McFerrin Park is located in Northeast Nashville. The area is bordered on the west by Dickerson Pike, on the east by Ellington Parkway, on the north by Cleveland Street and on the south by Spring Street. It is adjoined on its north side by the Cleveland Park neighborhood. Originally known as North Edgefield, the area was annexed to Nashville during the early twentieth century (Nashville streetcar service extended out to Douglas Avenue by 1908). With the building of I-24 and Ellington Parkway, and the construction of the Sam Levy Homes in 1953, the area began to decline and has had a reputation for violent crime, drugs and prostitution. This is, however, starting to change. With the rapid gentrification of East Nashville/Edgefield and Germantown (on the other side of the Cumberland River), McFerrin Park (and its neighbor, Cleveland Park) has begun to attract the interest of homebuyers, as a drive down any of its streets these days will make readily apparent. Active neighborhood associations, with the cooperation of local police, have made significant strides toward cleaning up the area. A few notable landmarks include: the Caldwell School, Cantrell's Dixie Pig barbecue joint, and the twin Victorian cottages built in the 1890s by the McGavock family.
