Trying to decide between the wide-open green spaces of rural areas and the big city? East Memphis would like you to know that you don't have to choose.
East Memphis is home to the Shelby Farms Greenline, which runs through nearly 11 miles of urban landscape before reaching Shelby Farms Park, one of the country's largest urban parks. You can walk, run or bike the Greenline, so you have plenty of options to meet your neighbors, enjoy the scenery and stay in shape.
The Greenline is a rails-to-trails project that transformed an unused railroad line into one of Tennessee's favorite trails.
The Greenline runs from Tillman Street at Walnut Grove Road in Midtown to B Street at Macon Road in Cordova. There are access points at Tillman Street, Highland Street, High Point Terrace, Graham Street, Waring Road, Podesta Street, Sycamore View, Farm Road at Mullins Station Road, Whitten Road, Appling Road, Raleigh LaGrange Road, Germantown Parkway, Cully Road, A Street, and B Street / Macon Road at the Cordova Depot.
