FORT NEGLEY PARK


LOCATION: Nashville, TN
DATE COMPLETED: Ongoing
CLIENT: Metro Parks and Recreation - Nashville

Fort Negley Park sits at the nexus of Nashville’s collective memory, a living history of the city’s physical, economic, and cultural evolution. Its story is uniquely American and within its landscape lies the narrative of our nation’s turbulent past. Fort Negley’s most recent history remains a microcosm of contemporary forces, the center of a push pull relationship between development, open space, and the telling of accurate and truthful history. Any successful master planning effort for Fort Negley requires the site, as well any proposed improvements, be viewed through this holistic lens. Fort Negley is much more than a Civil War relic. It represents the hope of freedom, the injustice of enslavement, the still felt effects of urban renewal, and a continued struggle for social and environmental equity within a rapidly changing urban environment.

The master plan recognizes the complexity of the site and its historical and cultural importance. At their foundation, the plan’s recommended site improvements, program elements and strategic solutions represent an effort to interpret the site in ways that reflect this importance and illuminate Fort Negley’s story with truth and beauty.

The plan rests on bedrock of three Guiding Principles: preserve and maintain the Fort Negley site, reveal and honor its history, and connect and engage with the public at a local, regional, and national level. In its current state, Fort Negley Park does not meet these principles. The site is under maintained and its historic resources vulnerable to further degradation. The site-wide interpretation of Fort Negley’s history is incomplete, and in some cases in danger of being completely lost to public view, such as the story of the Bass Street Community. Site program elements that more fully engage the community are lacking. Pieces of the site remain disparate and the park remains disconnected from its adjacent communities and city at large.

The plan seeks to address the above issues through an overall strategy of rehabilitation as outlined by the U.S. Department of Interior standards for historic places. Rehabilitation will utilize three main strategic solutions: reinvestment, remembrance, and reconnection. These solutions seek to create a site that meets the goals set forth by the guiding principles.

CLIENT: Metro Parks and Recreation - Nashville

In 2022 HDLA, was commissioned by Nashville Parks and Recreation Department to create a Conceptual Master Plan for the Park at Madison Station. The rapid redevelopment of the Madison area highlighted the need for a reinvestment in the park and the creation of additional greenspace. The Park at Madison Station is the central component to the revitalization of this historic district and will be the hub for the revitalization of the Madison Community as part of the redevelopment of the Madison Station Boulevard. The new park design creates a series of outdoor spaces that activate a prominent corner in Madison bringing life to an underutilized area adjacent to the Nashville Public Library Madison Branch, the Fifty Forward Community Center, and the up-and-coming Roots Barn. The Park at Madison Station will provide a much-needed open space and is centrally located to serve the needs of this diverse community. The park will be inclusive and accessible featuring a new community lawn, adventure playground, large multi-use sports courts and green infrastructure stormwater facilities integrated into the park program with pathways connecting all elements and serving as a community walking track. These park elements radiate from a new, custom community pavilion which will be the centerpiece of the park.

CLIENT: Cheekwood Estate & Gardens - Nashville

HDLA and 3. Fromme Design collaborated with Cheekwood Staff and Donors to create an enchanted space celebrating the Estate’s history, art, horticulture, and the native Tennessee landscape. Goals included achieving ADA access, adding spectacular new horticultural displays, creating venues for rentals and programs, and achieving seamless integration with existing adjacent spaces. 

Water spills down a series of Creek Cascades through the tunnel-like Willow Thicket and into the Turtle Pond, an exhibition of native chelonians. Storm water runoff collects in the Lower Rain Garden where native wildlife make homes. The octagonal Studio Pavilion and Plein Air Plaza overlooks plantings spilling down the Wishing Well Hillside. The Wishing Well itself bubbles, froths, and mists to the delight of youngsters. 

Toddlers find a shaded paradise in Little Woods, an enclosed space dedicated to free play. The Quarry, Little Adventure Path, Duck Puddle, and Tea House provide hands-on and imaginations-on interactive adventures. 

Summer-blossoming shrubs surround the Labyrinth Glade, a sun-dappled space focused on a stone pattern inviting exploration and contemplation. A “secret” side passage leads to the Big Adventure Path, a series of balance beams, elevated stepping stones, and rope bridges crossing beneath existing trees. Visitors encounter a stroll through a gardenesque forest in the Tennessee Woodland Walk, a celebration of showy cultivars of native plants. Nestled like a ruin amongst the vegetation, the Living Library encourages visitors to become a naturalist and explore the wonders of Tennessee’s geology, flora, fauna, and culture.

CLIENT: Shanghai Botanical Garden

Garden leadership sought to create a magical world to engage, delight, and inspire visitors of all ages while establishing an innovative model for China’s public gardens. 3. Fromme Design partnered with HDLA (Nashville, TN) to envision an interactive series of plant and art-based interwoven experiences supporting play, learning, and a sense of connection to the Chenshan region’s heritage. 

 3. Fromme Design and HDLA developed an overall garden framework conceptual design seamlessly integrating visitor experience and amenities; design themes; horticultural directions; architecture; custom art elements; and interpretive opportunities. The plan also resolved circulation and connections with the rest of the Botanical Garden’s destinations. 

Seven interwoven major areas comprise the overall garden. The Gathering Grove welcomes visitors with sculptural fountains interpreting the roles of trees in the water cycle and climate. Flowering meadows contain pavilions focusing on bees and butterflies along the winding Pollinator Path. 

A stone causeway guards the entrance to the River Valley where children manipulate and frolic in various aspects of water. Sculpted friendly guardian monsters form paths, caves, and tunnels along crests of the Dragon Ridges. Stairs descend into the Quarry artfully revealing aspects of local geography. A sloping lawn encourages free play and serves as amphitheater seating for performances on the adjacent stage. 

Boardwalks lead across the pond at the stream’s terminus; while paths meander through an ecologically vibrant wetland. A stone boat in the pond provides shaded seating and an aquatic themed classroom. The Village and Farm celebrate Chenshan’s rural agricultural history while the adjacent Enchanted Gardens play with the scale of miniature and gigantic plants, giving children new perspectives on their place in nature. Children explore the diverse Wondrous Woods ecosystem via rope bridges, logs, and balance beams and construct forts from natural materials.

Fromme partnered with HDLA (Nashville, TN) to collaborate with key City leadership to generate the project’s goals, educational themes, attractions, amenities, and character reflective of Winter Garden’s identity and heritage. 

Four areas comprise the Wellness Park proper: The Farm, The Gardens, the Fitness Park, and Staff and Support. The Farm showcases edible plants – annual, perennial, and woody species -  for Florida landscapes. An open-air demonstration kitchen is the Farm’s social and programmatic hub. Large events find a venue in the adjacent lawn and pavilion. Paths connect the Wellness Park with Tucker Ranch’s other offerings, including the playground, trails, camping, and parking lots.

Thematic planted spaces and landscapes (meditation, labyrinth, fragrance, water wise, et al.) display heirloom and contemporary plants celebrate Floridian year-round ornamental horticulture in the Gardens. Classes, programs, and special functions activate the Pavilion, an enclosed multi-functional building, day and night. Paths wind through the lush plantings, encouraging people to learn new and tried-and-true plants.

Family-oriented beginners exercise equipment and trails ring the pond, wetlands, and native landscapes. A boardwalk crosses the water; a floating roofed pavilion allows people to observe the wildlife calling the water and native vegetation home.

CLIENT: Cheekwood Estate & Gardens - Nashville

Cheekwood leadership desired to explore adding an event space evocative of the original Estate-era parterre garden below the Mansion and core historic landscape. 3. Fromme Design and HDLA (Nashville, TN) collaborated with Senior Staff to identify the critical parameters, ideal visitor experience, horticultural displays, service functionalities, and initial architectural program for a multifunctional open-air event pavilion to replace the courtyard (now the cafés al fresco dining area) previously rented for events.

Replacing temporary tents, the open-air Pavilion accommodates weddings and school group picnic lunches equally well, especially with its adjacency to the Frist Learning Center’s classrooms and Great Hall. Siting and roof height maintain important views from the historic garden to panoramic distant views. Surrounding new paths allow for an ADA and stroller accessible loop.

Fromme and HDLA studied historic photographs and plans of the original space to understand its role in the original gardens, relationships with the Mansion and stables (now the Frist Leaning Center), spatial character, planting, and decorative elements. Renovations reinvigorate the historic rock garden wall along the Parterre Garden’s western perimeter. New gardens find inspiration in the original hedge-bordered beds and add white-blooming fragrant shrubs, perennials, and bulbs to glow in moonlight during evening events. Architectural and landscape details draw inspiration from iconic estate-era ironwork and motifs.

A catering support building and service area hides behind a brick garden wall supporting a vine-covered trellis and seating at the far end of the space. A solid roofed extension of the trellis assures catering access during inclement weather.

CLIENT: Metro Parks & Recreation

In 2018, HDLA was commissioned to design a pocket park on the historic Jefferson Street corridor in Nashville, TN. The program and design philosophy for the park was determined by an intense public engagement along with stakeholder interviews. Working directly alongside the community, three main goals were established for this space; to activate the street, to provide real amenities for user groups within walking distance of the park (young families, students and an growing elderly population), and to design a space that honored the history of Jefferson Street while also providing opportunities for new community stories to be told. The park program included an interactive water feature, modern playground, stage and shade structure, gathering lawn, game tables, seat walls, movable furniture, new landscaping and an “expression” wall that would tell the story of how Interstate I-40 disconnected Jefferson Street from its adjacent neighborhood, while also providing a place for community artists to showcase their work on a rotating basis. The park stage was sited in a way to serve both the gathering lawn as well as Jefferson Street itself. Together with the expression wall and other interactive features of the site, the Kossie Gardner Sr. Park creates a dynamic and flexible new gathering space that reflects the character, both historic and new, of its neighborhood in an authentic and beautiful way.
