About MLK Reflections Park in Memphis
MLK Reflection Park is located in downtown Memphis, Tennessee, at the corner of South Second Street and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue. The park was created to commemorate Dr. King's impact on Memphis and the world. It features a thoughtful design focused on reflection and remembrance.
The centerpiece of the park is a series of reflection pools. These pools create a serene atmosphere and provide visitors with a space for contemplation. The park also includes never-before-seen photographs of Dr. King, offering visitors a unique glimpse into the civil rights leader's life and work.
Completed in just 56 days, the park opened in 2018 as part of the MLK50 commemoration, marking 50 years since Dr. King's assassination in Memphis. The quick construction timeframe demonstrates the city's commitment to honoring Dr. King's legacy.
While compact in size, MLK Reflection Park serves as an important addition to Memphis's civil rights history sites. Its downtown location makes it easily accessible to both residents and tourists interested in learning more about Dr. King's connection to the city.
