My younger brother moved from the bay area to a suburb of Nashville. He hates it because (per him, I haven't verified this) there are no public parks or trails that he can run or bike at within like 40 miles of his place. Plenty of private parks, but nothing public. At least it seems that way to him since every city he's lived in California had/has at least 15 miles of bike trail and usable public parks in every neighborhood.
Weird, I grew up in the Bay Area myself and I never even heard of private parks. Like, you need a membership? A resort I can understand, but a park??? That just seems insane. And I think of Nashville as a good ol' down home American heartland kinda place.
I am familiar with only one. It was built by the HOA. The HOA fenced off the park and locked the gate to prevent nonresidents from using it. i have literally never seen anyone use the park (there are better ones in walking distance) but i just find it hilarious that they'd go to all that effort for something no one uses.
