Welcome! We are a private, non-profit 501 (c)(3) corporation founded in February of 2018 by concerned citizens of Hendersonville, Tennessee, who wish to preserve the natural beauty of our city. Our mission is to conserve land throughout the city and create greenspace and park land for the benefit of all our residents.





Our first effort was to preserve what is known as “Batey Farm”, two tracts of 73 acres (the “Farm” and the “Hill”) that were up for sale on the Indian Lake Peninsula at Indian Lake Road and East Drive, with the hope of maintaining it as a passive, open-space park, and preserving a natural environment with public access forever.





On March 13, 2018, the City of Hendersonville Mayor and Board of Aldermen passed a resolution to purchase the lower 35-acre farm for $3 million. We, the FOFILP non-profit corporation, then went on to purchase the upper 38-acre hill with $1 million in donated funds.





Now we are working to raise funds and apply for grants to make minimal improvements to the hill. We hope to have a dedication of the hill in mid-Fall.





Thank you for leaving a legacy for your generation and those to come,





The board of Friends of Indian Lake Peninsula
