What a beautiful urban park setting combining an excellent dog park and soft stone, tree lined, walking paths. Add paved jogging paths and you have a formula for a good time. This park has anchors of the Memphis Zoo, art center and open areas for music. ALL FREE. Plenty of parking is several large areas. Get some urban outdoor exercise. Bring the dog (on a leash in the walking park or OFF Leash in the dog park)

Excellent old urban park to walk around and enjoy the outdoors! There is a main paved trail along with several gravel trails in the forest to follow. There is some signage tucked in along the trails that highlight critters you may see. Also, keep an eye out for fun mushrooms!

This is part of the amazing Memphis zoo. The zoo is a great place to visit while in Memphis. They just had the birth of a sloth, giraffe and baby hippo! Truly one of the best zoo's in the US. Next to the zoo is Overton park which has some good trails for hiking, running (there is a paved path), biking (on the small end) and...
