T.O. Fuller State Park

Memphis, TN

Few people ever stop to realize how much wildlife there truly is left in Memphis compared to many major cities across the United States. Amongst the shopping malls and drive-through burger dives, there lies what is left of Memphis, TN's wild nature - T. O. Fuller State Park. Located near the Mississippi River, just 11 miles South of downtown Memphis, it is the only state park within Memphis city limits. Surrounded by mom and pop stores, neighborhoods, and roadways, T.O. Fuller is 1,138 acres of mostly forest.

The park was named after Dr. Thomas O. Fuller who had spent his life empowering and educating African-Americans during the late 1800's and early 1900's.
