The parkway also connects to Interstate 40, which goes to Downtown Nashville, about 20 minutes from Sutherland Heights.
A few public schools are nearby
The area is served by Pennington Elementary and Two Rivers Middle schools, both of which are a few minutes away. Students here may then go to McGavock High School.

One of the Donelson area’s attractions is its parks and recreation. Sutherland Heights neighbors the Gaylord Springs Golf Links and isn’t too far from the Two Rivers Golf Course. “That’s huge,” Hoff says about being close to the two public 18-hole courses. Gaylor has a scenic, forest-lined course that peacocks and herons sometimes visit, while one of Two Rivers’ holes gives players views of the city’s skyline. The Two Rivers course is part of a larger park with a variety of attractions. The park’s attractions include a disc golf course, a dog park and the Wave Country aquatic center. Two Rivers Park is on the Stones River Greenway, which crosses the Cumberland River and lets cyclists go all the way to East Nashville’s Shelby Park area.
