The park is undergoing renovations, but is a great location for running, walking, bicycling, etc. Picnic tables are provided and a great family location.
It looks like they are expanding the park and unfortunately the signage was a little lacking but after our 3rd try we manage to find the road taking us to the temporary visitor center. Lots of mud and heavy equipment at the moment.The paved path was nicely maintained but the scenery around the park was only average. A couple of swampy areas, a few woody areas and then a number of open fields. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely a place I would go to run or bike but it was average.The only above average parts were the nice/clean bathrooms and they have live Buffalo in one section of the park! Was very cool to see them up close.
Just off I40 with a wonderful walking trail. We walked 5 miles round trip on the trail. We were just passing through Memphis and wanted a good safe please to walk. We loved the park and will likely do it again when passing through.
Whatever you like, you will find it here. Trails, biking, paddle boats, horseback riding, fishing, wildlife. Nothing to dislike here except mosquitos in the evening.
my children and I go here sometimes, they like the slides and the play park. I like to walk around the trails. it has a little something for everyone in our family.
I can't say enough about how wonderful this place is! The playground is innovative and amazingly fun! The bike trails are fabulous, they have epic scenery and a herd of buffalo! It's my favorite thing about Memphis!
The park is wonderful. Memphis' version of central park. The construction that's going on now can be challenging but I am certain it will be well worth the obstacles when it's done. We were married there several years ago- loved it then.. love it now.
We went to Shelby Farms Park and walked on one of their trails. We had our dog with us and everyone enjoyed the walk. There were lots of other dogs all on leashes which was good. There were also joggers, and cyclists but everyone worked well together on the trail. It was a nice, well maintained walking trail. Loved it
We were traveling through Memphis with our almost 3 year old and we're looking for a good Christmas light display. We happened on Orion Starry Nights at Shelby Farms and were quite impressed. The light displays were pretty nice and the village in the park had one of the best petting zoos I've see variety wise and smores! Very fun night and would definitely recommend it to others with small kids!
Once the construction to add more lakes, this will be 5 stars. A great dog park, lots of trails for bikes and walking, horses and even buffalo. A beautiful, well kept park.
