This park is incredible. Our teen boys wanted to go back after the first day to spend more time there. Such an awesome park!

Beautiful and clean park with plenty of walking trails. There is a mini restaurant on site, basketball courts, and plenty of place to skate or skateboard along the trails if that is your thing, or just sit back enjoy the water sites and watch traffic flow through Arkansas and Mississippi bridges

The new park and path along the Mississippi River is fabulous! There are beautiful pieces of art along the walkway and lovely areas for picnics or pondering for a spell. The flora is lush. The view exquisite. What a plus for Memphis to continue showcasing its water-front location. Kudos to the city and the designers of the new Tom Lee Park.

Get it done already! Seems like they have been working on it forever. Went by today and so very few people working. It’s going to be epic!

We explored Tom Lee Park while in town for Memphis in May. The park itself had beautiful views of the Mississippi but the workout equipment along the shoreline looked a bit outdated and rundown. Took away from the beauty of the surroundings in my opinion.

Tom Lee Park has a great view of the Mississippi River as it is centrally located between the two bridges spanning across the river into downtown. A great green space, fun for the whole family. Not to mention, this is also the site for Memphis' iconic annual music festival, Beale Street Music Fest, and other Memphis in May activities including BBQ Fest.

Locals and visitors should stop and see a beautiful sunset here. Big open space for walks and games if desired. The lights on the 2 bridges come on after sunset.

Mason,
We will be visiting Memphis in couple of weeks. Is om Lee Park the same as Mississippi River Park off Bass Pro Dr. on the Google Map? Has it been renamed? We look forward to visiting.
Thanks.

Absolutely! There were many picnic benches and if you take a blanket you can relax right by the river.
