Several neighborhood parks, plus Shelby Farms
Holmes Park has a playground and a walking trail, and there’s a fishing pond and dog park at Forgey Park. The Lichterman Nature Center, also nearby, is a 65-acre preserve with a visitor center and wildlife exhibits. But the most popular area for recreation is Shelby Farms Park, about 6 miles away. It’s one of the largest urban parks in the country, featuring trails, lakes, playgrounds, even its own bison herd. “At one time, there was a plan to move the Memphis Zoo to Shelby Farms,” Rubenstein says. “That whole plan just didn’t happen, but they left the bison. And so the buffalo are still in Shelby Farms, and you can see them as you drive through.”
Kids are free to be kids on the playground at Forgey Park in Germantown.

A proposed mixed-use development could add to the area's happenings
A proposed development at the corner of Kirby Parkway and Poplar Avenue, called The Standard Germantown, could continue to make this stretch of Poplar one of the busiest in the city. It hasn’t yet been fully approved and funded, but the developer is planning a mixed-use complex with apartments, condos, retail and dining. “It looks like it could really transform that area from an entertainment and lifestyle perspective,” says Max Rubenstein, a Realtor with Keller Williams who’s worked in Memphis for almost a decade.
