The Memphis Riverfront Concept is a vision document prepared by Studio Gang for the City of Memphis and Memphis River Parks Partnership describing a sequence of actionable investments to build a connected, catalytic and fun riverfront.
Guided by the Concept, the Partnership has prioritized investment into the most visible section of the riverfront adjacent to downtown. Two major projects, River Garden and River Line opened in November, 2018. The remediation of the historic Cobblestone Landing and the new Tom Lee Park will begin in 2021.
Download the concept and see before and after images of Tom Lee Park here.
There are many options to host weddings, birthday parties, family reunions and more at the riverfront. We charge rental fees based on the impact to the park and to the public.
