Cumberland Park is East Nashville's newest park. It took shape along the east bank of the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. The park sits just south of Nissan Stadium, between the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge and the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge Bridge. It also includes the former Nashville Bridge Co. building now the Nashville River Front Bridge Building Event Spaces immediately adjacent to the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge. Originally built in 1908, the modernized building is now a premier events space with many customizable areas, including a rooftop patio with a one-of-a-kind view of Nashville, perfect for weddings, private dinners, corporate events, concerts, and holiday parties. The area was once a high industrial and factory based river bank that was easily accessible to ships.—Wikipedia

Nashville is the capital and most populous city of the state of Tennessee. The city is located on the Cumberland River and is the 23rd most-populous city in the United States. Named for Francis Nash, a general of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, the city was founded in 1779. The city grew quickly due to its strategic location as a port on the Cumberland River and, in the 19th century, a railroad center. A major center for the music industry, especially country music, Nashville is commonly known as "Music City". It is also home to numerous colleges and universities, including Tennessee State University, Vanderbilt University, Belmont University, Fisk University, Trevecca Nazarene University, and Lipscomb University, and is sometimes referred to as "Athens of the South" due to the large number of educational institutions.
