Memphis may not have any national parks, but our parks are getting national recognition. Whether you visit your neighborhood park or one of the city's signature green spaces, you can celebrate the role that collaboration, innovation, and community-centered planning play in making Memphis a vibrant place to live, work, and play. Two of the newest leaders in this work, Kaci Murley (Overton Park Conservancy) and Marcha Allen (Memphis Parks)share a peak behind the scenes to some of the city's most public spaces.
