Charlie Daniels Park

This is a nice little park in MJ. I remember when it was nothing more than some football fields for the kids football league. It has grown a lot since then. There’s a childrens playground, small skate park, tennis courts, basketball courts inside & outside. The community center is a decent size and always has activities scheduled so there is no lack of things to do when visiting. They also have an outdoor stage where they hold concerts every now and then. It’s just a nice little park with something for the whole family. Go check it out if you haven’t. You won’t be disappointed.

My 2.5 year old loves this park. I liked it better before the renovation though. There doesn’t seem to be as much equipment now.

Small local park which offers some create options for families to either spend all day, or just a quick visit. The newly constructed jungle gym is excellent and has brought many more families to the area, plus the new water park has turned out to be a smart addition.
There’s a number of classes offered inside of the park’s main building and I often see family reunions and parties being held on the grounds at one of the several pavilions. Tennis lessons, karate lessons and personal training is all offered there, either by private parties or park sponsored I’m not sure. I often see yoga being taught/​instructed early in the mornings when the weather is good. I often use the track around the park, and the new addition going in front of the police station is welcomed as the loop is now a mile long.
Overall great small town park offering lots of options for individuals and families.

This is one of the reasons we moved to Mount Juliet. We always take our dogs and walk around the park, then stop and let the kids play on the playground for a while. There is something for everyone. Splashpad, Skatepark, Basketball, Volleyball, Playground, Soccer/​Football fields, plenty of benches in the shade to relax. The playground is a little dated, but they are slowly renovating it. Also, another reason for 4 instead of 5 stars, the splashpad hours are a little lacking. They built this awesome splashpad but only open it for a short time during the day.

A great Mt Juliet park… great community center and grounds…

I really enjoyed this park. It has a smaller toddler area where 3 can play while I sit and watch. He really loved the Spider web climbing wall in the Planet Playhouse larger area. & I enjoyed the swinging bars :) fun for 3 & 27, apparently. It was a great alternative to the always busy Lebanon park.

Hailing from Mt. Juliet, I must give Charlie Daniels Park its deserved props. I really love this park for having such a variety of things to do here. There is a community center with an indoor basketball court and some other things, but I always used their two sand valleyball courts to play badminton. The playground is also nice in size (I’ll play there at night when no one’s looking), and there’s plenty of green area for anything else you might like to do. Even though it’s only park in Mt. Juliet, it’s never been extraordinarily crowded.

I’ve been to parks all over Nashville, and it’s possible that none of them are individually as good Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet. Sure, if taken together, the Nashville Parks offer a whole lot more, but they’re spread across a county. Charlie Daniels has all the neat features of Centennial Park without the problems.
It feels like a community feature rather than a destination point for tourists, it has a football field for the high school. It has an indoor community center with an indoor basketball arena. But those are there for organized activity.
For the family, there’s an excellent «Planet Playground» for both under three and larger children. They have several tennis courts, and wisely turned a couple of them into a small skate park. They have an outdoor basketball court, a sand volleyball court, several covered pavilions with picnic tables and grills, and an outdoor stage «amphitheater.» Every now and then, you find something new, like the pirate ship or the jogging track.
There’s a lot to like about the park, and if your family is there and you need to kill an hour, it’s a nice place to go.
