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.

September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
