The Fourth Bluff

Fourth Bluff Park is an urban greenspace located along the Mississippi River in downtown Memphis, Tennessee. The park sits atop the fourth Chickasaw Bluff, offering scenic views of the river. Formerly known as Confederate Park and Memphis Park, it was redesigned and renamed in recent years as part of a broader riverfront revitalization effort.

The park spans approximately three acres and serves as a peaceful retreat within the city. It features paved walking trails, benches, and open grassy areas for relaxation and recreation. The elevated position on the bluff provides visitors with expansive vistas of the Mississippi River and surrounding landscape.

Fourth Bluff Park has historical significance as part of the original public land set aside by city founders on the river bluffs. Over the years, it has undergone several transformations. Most recently, the park was reimagined to be more welcoming and inclusive for all community members. This involved removing certain monuments and renaming the space to reflect its geographic location rather than historical associations.

The park now hosts various community events and activities throughout the year, including concerts, festivals, and fitness classes. Its central location in downtown Memphis makes it easily accessible for both residents and visitors looking to enjoy outdoor space along the riverfront.
