One of the things that makes Smyrna such a great place to live is how easy it is to step out and enjoy something fun, active, or relaxing often all in the same day. Whether you’re new to the area or have lived here for years, here are my local favorites that highlight the everyday lifestyle that the community loves.
The Carriage House – Reformer Pilates & Wellness Collective


If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your body, calm your mind, and tap into an active community, The Carriage House should be on your radar. Located right here in Smyrna at 1675 Cumberland Parkway, this boutique reformer Pilates and wellness studio offers classes for all levels; from beginners to advanced practitioners.
The studio’s welcoming vibe and diverse class offerings—like Haven stretch sessions, active aging mobility work, and even pre/postnatal classes make it a nurturing space for many fitness goals. Whether you’re dropping into a group session or booking a private session tailored to your needs, The Carriage House is much more than a workout…it’s a community where you can feel stronger inside and out.
Silver Comet Trail


The Silver Comet Trail is a staple of outdoor life in Smyrna. Stretching for miles, it’s ideal for walking, running, biking, or simply enjoying a peaceful moment outside. Whether you’re squeezing in a quick morning jog or planning a long weekend ride, the trail offers a scenic escape that’s easily accessible and well loved by locals.
Fox Creek Golf Club

For golfers looking for a relaxed, approachable round, Fox Creek Golf Course is a favorite. Known for its friendly atmosphere and walkable layout, it’s a great place to sharpen your skills or enjoy a casual game with friends. It’s an executive golf course with a mix of par‑3s and more par‑4s (and a short par‑5) designed by John LaFoy. It’s proof that you don’t have to travel far to enjoy quality green space and recreation.
Legacy Golf Links


Legacy Golf Links offers a different pace, with a course design that’s both scenic and engaging. Surrounded by mature trees and rolling fairways, it’s a popular choice for players who enjoy a thoughtfully designed course and a quieter setting. It’s a hidden gem that adds to Smyrna’s diverse recreational options. It’s an 18‑hole executive style course (primarily par‑3s with a few short par‑4s) designed by PGA Hall‑of‑Famer Larry Nelson.
Fun fact: the Legacy course was the first place I ever got a birdie on a 3-par!
Smyrna Run Club


Community really shines through with the Smyrna Run Club. Welcoming runners of all levels, the club is as much about connection as it is about fitness. Group runs, social meetups, and a supportive atmosphere make it a great way to stay active while getting to know neighbors and making new friends.
No matter your interests or fitness level, Smyrna has something for everyone. From scenic trails and golf courses to Pilates studios and running clubs, staying active in this community is as easy as stepping outside your door. Use this guide as a starting point to explore, try something new, and make the most of all that Smyrna has to offer!
