Shelby Farms Park is a 4,500-acre public park that features a variety of habitats, including natural forests, lakes, and wetlands that provide an ecosystem for a wealth of fauna and flora, including a herd of American bison. One of the largest parks in the country, Shelby Farms Park was once a privately owned property in the 19th century that still features the remains of a settlement from that time. The park was used as a penal settlement in the mid-1900s before being converted into a park for leisure activities. The park features a seven-mile biking and hiking trail connecting Shelby Farms to the heart of Midtown with access points in several locations en-route. There are also trails for horseback riding, skating, mountain biking, and running, along with playgrounds, and plenty of space to fly kites.
