NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Centennial Park is getting its first permanent on-site full-service cafe this weekend.
The Croquet Cafe opens Saturday, Aug. 29, as part of a grand opening celebration for the park's northside revitalization. Metro Parks Nashville and Centennial Park Conservancy will also hold ribbon-cutting ceremonies for a new Event Pavilion.
The cafe transforms the park's historic 1963 Croquet Clubhouse into a place where visitors can enjoy fresh, locally inspired Southern food.
The menu includes salads, paninis, wraps, picnic boxes, locally roasted coffee, baked goods, smoothies, soft-serve treats, and grab-and-go options.
Created and funded by Centennial Park Conservancy in partnership with Metro Parks, every purchase at the cafe directly benefits Centennial Park.
