Edwin Warner Park

Edwin Warner Park in Nashville is a 652 acre park criss-crossed with hiking and nature trails.  It is one of two major parks, the other being the 2058 acre Percy Warner Park, separated by Old Hickory Blvd.

Unlike the highly-restrictive Radnor Lake area these two parks do not prohibit people from doing most of the things that make a park enjoyable.  It is a little farther for me to drive but in many ways it is worth the trip.

Edwin Warner Park - February 21, 2010

A beautiful weekend for a change so I spent part of it on my motorcycles.  I did go for a long walk around Edwin Warner Park and took a few photos though.  The birds and squirrels are getting more active now, the insects are starting to show up again, and it won't be too long until spring.
 

Edwin Warner Park - February 13, 2010

It was cold and cloudy today with snow forecast for tonight (and tomorrow and tomorrow night and again on Monday!) so rather than ride my motorcycle I drove to Edwin Warner Park to walk around.  These are my first photographs there but I'll be back for more.
 

The stone walls shown in some of the photographs above are referred to in this area as "Slave Walls", presumably because the thinking is that they were built using slave labor.  The technical name for them is "Dry Stack Stone Walls" because that's what they are.  There is no mortar or grout holding the stones in place, they were simply stacked in place and have stayed there for many, many years.
