Summer Fun Doesn’t Have to Be Complicated
When you live at The Crockett Apartments in Hermitage, TN, summer doesn’t need to be planned out in advance. Sometimes the best days come from rolling outside, grabbing lunch to-go, and enjoying local parks just minutes from home. Whether you’re skating with a playlist or catching your breath in the shade, summer here is meant to feel easy, low-key, and joyful.
Skating Is Back and It’s Better Than Ever
Let’s be honest—rolling around on skates feels good. It’s nostalgic, a little silly, and a lot of fun. If you haven’t skated in a while, now’s your chance. Start with the paved walkways at Cedar Hill Park, which offer smooth paths and enough open space to take it slow or pick up some speed.
Looking for a quieter practice spot? Head to Hermitage Park, which is just a short drive from The Crockett and has a peaceful vibe perfect for getting back into your groove.
The Perfect Picnic Doesn’t Require a Reason
Pick a weekday lunch or a slow weekend morning. Pack up your favorite sandwiches, cold drinks, and maybe something sweet. Then, head over to Stones River Greenway. The views are beautiful, and the energy is calm—perfect for lunch with a friend or some solo downtime with a good playlist.
Not in the mood to prep food? Grab something from a local café and head to the picnic area at Hermitage Park. It’s low effort and still gives you that outdoorsy summer feeling.
Walking Trails That Feel Like a Breath of Fresh Air
You don’t need a full hike to get the benefits of time outside. The Stones River Greenway connects to several trails and park spaces in the Hermitage area. You’ll find paved paths, natural scenery, and shady routes that are great for morning walks or winding down in the evening.
Even a quick 20-minute stroll can lift your mood—and that’s what summer is all about.
Stretch Out and Find Some Stillness
Yoga in a park just hits different. Roll out your mat under a tree at Cedar Hill Park or find a flat patch of grass at Hermitage Park. Whether you’re doing a guided session or just stretching it out on your own, the natural setting makes it easier to relax and reset. Invite a neighbor and make it a weekly thing.
Refuel with a Local Coffee Break
After all that movement, stop by Momento Specialty Coffee for something cold and refreshing. It’s a cozy local gem just a short drive away with solid iced lattes and friendly faces.
Living at The Crockett means your best summer is right outside your front door. Whether you’re skating through parks, walking trails, or lounging with coffee in hand, Hermitage has everything you need for a fun, feel-good season. Just step out and enjoy it.
