Great place to ride bikes, scooters, roller blades with your friends or family or by yourself. There is little shade by the lake but the walking trail along the lake is one of our favorite attractions at the park.
A premier Urban Park in the heart of Memphis. Beautiful lakes, peaceful walking past and plenty of fun outdoors activities. This gem should never be taken for granted.
We went to Shelby Farms for the Starry Nights Christmas Lighting. It was very organized with the flow of cars through the entire tour. The was a station where you could stop to get hit chocolate. Oaying in advance was no different than paying upon arrival. The was a lot of time and effort in displaying all the lights for tourist viewing pleasure. It showcased many of Memphis attractions in lighting form. There were so many things that made you go ahhh. Would definitely recommend viewing this when there for the winter season.
Shelby Farms is absolutely beautiful in the spring. There are so many flowers, butterflies, and bees along the main trail. Sometimes you see wild deer.
Hyde lake is a good place to go and walk, run or cycle for exercise. There are separate paths first foot and cycle traffic but unfortunately it’s no longer marked clearly so when walking you have to pay attention to avoid cyclists and people on those damn electric scooters! Refreshing the signage would help a lot. Also, they don’t know the difference between London Bridge and Tower Bridge.
The off leash dog area is an awesome feature.

Memphis is very fortunate to have such a large and well maintained park as this. Great variety of walks, lots of parking, excellent and clean facilities plus a gift shop and coffee shop.
It's a very nice clean park. I love the trail. I like how they offer a separate bike trail and walk trail during most of the trail. The lake view makes the walk not seem long!! Love it.
