NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — A new downtown dog park is now open in Nashville.
Mars and Nashville Yards cut the ribbon on the IAMS Bark Park on Sunday, April 19. The grand opening included a spring market and adoptable puppies from a local rescue.
The park gives city dogs a dedicated place to play and connect. It is part of a 19-acre development designed with pets in mind. The area features more than seven acres of open space. It also includes dog-friendly hotels and outdoor dining.
New residents will even get pet-focused welcome gifts.
Organizers hope this project will become a blueprint for other cities. Mars plans to help 10 million pets and people worldwide by 2030.

Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital. Austin Pollack shares the story of students in a Nashville family who have helped re-launch the Red Wagon project to collect games for patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
