Memphis Riverside Parks

The Mighty Mississippi and Memphis’ picturesque skyline can be enjoyed from any of the Riverside Parks. Each park gives city-folk an opportunity to enjoy downtown and the great outdoors without having to trek out the Meeman-Shelby or Shelby Farms.

Greenbelt Park

This is where residents and visitors can get a little closer to the Mighty Miss. It’s also a great place to pick up pieces of driftwood for your next DIY craft. Make a day out of it and head down to the Mississippi River banks!

Mud Island Park

Harbored just off the main land is Mud Island park. You can splash in or walk beside a scale replica of the lower Mississippi River in the park, get the best views of the city or check out the park’s two free concert series.

Once a month attend “A Vibe on the Island” and the summer “Soulin’ on the River” which showcases upcoming local soul artists twice a month. Of course we can’t forget about the Riverwalk you can walk through.

Fourth Bluff

Here you’ll find Memphis Park and the River Garden.

Every Tuesday at 6:00 pm enjoy free yoga in River Garden. You don’t have to be a yoga expert to take these classes, all levels are welcome. So, grab your yoga mat get your stretch on!

You can also strengthen your mind and body with free Tai Chi classes.

Big River

This chain of parks stretches from the bottom of Beale Street to the top of Riverside Drive, and includes 2 more parks on Riverside Blvd. We suggest stopping at the platform on Ashburn-Coppock Park to get a beautiful picture of the city.

MLK Park

Martin Luther King, Jr. Riverside Park is a little trek away from the connected parks just north of it, but it’s a great place to bbq with family and fish with friends.
