Get ready to hit the pavement grass — downtown Nashville’s green space is getting a fresh look. In April, Bluff Landing will open to the public at Peabody Union and connect to the Cumberland River Greenway and Olive, the 27-story residential tower anchoring the area.
By the numbers, the $3 million, 1-acre project will front 400 ft of the Cumberland River bluff and include a 2,600-sqft observation deck with stadium-style steps situated on the lawns. Live music, pop-ups, and market events are also in the works.
A portion of the investment goes beyond the greenway. Plans outline pedestrian improvements, such as widened sidewalks along Peabody Street + a new traffic and pedestrian crosswalk on Korean Veterans Boulevard.
“We took inspiration from some of the great greenway destinations in the US, such as the High Line in New York City, the Navy Yards in D.C., and the Atlanta Beltline,” Ray Hensler of Hensler Development Group said.
The South Bank addition comes as outdoor recreation in the urban core is on the rise. Church Street Park continues to expand its free programming, and a 1.3-acre pedestrian park will make up a portion of the Nashville Yards development in the coming months.

We’re traveling to two more of NASHtoday’s sister cities with the help of expert recommendations from our fellow editors. Pack your bags and hit the road, we’re stopping in Louisville, KY, first.
Just a couple hours north of Nashville, you’ll find yourself in a city home to a vibrant culinary scene, two professional soccer teams, and more bourbon than you can shake a whiskey thief at.
If you’re looking to spend some time in the great outdoors, Louisville has one of the only completed Olmsted Parks systems in the country — he’s the one who designed Central Park in NYC. If you’re more interested in the tastes of LOU, take a distillery tour on Whiskey Row, eat a meal at an award-winning restaurant, or stay at the home of the Hot Brown.
For something a little off the beaten path, City Editor Declan recommends a tour of a historic church and a sandwich at Shiraz.
A set of really good kitchen shears. Cut meat, fish, vegetables, and more with these scissors designed with a heavy-duty blade, built-in fish scraper, steel compression spring, and non-slip handle.
Have you heard of a color walk? Just like it sounds, pick a color and identify where you come across it along your route. It made hitting my steps last week a little easier — and a lot more fun.
