Things To Do In The Town of Smyrna, TN

The town of Smyrna, TN is beautiful. There are many historic buildings that continue to be used for business. There is a revitalization project currently underway.

Smyrna Town Center
Many of my activities center around the Smyrna Town Center. The Town Center has a fitness facility that offers Karate, Aerobics, Machine and Free Weights, a Pool and Tennis and Racquetball at very affordable prices. You can pay as you go, there are no membership fees unless you wish to purchase a quarterly pass. I've always been thankful that this resource existed.

The YMCA
There is a YMCA which is being constructed on Sam Ridley Parkway. I'm sure that this will be a state of the art facility but I hope that the Smyrna Town Center will continue to be able to offer their activities as an alternative.

Parks and Recreation
In addition to the fitness facilities, there are a number of parks and mini parks around the area. There are so many, in fact, that I've not been to all of them. The largest of them is the Lee Victory Recreation Park at 110 Sam Ridley Parkway. The playground equipment is only a couple years old and there is a large walking trail, softball and football fields, tennis courts, basketball courts and plenty of picnic shelters. This park is located across the street from the Smyrna Golf Course and the Airport. Learn more about the Smyrna Park and Recreation Facilities here.

Halloween in the Park
If you've recently relocated to the Smyrna, TN area, you'll want to know about Halloween in the Park. I've attended every year since I've moved here. It is fun for people of all ages with hayrides, costume contests and food, food, food. Local businesses come out to show off their wares and offer coupons, have drawings for free stuff, and pass out samples. This year's Halloween in the Park will be held on October 29th in the Sharp Springs Natural Area from 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM.

What would you like to see in the town of Smyrna, TN?
I've named just a few of the activies that there are in the town of Smyrna, TN. I come from a very large city - St. Louis, MO. I really like the small town atmosphere but do long for culturally enriching activies. I would like to see more activities in the parks, perhaps plays or orchaestra performances. I'd also think that the town would really rally around a community theater. I'm very excited about what is going on with the revitalization project. The town of Smyrna, TN is a beautiful place, let's keep it that way. Add your comments about activities that you would like to see offered in the town of Smyrna, TN.
