We visited Centennial Park on a beautiful day in October! During our walk around the lake, we stopped at Taylor's Bench 🫶 It was a beautiful and clean park with lots of activities!
I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Centennial Park, particularly at Lake Watauga. Feeding the ducks and geese by the serene waters was an absolute delight. The park's beauty is unparalleled, and the opportunity to connect with nature in the heart of the city is a true gem. The well-maintained paths, vibrant flowers, and the shimmering Lake Watauga all contribute to its charm. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely picnic, a family outing, yoga, or simply a peaceful day of relaxation. I give it five stars without hesitation!
We did not spend a lot of time in the park, maybe one hour total. From what we could see it was clean, well maintained, nice balance between history, art and nature. It was definitely enjoyable.
Large, beautiful park with paved paths for walking/running and open green areas for sports, games, picnics, or just relaxing. Has an impactful monument dedicated to women's suffrage, as well as a full scale reproduction of the Parthenon. Inside, the goddess Athena is heralded. Has an open ampitheator for events like concerts on beautiful nights. Close walking distance to many good dining choices and across the street from the Marriott at Vanderbilt University (their in-hotel restaurant and bar is EXCELLENT, btw). Closes at sunset. Perfect for families and romantic for couples, and most importantly, dog friendly!!! Psst... Excellent photo ops too.
It's okay. Flat, has a lake (looks man made but might not be) and has lots of cement pathways. About the best part of the park are all the statues and history, and of course the Parthenon. It's worth a walk-around if you are waiting on the Parthenon to open, but is otherwise not so interesting. Perfect place to host events due to the wide open flat grass areas.
Beautiful place for a picnic or to relax. Pond with wildlife, beautiful flowers and plenty of shade.
My son and I played some catch and went to the Tailor Swift bench.
Enjoyable time with family

I absolutely loved visiting this beautiful and free park! Even on hot days, there are plenty of shady spots to find respite. The highlight for me was the serene lake, teeming with lively fish and adorable ducks. An enchanting island in the middle of the lake even hosts buzzing bee hives, adding a touch of nature's wonder. It was heartwarming to see families, kids, and people with pets, all enjoying this inclusive outdoor space. With something for everyone, this park truly caters to all ages and interests. Whether you seek tranquility, a fun day out with loved ones, or simply want to commune with nature, this park is an absolute gem. Make sure to visit the flower garden!
