Sylvan Park

Best For: Neighborhood Walks

Sylvan Park, where the streets have state names, is a lovely neighborhood on Nashville's west side close enough to still be in the city but far enough away to provide some peace and quiet. Largely residential although surrounded on all sides by big commercial streets, Sylvan Park contains mostly older, arts and crafts style homes. Sylvan Park features McCabe Park, the Richland Creek Greenway and McCabe Golf Course where locals can be spotted enjoying a walk or a round outside. Murphy Road which runs directly through the middle of Sylvan Park is the neighborhoods main source of commerce although many places that reside on the neighborhoods borders also serve the community.
