Shelby Farms is a 4,500-acre site just outside of Memphis, Tennessee. The historic farm is already the county's largest park, but it lacks the activities and programming of a great recreational destination. Shelby County and a group of private foundations seek to transform the park into a vibrant multi-use community resource. They have retained the services of Alex Garvin & Associates to manage the design process and create the vision and program for the new park.

Working with key stakeholders, the firm will develop an RFP to solicit the world's best landscape architects. When complete, the revitalized Shelby Farms Park will be integrated with adjacent neighborhoods, connect to a county-wide open space system, and create regional destinations for visitors and residents of the Memphis area.
