It looks like there possibly still the entrance(and/or the exit roads?), and the outline of the drive-in site(and possibly some of the ramps, used as the carparks?). Whats the buildings there now on the site?

The Warner Park Drive in operated into the early 70’s if memory serves me correctly. The land was cleared and a big gym was built there, but I don’t know what is there now. Very steep lot it was built on. Other drive ins in Nashville at the time, Bel Aire, Colonial, Montague, Lebanon Rd, Skyway, Crescent and maybe another one or two I can’t remember. There were actually two Colonials. The original was at the intersection of Old Hickory Blvd and Gallatin Rd, and was a single screen. The second was a twin closer towards Hendersonville.
