The Cumberland River gives Nashville's Riverfront Park its setting, with places to walk, sit and watch a side of downtown unfold. North and south sections offer gathering spaces, and public programming sometimes adds fitness sessions, movies or other community activities. Enjoy the landscape on an day or plan around an announced event when you want more structure. Concert admission at nearby Ascend Amphitheater is separate, so the public park should not be confused with a ticket to the stage.
