Support the
Lockeland Springs Park Expansion.

Join the Nashville community, Trust for Public Land, TennGreen Land Conservancy, and our local partners to protect the forested oasis next to Lockeland Springs Park. In the past eight months, we have raised $1.6 million to protect the land, but Lockeland Springs Park still needs your help to:

• Repair the damage from the 2020 tornado
• Clean up trash and debris on the new park property
• Establish a Friends of Lockeland Springs Park group
• Create a vision for the newly expanded park

Donate today to help transform this unique natural area in the heart of East Nashville.

Thanks to willing landowners, The Trust for Public Land has four acres currently under option for purchase. We have raised $1.6 million to acquire the property and a conservation easement to ensure perpetual conservation and community ownership in partnership with the Metro Nashville Parks & Recreation Department. TennGreen Land Conservancy will hold the conservation easement, protecting the streams and forests here forever.

The Trust for Public Land has a successful record of leveraging public and private funds to support our projects; every $1 donated to The Trust for Public Land is leveraged to save $8 worth of land. Your early support will chart the course for the public-private partnership to expand Lockeland Springs Park.

In partnership with neighbors, fellow nonprofits, and philanthropists, you can advance this community-led vision. Together, we can rewrite this neighborhood park’s narrative and spark a new chapter for neighborhood park investment across Nashville.
