall gilded statue of the deity Athena whose lips are allegedly modeled after Elvis Presley’s kisser. Music City’s other current goddess is Dolly Parton. Her image is sprinkled throughout the candy-colored country-music themed Graduate Hotel. Think this was closed when we were there."
