Tips from the community
Moving away from the Mississippi River, Overton Park is located towards mid-town Memphis. This massive park is the place to be whether you’re looking to relax or get your heart rate up. With a 9-hole golf course, zoo, and 126 acres of forest, you’ll have more than you know what to do with at Overton.

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.
