ashburn-coppock park

This quaint 2-acre pocket of green has a beautiful, elevated north-facing view of the Memphis skyline and the riverfront and some of the oldest trees in Memphis. It connects to the riverwalk along the bluff in downtown Memphis. It is named in honor of Major General Thomas Q. Ashburn, who revived river transportation by organizing the Federal Barge Lines, and for Paul Coppock, a historian and Commercial Appeal reporter who led the fight to keep the site from being sold in 1953.  

There is a small public parking lot accessible from Riverside Dr. at Georgia. Lot open during park hours.

Open Daily:
6am to 8pm (Mar-Oct) | 6am to 6pm (Nov-Feb)
