The basics

Whether you choose to walk, cycle, or ride a Segway, there’s plenty to see at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. Start at the central plaza, where the 95-bell carillon (representing the Volunteer State’s 95 counties) plays part of the Tennessee Waltz each quarter hour, and the views extend all the way to the State Capitol Building.

From there, stroll the tree-lined walkways past the World War II Memorial; follow the Pathway of History, where towering pillars mark key events in Tennessee history; and explore the Walkway of Counties, showcasing native plants and flowers from around the state. At the south end of the park, a 2,000-seat amphitheater hosts open-air concerts during the summer months, next to the Rivers of Tennessee Fountains and a gigantic granite map of the state.
