Our Experience
We didn't have a lot of time, Sunday afternoon, so we decided to walk down to the Ellington Agricultural Center, a short mile and quarter down Edmondson Pike from our apartment. We also wanted to bring May along, as we hadn't had a chance to do that on our biking trip the previous day. Overall, this was a pleasant walk, at least in the park, while Edmonson Pike proved again that Nashville isn't designed for pedestrians.
The walk is a pleasant 1.7 mile loop around the edge of the agricultural center, taking us along a creek and then through some of the gardens and buildings before plunging us into a small woodlet. There was no major change in elevation, and it was clear the trail was more for walking than hiking. There were a few people out, including one runner and a couple people walking dogs. Some of the trees were in bloom, which is a sight this northerner is not used to, and found to be very striking.
We might do this again, but only because it's so close, and when we want to get out into nature but don't have a lot of time, this can substitute for some of the better parks in the city.

One of those hidden picture puzzle. Can you find the bike route in this picture?
