When it comes to pet friendly outing options, Nashville has more dog friendly restaurants, bars, parks, events, and hotels than you can shake a stick at. Every park in the Nashville metro area welcomes leashed pets and there are also many off-leash parks to choose from, including Centennial Park in downtown Nashville which features a spacious, enclosed dog park with a separate areas for smaller and larger dogs. Nashville also hosts festivals and events to celebrate our four-legged friends, two in the fall with Barktoberfest and the Halloween Pooch Parade and one in the spring with DogFest Nashville. Most dog friendly patios in Nashville require that your pet be on a 6-foot (or less), non-retractable leash, they stay in the outdoor dining areas of restaurants, and they remain under the control and supervision of their owner at all times.
