An Urban Greenway

Shelby Bottoms Greenway, Nashville, TN One of the true jewels of Metro Nashville's Park and Greenway system, this 810 acre park offers 5 miles of paved multi-use trails and another 5 miles of primitive hiking trails. Along the trails, visitors can enjoy boardwalks, scenic overlooks, interpretive stations and seven rustic bridges.

The site’s Native American heritage was interpreted with symbols and signage. Design elements include site sensitive parking lot configuration, walkway/ bikeway systems, riparian and upland native habitat plantings, way-finding signage, and site furnishings.

Responsibilities involved the layout, grading and detailing of seating plazas, overlooks, and pedestrian/ bikeway amenities. (under employment of Hawkins Partners, Inc.)
