Old Fort Park and Golf Course

Old Fort Park and Golf Course is a 50-acre park and public golf course located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The park grounds include the Civil War era Fortress Rosecrans and two trailheads to the city's Greenway system. The park is bound on two sides by the West Fork of the Stones River and is bound on the east by Lytle Creek, with a small spring fed tributary to the Creek, Springs Branch, bisecting the public park.
The original park site was once private farm land, which was then bought by the City of Murfreesboro in 1965. The park was dedicated on October 29, 1977. The park comprises 50 acres (20 ha) and has three picnic shelters, two play grounds, two baseball fields, eight tennis courts, and green areas. In 2010, the city began a $330,000 restoration project aimed at improving the quality of the waterways and preserving the natural spaces.
In October 2013, the City broke ground on a new $3.7 million indoor tennis facility. The joint-venture with Middle Tennessee State University will feature eight new tennis courts and will be open to the public as well as serve as the home of the Blue Raider men's and women's tennis programs.
The main playground of the park is "Kids' Castle" which was built in 1995 over the site of the original playground. Initially built of wood, the Castle was rebuilt in 2012 using synthetic materials at a cost of $300,000. The Castle was funded in part through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation.
Fortress Rosecrans is a large earthwork fortification built in 1863 under the direction of Union General James Morton. The Fortress was given its name in honor of William Rosecrans, Commander of the Army of the Cumberland. The largest fort built during the American Civil War, it encompassed an area of 255 acres (103 ha) and had a perimeter of 3.5 miles (5.6 km).
Built following the Battle of Stones River, the Fortress originally included eight lunettes, four redoubts, a sawmill, magazines, and soldier's barracks. Sitting astride the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad and two major roads, the fort became a center for logistical support for the Union Army. By June 12, 1863, the fort was garrisoned with 2,394 men and by October, the 22nd Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment had been stationed there.
