Parks & Trails
Today the small-town charm, high-caliber schools, and proximity to Nashville have been credited to the doubling of the population over the last 10 years. Community amenities include Nolensville Park located along Mill Creek, near the historic downtown. The park has athletic fields, a dog park, a playground, and a walking trail. The paved walking and bike trail runs from the Historic School at town center, through Nolensville Park and ends at York Road, near Millcreek Middle School. A trail spur on Sunset Road allows residents to walk or bike to sports fields, the farmers market, restaurants, and shops on Nolensville Road. A significant part of the Nolensville’s landscape is Mill Creek, a 27.9-mile-long tributary of the Cumberland River that extends through the town into Nashville/Davidson County. Mill Creek is the only known habitat for the endangered Nashville Crayfish.
