Tips from the community
While definitely smaller than Overton, Tom Lee has its own charm. On the banks of the Mississippi, you can watch the world go by and get great views of the Arkansas side of the Mississippi River, located just on the other bank.

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.
