Meet us at 12:15 at the information kiosk in the Rainbow Lake Playground parking lot. Leashed dogs are welcome on this walk! More info: https://overtonpark.org/event/field-notes/2026-03-16/...
Did you know that there was once a car-camping facility on the eastern edge of the Old Forest? In the 1920s, Memphis`s tourist camp was considered a pioneering way to travel. It didn`t last for long, but the effects still linger in the form of a higher concentration of invasive plants where trees were cleared to make way for the tourists. On next week`s Third Thursday Trek, we`ll walk through the area once reserved for cars and see what evidence of the past we can uncover. Register now at the link in our bio or at overtonpark.org/trek....

Our Overton Park volunteer rangers are making the park a more beautiful place for everyone--and we`d love you to join the team! Rangers assist with picking up litter, staffing park programs, and logging maintenance issues for our operations team. We`re having a ranger orientation this Saturday at 11:30 for anyone who would like to learn more about the program. RSVP at the link in our bio.
