E.S. ROSE PARK
Belmont University has partnered with Nashville’s Metro
Board of Parks and Recreation to provide $8 million worth of
enhancements to nearby E.S. Rose Park which would also allow the
University to lease space for athletics. Rose Park opened for play
in April 2011.
With a majestic view of the downtown Nashville skyline, the
enhancements at Rose Park provide new resources for the Edgehill
community and Belmont student-athletes including accessible walking
trails and softball, baseball, track and soccer fields.
In fact, in just its fourth-ever game at Rose Park, Belmont
Baseball set an NCAA record with 19 runs in the first inning
against UT-Martin. Rose Park also sparked the Bruins’
historic run to the Atlantic Sun Championship and a regional
finalist showing in the 2011 NCAA Baseball Championships.
The Metro Parks Board will maintain the exclusive authority to
schedule the use of the park and will remain the sole owner of the
park and its improvements. Utilizing the new sports fields and
their accompanying concessions will be neighbors from the Edgehill
community, athletic teams from nearby public schools, the youth and
adult recreational programs of Metro Parks, neighborhood churches,
community groups, nonprofit sports organizations and Belmont
University.
The university also agreed to award eight full Belmont scholarships
and two partial ones to students in the Edgehill community and help
sponsor neighborhood little league baseball and softball teams.
