Find parking near Fannie Mae Dees Park

Fannie Mae Dees Park, often called “Dragon Park,” is a small neighborhood green space known for its colorful mosaic dragon sculpture, playgrounds, walking paths, and tennis courts, making it a popular stop for families and visitors exploring the Vanderbilt and Hillsboro Village area. The park sits in a busy, central part of Nashville where local schools, medical facilities, and residential streets all add to regular traffic, especially on weekdays and pleasant-weather weekends. Because the surrounding streets can fill quickly and some nearby curbside spaces are reserved or permit-only during daytime hours, it is wise to factor extra time into your trip and consider securing parking in advance so you can enjoy the park without rushing.

Street parking immediately around the park is limited, with certain blocks on 24th Avenue South and adjacent streets signed for specific permit use or restricted hours, so drivers may need to look a bit farther out or use designated off-street options in the wider neighborhood. Planning your visit and arranging parking near Fannie Mae Dees Park ahead of time helps you avoid circling for a spot, reduces stress in this walkable but often crowded area, and gives you more time to relax on the lawns and playgrounds. Always review posted signs and any local regulations when you arrive and check the latest official city and park resources before your visit, as rules and availability can change.
