Beautiful park in the city! Nice trails and grassy areas. We rented bikes nearby as cruised around. Not much shade so it was very hot.

I only do the 84 steps as my weekly workout on Riverside Drive. I love the view coming down. The Mississippi River and the two bridges - the new one as well as the old one - are a beautiful sight to see. The landscape is well kept and the stairs are not in disrepair. Its safe to go up and down without hurting yourself. You just have to be careful, of course, as it is very steep. Overall, the park itself is a very good size and a nice place to take your family for an outing whether daytime or afternoon.

We went for the Beale Street Music Festival. It was VERY well thought out and planned for. Some extremely professional event planners did a wonderful job in making sure everything for such a large crowd attracting event was addressed and properly taken care of. Kudos to The People behind the scenes!! You are appreciated!!

You can really enjoy yourself at Tom Lee Park even on the steps and Bill Street landing. It’s all along the way as you go towards the bass pro shop. You can play sand volleyball soccer throw around the ball with the kids, even get in a quick run or walk.

A beautiful riverside park where you enjoy beauty of nature along with human development. A widest river in the world and park aside having view of wide river, beautiful human constructed bridges, a small port, and downtown high building and last but not least a glass pyramid. Having park area for kids, a ship like structure, sitting area and trail for walk, jogging and to do some exercise. Enjoy a beautiful sunset with family and make time valuable.

A beautiful green space on the edge of the Mississippi River. Even if there isn’t a public even taking place, it’s still worth a visit for a relaxing stroll and the be away from the hustle of the busy city for a while.

Very interesting. Was in Memphis for the game and decided to take my significant to the Riverfront. We were surprised to a monument honoring To Lee. I recommend that everyone stop by, take a walk and read the information on Tom Lees Monument. The riverfront is also beautiful and tranquil.

Tom Lee Park, is such a relaxing place. The river view, is so serene and peaceful, I could stay there all day if possible. The Pro Bass Shop also is a landmark within itself, its like stepping back into time, seeing the River Boat Queen and its historical setting on the river, reminds me of Tina Turner song, Proud Mary

Went to Memphis in May Beale Street music festival. It rained the day before but it was almost totally dry. There was the regular festival/fair foods with some local food trucks and Wing Stop and Corkys BBQ. It was a good mix of music on the 3 main stages, the blues tent and the little shack stage. It was probably the biggest attendance ever.

I sat out here & ate My Guss Famous Fried Chicken! It was delicious & I loved the view! Ive never eaten by The River before (The Mississippi)... My Life List is to visit ALL 50 states & a country from each letter of the alphabet! Thats what brought me here to TN & The Lorraine Motel. This park is nice, now on to Beale St! All the way from Hou, Tx. I like this place. Ill be back! Travel Tip:. If youre in The Medical Center in Memphis, youre 20 minutes away from Mississippi & in another direction, 10 minutes from Arkansas! Do ALL 3! Wish I would have known prior to my arrival, I sure would have. Beale St is just like Bourbon St in New Orleans! #OpenBar. Go to Memphis & njoi the food & live music!!
