Peabody Park is a delightful city park located in Memphis' Midtown neighborhood, best known as the home of the Raymond Skinner Center, which offers recreational activities for community members with mental and physical disabilities. Throughout the summer months, young visitors can play at the park's aqua play splash pad, which is home to fountains, geysters, and misters. A children's playground is also offered, along with a small sporting field and two day-use picnic pavilions available for special event rental. Lovely metal sculptures showcase the work of local metalsmith Yvonne Bobo, entitled "Without Boundaries." A number of local festivals are held at the park throughout the year, including live music performances.
