Tom Lee Park is a 30-acre city park that stretches along Memphis' Mississippi River waterfront, located immediately west of the city's downtown district. The scenic park is named in honor of African-American river worker Tom Lee, known for saving the lives of 32 passengers in 1925 aboard the shipwreck of the M.E. Norman. Today, the park serves as a popular destination for area joggers, walkers, cyclists, and rollerbladers looking for scenic exercise along the Memphis Grizzlies Riverfront Fitness Trail. Six fitness stations are also offered, along with two sand volleyball courts and a soccer field. Every year, the Beale Street Music Festival is held at the park, offering music performances throughout May.
