FAQs
Memphis River Parks Partnership works with and for the people of Memphis to trigger the transformative power of our river.
What is the Memphis River Parks Partnership?
Memphis River Parks Partnership is a nonprofit (501c3) public-private partnership that works with and for the people of Memphis to unlock the transformative power of our river.
How do I get to the Riverfront?
The riverfront is an easy, short walk from downtown. Public parking is available at many river parks, but visitors are encouraged to arrive by foot or bike, which are the best ways to enjoy the parks and the river. Bike share stations are located all along the riverfront.
Can I bring my dog(s) to the parks?
Yes! Dogs are welcome at the river parks. Dogs must be kept on a leash, and we ask that you make sure to clean up after your pet.
Can I host a private event or wedding on the river?
Yes! People celebrate with all types of events on the riverfront. There are rental facilities available for events of all sizes.
This is your park. Enjoy it and help keep it clean, safe and beautiful.
Walk Your Dog!
Dogs are welcome in all Memphis River Parks. Please make sure to keep dogs on a leash unless in a designated dog park.
