Why did you get involved at Shelby Farms Park?  It is a great opportunity to have a positive influence in my community and to fulfill a childroom dream of being a park ranger. 

What's your favorite place in the Park?  In the hidden pasture behind Boy Scout Lake, there is one of the most beautiful oak trees I have ever seen.  Beneath that tree is my favorite spot in the Park.

Other than Shelby Farms Park, what's your favorite plac ein Memphis and why?  I like Downtown Memphis along the Riverfront.  I enjoy watching the Mississippi River go by.  It allows me to collect my thoughts and gives me peace of mind.  There are also some great places to eat Downtown. 

Shelby Farms Park is going to be the model for parks in the 21st century.
