Parkwood-Haynes-Trinity Community Collaboration

As part of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville’s mission to build communities, Habitat, in partnership with leaders of the Parkwood-Haynes-Trinity community, Metro Council District 2 Councilwoman Kyonzté Toombs, Metro government, private sector, and other nonprofits are coming together for a purpose and vision. The goal is threefold: to re-imagine the historic Parkwood Community Club ballfields, help create a 59-acre Metro Park, with walking trails and recreational areas, and to provide the opportunity for 26 families and individuals to experience homeownership. We invite you to be a major benefactor transforming lives and preserving Nashville’s history by supporting this collaboration.

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville is leading a fundraising campaign for the renovation of the historic Parkwood Community Club ballfields, located off Aldrich Lane in Nashville, and to establish a 6-acre public park adjacent to the ballfields. Spurred by this campaign, Metro Parks had already allocated $1.75M to develop the adjacent 53-acre parcel which, together with Habitat’s six acres, will result in a new, 59-acre public park.

Habitat is seeking the support for this collaboration from local businesses and individuals to re-envision the future of this underserved area of Nashville. Our mission is to ensure the historic ballfields remain a cornerstone of the community and amenities such as green space are available to everyone who calls Nashville home.

Habitat of Greater Nashville is pleased to announce a partnership with the Nashville Sounds Minor League baseball team, who has committed to a $50,000 investment in the renovation capital campaign and to also provide guidance in the restoration of the fields, along with operational support.

In 2022, the Sounds organization started a steering committee, The Nine, of prominent Nashville African American leaders to recognize the contributions of African-American baseball players to the sport. Its first community project is the partnership with Habitat of Greater Nashville and Parkwood Community Club for the restoration of the Parkwood ballfields.
