Shelby Farms Park
Regional Park · Memphis, Tennessee
Around four and a half thousand acres on the eastern edge of Memphis — several times the size of Central Park and among the largest urban parks in the United States — on land that was a penal farm until the 1960s. A major redesign completed in 2016 gave it an eighty-acre lake, a visitor centre and a proper network of trails, and it keeps a resident herd of bison in a paddock near the middle, which is the detail nobody believes until they see it.
6903 Great View Drive North, Memphis, Tennessee, 38134, United States
