Fort Negley Park Phase One Under Construction in Nashville
Metro Parks is building $11 million in Phase One improvements at Fort Negley Park, with completion expected in early 2027.
Phase One improvements at Fort Negley Park, 1100 Fort Negley Blvd, are under construction with completion expected in early 2027. Metro Nashville Parks and Recreation is developing the project, designed by Hodgson Douglas Landscape Architects. Construction began February 19, 2026.
Phase One carries an $11 million construction cost within a $50 million Master Plan approved in 2022. Metro allocated $17.5 million for the project. Construction is expected to take 12 to 14 months.
The work converts the former Greer Stadium parking lots into approximately 30 acres of new green space. Features include a two-acre Memorial Lawn, a contemplative plaza, accessible walking paths, a new overlook, native meadow, restored 1930s driveways, and interpretive installations. The park will open on 66 acres.
Fort Negley was built by free and enslaved African American laborers and is a UNESCO Site of Memory. The project comes a decade after preservationists derailed redevelopment plans proposed for the site in 2017 and 2018.
