## About

Located in the heart of the Bellevue community along the Harpeth River corridor, Red Caboose Park is a cherished destination for west Nashville families. The centerpiece of the 9-acre park is an authentic, historic bright red train caboose that children can admire up close, sparking endless imaginations of railroad adventures. The park features an expansive, state-of-the-art all-inclusive playground with sensory-rich play elements, accessible swings, climbing towers, and rubberized safety surfacing that allows children of all mobility levels to play together. Surrounding the playground is a paved walking trail that loops past a covered amphitheater, autumn-blooming landscape beds, and shady picnic pavilions. During Thanksgiving week, families gather here for fresh air, playground fun, and peaceful walks before holiday dinners.

Family Experience & Accessibility:
• Stroller Accessibility: Exceptionally accessible with smooth concrete perimeter pathways, wide entry ramps, and level poured-in-place rubber safety turf across the entire playground.
• Nursing & Rest Spots: Modern, clean park restrooms equipped with baby-changing tables and covered picnic pavilions providing comfortable bench seating.
• Age Suitability: Ideal for infants through pre-teens; distinct playground sections cater to toddlers (ages 2-5) and older children (ages 5-12).
• Sensory Tips: The inclusive playground includes musical chime panels, quiet sensory alcoves, and tactile play structures designed specifically for children with sensory sensitivities.
