Cumberland Park in Nashville, Tennessee, was selected as one of five finalists for the Urban Land Institute’s 2013 Open Space Award. Competing with four other waterfront redevelopment projects throughout North America, Cumberland Park represents the first phase in Nashville’s ongoing efforts to revitalize its riverfront and support healthy, active lifestyles by offering a family-oriented space for adventure play, ecological learning, and performances by local and international entertainers.
