1. Walk, run, skate or bike the Shelby Farms Greenline - free

The seven-mile long paved trail runs along an old railroad line from Tillman and Walnut Grove in Midtown to Shelby Farms park in East Memphis. The trail is free and open daily from sunrise to sunset. At some point, allegedly, a two-mile long extension—the Hampline—will connect the Greenline to the existing Overton Park pathways and Old Forest Trail.

The Greenline! (or part of it). 

2. Take advantage of the 60+ miles of bike lanes that traverse the city - free

Whether you're using them for fun or for commuting, we've got lanes in five different neighborhoods and one route around the city core (go here for a map). You can even ride across the Mississippi on the Big River Crossing bridge. Don't have a bike? See #3.
