Martin Luther King, Jr. Riverside Park West Mallory Avenue, Memphis, TN 38106

"Great park! Huge natural jewel hidden amongst industry and urban blight. Quaint old marina, recently renovated golf course, expansive virgin(?) forest, great river access and river views (even with huge industrial port across the river)."

"The park is very pretty and surprisingly well maintained considering that there is an old or abandoned boat marina that makes that side of the river look bad. However the park itself is enclosed by a wonderful forest of mature trees. The picnic infrastructure is vintage but looks charming and well kept. It is very clean and the roads and trails are very pleasant and peaceful. The only drawback is the factory right at the entrance of this wonderful park and it is a total eye sore. It is also very noisy on that side of the park. Many people probably avoid the park because it is located on what it appears to be a disadvantage community and the way leading to the park is not well kept as the downtown area, which is a shame since the metal museum is beautiful and it is also located in that area. The city of Memphis should make more emphasis on protecting these wonderful parks and making them safe and appealing to everyone. That place is right at the river, it could be just as wonderful as the Riverfront giving the city more places for entertainment and leisure!"

"Park was ok but it smelled and had overfilled XL size dumpsters. Lake had a strange green color even the tourist asked me why was it that color. Fishing was not good small fish kept stealing bait. Overall it wasn't a good visit. Took nice pics though."

"Multiple entrances with play equipment on both ends, great walking trail. Nice little lake."

"The birds were singing, the wind could be heard easing through the trees. The lake was aqua marine. The only negatives were the tracks of people as at 1030 on a Sunday morning the bathrooms were a hot mess and the debris around the pavilion had been scattered by critters overnight."
