Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. Situated in downtown Nashville, it offers a sprawling 19-acre space that commemorates the 200th anniversary of Tennessee's statehood. This state park is not only a beautiful place for recreation and relaxation, but it also serves as an educational resource. It features an impressive 200-foot granite map of the state, providing a geographical overview of Tennessee. The park's walkways are lined with marble columns that tell the story of the state's history through inscriptions. The Rivers of Tennessee Fountains representing the major rivers across the state are a favorite with visitors, especially during the warm months. The park is also home to the Court of 3 Stars, an amphitheater with a capacity of 2,000, often used for events and performances. From the park, visitors have a distinctive view of the State Capitol, making it a perfect spot for photography. The combination of well-maintained green spaces, historical elements, and central location contributes to its appeal as a must-visit location in Nashville.
