Disc Golf Course

Goodlettsville Parks and Recreation is in the planning stages of a Disc Golf Course, which is set to be built connecting both North Creek and Brooks Parks. 

Sidewalk Updates at Peay Park

Update: The sidewalk and drinking fountain portions of the project are complete. Benches and hand rails will be added in Fall of 2023 to complete the project. 

Goodlettsville Parks and Recreation will complete a renovation of the current sidewalks that lead to the Peay Park Courts in order to make them ADA compliant. This project will include the addition of a water fountain and benches for the facility as well. 

Peay Park Shelter

Update: Sitework to correct drainage needs will be complete in late August-early September. Picnic tables are set to be delivered in late September to complete the project. 

Goodlettsville Parks and Recreation will install a 60x60 picnic shelter at Peay Park adjacent to the splash pad. This shelter, soon to be known as Shelter 8, will be available for rent later in the year. The projected completion date of the project is Fall 2023. 

Rachel's Garden Playground

The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) announced a $350,000 parks and recreation grant for the City of Goodlettsville for a playground at Peay Park in June of 2021. The City of Goodlettsville will provide a $350,000 match. Read the full announcement article here. State contracts were finalized on August 15, 2022 allowing work to begin. On Thursday, March 9, the Goodlettsville Fire Department’s non-profit group presented to the City of Goodlettsville a check in the amount of $650,000 as its generous contribution to the Rachel’s Garden inclusive playground, a $1.43 million project in total. The remaining balance will be funded by the City of Goodlettsville, as well as, a Local Parks and Recreation grant from the State of Tennessee. 

Rachel's Garden is a project of the Goodlettsville Fire Department's Kid's Christmas Charity that will install an inclusive playground at Peay Park.

Peay Park Court Renovation

The Peay Park Courts were renovated during the 2022-2023 budget year and officially opened in June of 2023. A combination funding sources provided the opportunity to renovate this once aging facility; a facility that was transformed into multi-use courts providing a variety of use to the Goodlettsville community. 

The facility features three dedicated pickleball courts and two multi-purpose courts that will accommodate two games of tennis or four games of pickleball at one time. Click here to learn more about the facility
