CENTENNIAL PARK & THE PARTHENON

2500 West End Avenue ~  Nashville, TN 37203

What’s Going On: Beautiful park space for running, picnic-ing, sightseeing or napping on a blanket after a long day of sightseeing.  The park is most famous for boasting the world's only full-scale replica of the Greek Parthenon, originally constructed as part of the Tennessee Centennial and Exposition that was held in 1897. For a small ticket fee, you can also tour the inside which houses a museum and a statue of Athena.
