Overton Park

Poplar Avenue, (West of East Parkway), Memphis, TN
Tel: Not available

This is the home of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, the Memphis College of Art, and the Overton Park Municipal Golf Course, but the park is a lovely place to visit for its own sake. There are trails for hiking and biking, tennis courts, a playground, picnic area, and huge, shady trees to relax under. The rainbow-painted amphitheater, once the location of concerts by Elvis Presley and ZZ Top, is now seldom used, but still a good place to sit and ponder the glories of music gone by.
