Tips from the community
Located near the Mississippi River, this is a much smaller alternative to the larger urban parks. You’re guaranteed incredible views and tranquility at this park named in honor of those who helped the sick during the yellow fever epidemic of 1878.

Best Parks in Memphis
joecolemanfreelance (Joe Coleman) You know that Memphis is the home of the blues (and rock, gospel, and soul, among others). You know that it’s a place willing to fiercely defend its barbecue style. However, you might be surprised to learn that Memphis is actually filled with parks to add to your trip itinerary! If you’re looking to walk off those Memphis-style ribs, you’ll have plenty of lush urban and traditional parks to choose from.
