Why Your Gift Matters
Overton Park Conservancy believes that vibrant public spaces build stronger communities. For over 100 years, Overton Park has been the heart of Memphis, where neighbors connect through walking, biking, golfing, playing, and simply enjoying nature.
The park is free to visit every day of the year, but keeping it clean, welcoming, and accessible comes at a cost.
- Annual operating cost: $1.4 million
- Privately funded: ~90% of our annual budget comes from donations
Every gift—no matter the size—is an investment in Memphis’s future.
