Upcoming Trek

Did you know you used to be able to go “glamping” in Overton Park during the 1920s? Since October is one of the best times to camp in the South, during this month’s trek we’ll dive into the history of the “tourist camp” that existed in the Old Forest and learn to recognize its lasting fingerprints in today’s ecosystem.

Trek surfaces will include paved road, limestone gravel trail, and Old Forest natural trails with uneven surfaces.

Registration will open on this page one week before the program.

Overton Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organization that has been caring for Memphis’s central green space since 2012. With the generous support of our community, we work each day to make the park a beautiful and welcoming place for all Memphians, as well as a valuable source of urban habitat for wildlife.

The Conservancy must raise roughly 85% of our budget each year from people like you who care about the many things Overton Park has to offer. A gift of any amount helps us maintain and improve the park.
