Shelby Farms Park offers a large outdoor landscape in Memphis, with open space, water, trails, and recreation areas spread across a broad park setting.
Shelby Farms Park brings lakes, open space, woodland and recreation areas together in Memphis. Its trail network connects different landscapes, including paths around the Heart of the Park lake area and routes through pine and hardwood woodland.
The park’s Greenline connects pedestrians and cyclists between Midtown Memphis, Shelby Farms and Cordova. Within the grounds, trails pass lakes and destinations such as the Woodland Discovery Playground. Rentals, play areas and organized activities have their own rules and schedules within this larger outdoor landscape.
