The Parthenon building, created to the scale of Athen's fabled temple to Athena, is the most famous building in Nashville, and a source of great pride to its citizens. It also boasts a role in important civic events and will figure prominently in the revived Centennial Park.

Pallas Athena's wooden replica is the largest statue in America. She presides over the Parthenon building's main hall, which is a popular venue for public and private events.

The Park offers a variety of views and landscapes, now undergoing both restoration and modernization.

Centennial Park has multiple areas that allow for programs and activities, such as this modernist bandshell.
