Fort Negley Park is finally a construction zone.
Hard hats and safety vests crowd the baseball diamond at the old Greer Stadium. A few blocks down Chestnut Street, the Nashville Sounds’ once-iconic guitar-shaped scoreboard is repurposed outdoor art at Live Nation’s corporate office. Real estate development has transformed the entire neighborhood — now a hub of luxury shopping and dining studded with a Michelin star — after failing to capture Fort Negley in a saga that sparked city conversations about race, history and the rapid physical changes replacing old land with new construction.
