Tips from the community
Shelby Farms Park is a 4,500-acre park in the heart of East Memphis. Full of walking, biking and running trails, an awesome playground, splash area, fishing, a herd of buffalo and plenty of space to fly kites, this is the perfect place to let your little one run about and blow off steam. For a fee, you can also go horseback riding, rent bikes or check out a canoe, kayak or paddleboard to explore the park’s Hyde Lake. The park is open sunrise to sunset each day.

Shelby Farms is one of the largest urban parks in the country and feels like a place all its own. You’ll forget you’re in a city of almost two million people when you walk or cycle down the miles of paved trails.

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.
