From the edge of Mud Island River Park, downtown Memphis feels like a living postcard. The Mississippi widens in front of you, mirroring the steel arcs of the Hernando de Soto Bridge and the glassy prow of the Bass Pro Pyramid. To the south, the Beale Street Landing roof hints at the city’s musical heart, while office towers and the FedExForum rise behind a fringe of riverside trees. At dusk, river tugs glow and the skyline turns gold, violet, and finally neon.

Installed in 2019, the 50-foot-long, 10-foot-tall “MEMPHIS” sign sprawls across the south lawn of Mud Island River Park off the Mississippi River. Commissioned for the city’s bicentennial “New Century of Soul” celebration and funded by Memphis River Parks Partnership with sponsors, the multicoloured block letters form a photo backdrop visible from downtown and the I-40 bridge. Designers finished both sides, so the sculpture reads correctly from land and river, and it is repainted for events.

It‘s a really interesting place to visit.

Mud Island Park is home to the Mississippi River Museum, Wolf River Harbor, and the Mud Island Park Amphitheater. There are a handful of intertwining paved paths in the park and a bunch of different viewpoints with informational placards spread throughout the property.

The Mississippi River Walk is a popular path circling around the Mud Island Park property and offering views of the Mississippi River. This paved trail is a great place for everyone in the family. It is flat and features numerous informational signs along the side of the trail.

The V&E Greenline is an almost 2-mile-long urban trail that runs through Memphis. It is a multiuse path and is popular with bikers, runners and walkers, so make sure you are respectful of other trail users.

Excursions and themed dinner cruises on the Mississippi with an old-fashioned paddle steamer fleet.

Court Square provides the perfect place to sit in peace amid the hustle of Downtown Memphis. The quiet oasis is surrounded by office buildings and busy streets and offers a shady area with fountains, statues, and a gazebo, and places to relax and enjoy the restored antique trolleys going by on Main Street. The square is located between Main and Second Streets at Court Avenue. Of all the 4 original municipal parks laid out by the city planners in 1819, Court Square is the only one left in its original form. Ironically the land was set aside to build a court house, but no courthouse was ever built on Court Square. It was however, the site of Memphis' first schoolhouse. The land for Court Square was donated by John McLemore, one of the founders of Memphis
