Why did you get involved with Shelby Farms Park? I've been a park user for a long time, but I first got involved with the park formally by serving on Mayor Wharton's Shelby Farms Master Planning committee three years ago and I've been involved in this incredible project ever since.

What's your favorite place or favorite thing to do in the park? To paraphrase Elvis, I like everything about the park.   I like to ride my bike, but I think you have to put all the pieces together and look at the park as a whole to really understand its true value to our community.

Other than Shelby Farms Park, what's your favorite place in Memphis and why? See the previous answer and insert "Memphis." I simply love this city.

Shelby Farms Park is a big, beautiful landscape with the potential to be the greatest urban park in the country.
