Mt. Juliet hopes to move forward in the coming weeks on park space development plans at three locations.
Mundy Park
Three new tennis courts, four pickleball courts and an expanded playground are part of the upgrades to Mundy Park on Mt. Juliet’s south end near the Providence area, the city’s Parks Director Rocky Lee said. About 60 additional parking spaces are also planned.
The upgrades will service residents on Mt. Juliet’s south side that Mt. Juliet City Commissioner Jennifer Milele has advocated for.
“I honestly wish Mundy was bigger for more amenities, but we are limited on space there,” Milele said.

Commissioners approve Windtree Pines
The Mt. Juliet Board of Commissioners approved Windtree Pines on first reading Monday.
The project, which sits on the land where the Windtree Golf Course used to be, is 193 acres. It is planned to have 423 lots, 373 single family homes and 50 townhomes.
“Overall, I do like this development,” said Commissioner Jennifer Milele.
Milele had some issues like what the plan is to control flooding, Nonaville Road improvements and lighting in certain areas. The development has plans to widen Nonaville Road three lanes, including turn lanes into the project.
“This has tons of amenities, which I love,” said Commissioner Scott Hefner.
After months of deliberation, Mt. Juliet has authorized a sales agreement for the cityâs latest public park.
The Tomlinson property, measuring 57 acres of land on Beckwith Road, represents a $975,000 expense. Commissioners had previously discussed buying the Hayes property near Providence Central, but the landowner withdrew it from consideration before their meeting Monday.
âThe sales price is a really nice price for this for this,â Mayor James Maness said. âPlus we do have ⦠the letter of intent from Beazer Homes to do a lot of the improvements on behalf of the city. Thatâs definitely an item that weâll work through on that, but it is very promising to see that.â
