Historic Parkwood Community Club Ballfields

Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville has completed a $2.5 million restoration of the historic Parkwood Community Club ballfields in North Nashville as part of its mission to build homes, communities and hope. The renovation project for the ballfields included new field turf, Musco lights, fences, dugouts, scoreboards, parking, concrete sidewalks, and roadways for two youth fields.

Major donors included Morgan Wallen, through his Morgan Wallen Foundation, MLB-MLBPA Youth Development Foundation (YDF), and the Speer Foundation, each contributing $500,000 to launch the campaign in 2023. The Nashville Sounds baseball organization also participated with a capital campaign donation and by offering annual player scholarships to the eight Parkwood Baseball teams over the past two years.

The ballfield renovation is part of a broader community effort led by Habitat of Greater Nashville, which encompasses the creation of a 59-acre Metro Park and the construction of 26 Habitat homes.

Significant funding partners in this collaboration including Russ and Allison Burns, The Memorial Foundation, Bank of America, The Frist Foundation, Joe C. Davis Foundation, Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Nissan, Charles Hawkins, and the Barnes Housing Trust Fund, who provided funding for land and infrastructure for the Metro park and for Habitat’s 26 home build.

Additional contributors to the ballpark renovation include: the Rogers Group, Hankook Tire America Corp., airbnb, Musco Lighting, Warner Athletics, First Horizon, FHLB, The Neal Agency, and HCRx. The combined efforts will represent a $12 million investment in District 2.

“From the funding partners to the vendors who performed the work, to the enormous time Habitat for Humanity has invested in this four-year project, everyone gave more and made this restoration possible. We are so grateful for the enormous hearts and willing hands in this community,” said Habitat Project Lead Sherry Stinson.
