How To Build a New Park in Nashville

Mill Ridge Park is more than a massive playground and a giant teal slide. Host Rachel Iacovone talks with Friends of Mill Ridge Park (https://www.friendsofmillridgepark.org/) Executive Director Darrell Hawks, Board Chair Bishoy Makael, and Metro Parks Assistant Director Tim Netsch about how the park was created, the partnerships that made it possible, and what Nashville can learn from the process. Plus, they discuss the park’s new $4 million expansion, The Farm at Mill Ridge Park, and the upcoming Pear Jam (https://www.friendsofmillridgepark.or...) celebration.
