“Forming part of a larger regeneration of six miles of its waterfront, Tom Lee Park will transform a largely barren strip of land into a network of community spaces for year-round use, with an adventure park, kinetic boardwalk and river-edge pavilions, due to open in 2023. The park also commemorates Tom Lee, an African American man who rescued 32 people from drowning, and aims to create a historic walking loop with the nearby National Civil Rights Museum.”
“Equity does not sit in opposition to a thriving, appealing city. It is central to it,” writes Memphis River Parks Partnership President and CEO Carol Coletta, our client on Tom Lee Park and the Memphis Riverfront Concept.
