Big River Park Started With $1M Gift
A $1 million gift will establish Big River Park on about 1,500 acres of land along the west side of the Mississippi River.
The move will purchase land there now in the hands of multiple owners. That land is primarily between the Hernando De Soto Bridge and Big River Crossing on the Harahan Bridge. Buying the land and stitching it together will help ensure that it is conserved and protected for recreational and outdoor needs of the Memphis region.
