Image 1 of 1: Until the 1950s, the Owen Bradley Park property was a Double Eagle Service Station. In 1974 the space was transformed into a Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County park through a city planning project funded by a federal grant. Originally named Music Square Park, the park was dedicated to country music producer Owen Bradley (1915-1998) for his work in the country music industry. A statue of Bradley was added to the park in 1999, created by artist Gary Ernest Smith. The statue is made of bronze and is meant to capture Bradley's jubilant musical style. The park is across from the Musica statue on the Music Row roundabout, welcoming visitors to Music Row.
