The
best
park
I've
ever
been
to,
though
I
haven't
been
to
many
large
parks
like
this.
Hyde
Lake
is
a
wonderful
spot
to
watch
the
sunrise/sunset.
Kayaks,
canoes,
ziplines,
rental
bikes,
special
events,
rental
pavilions,
seafood
restaurant,
souvenir
shop,
restrooms,
grills,
Tour
de
Wolf
mountain
bike
path,
children's
play
area,
large
sand
box,
swinging
benches,
walkable
trails,
dedicated
no-leash
dog
park,
Buffalo,
horseback
ridingโlots
of
things
to
do
here!
There's
a
dedicated
separate
biking
path
around
Hyde
Lake,
just
watch
out
for
oblivious
walkers
who
don't
know
what
the
bike
images
all
over
the
path
mean.
The
big
negative?
Being
located
in
Memphis
means
you
will
encounter
some
ghetto
people,
complete
with
cringe-worthy
inappropriate
outfits,
gang
clothing,
loud
rap
music
from
portable
speakers,
and
the
occasional
uncontrolled
Pitbull.
The
staff
does
an
excellent
job
cleaning
up
all
their
trash
that
they
carelessly
litter
about.
Despite
several
large
lakes/ponds,
there
is
nowhere
to
actually
swim.
They
have
an
overpriced
splash
pad
that
you
have
to
reserve
by
time
slot,
but
no
pool.
There's
also
no
place
to
change
clothes
for
the
splash
pad.
It
is
probably
for
the
best
that
there
is
no
public
pool
here,
since
the
ghetto
element
would
show
up
and
swim
in
their
dirty
boxers,
old
gym
shorts,
and
nasty
socks.
Enforcing
appropriate
swimwear
would
be
a
nightmare
for
staff,
since
the
go-to
response
would
always
be
to
pull
the
race/racism
card.
Whether
you
want
to
enjoy
the
sights,
view
wildlife,
ride
horses,
kayak,
bike,
or
many
other
things,
you
just
can't
go
wrong
with
Shelby
Farms.
