Lucille Price Park

A Hidden Pocket of Calm

Situated in a Memphis neighborhood, Lucille Price Park spans a modest 2.50 acres but packs a surprising amount of tranquility into its small footprint. This little urban retreat gives nearby residents a piece of nature without having to venture far from home.

The park's non-fishing lake represents its centerpiece, creating a serene backdrop that transforms an ordinary city park into something a bit more special. While you can't take a dip or cast a line here, the water adds a peaceful element and attracts various feathered visitors throughout the seasons.

Places to Play

Basketball enthusiasts will appreciate the court where you can shoot some hoops or join in on an impromptu game with neighbors.

Sometimes the best park experiences involve doing very little at all. Scattered benches provide perfect perches for people-watching, reading, or simply enjoying a moment of stillness. The picnic tables invite you to bring lunch outdoors or enjoy a casual dinner as the day winds down.
