Combined, Percy Warner Park and Edwin Warner Park constitute one of the largest municipally operated parks in the United States, covering 2,681 acres of land. Two golf courses, Percy Warner and Harpeth Hills, are located within the Parks. Warner Parks boasts many structures built in the 1930's by the Works Progress Administration. These features include seven limestone entrances, two stone bridges, miles of dry-stacked stone retainer walls, a steeplechase course, picnic shelters, scenic drives, overlooks, hiking trails, and bridle paths. Edwin Warner Park is home to Nashville's oldest model airplane flying field, dating back to the 1940's. The Parks contain a short section of the historic Natchez Trace, part of a vast and ancient network of trails originally used by the early Native Americans. Europeans settling in the Southeast found this trail to lead between what are now Natchez, Mississippi, and Nashville, Tennessee.
