点评:Shelby Farms is one of the largest urban parks in the United States with a size of 4,500 acres. Located at 6903 Great View Drive North in Memphis, Tennessee, on land that once was the site of the Nashoba Community, which was founded by humanist reformer Francis Wright in 1825, it was used as a penal farm by Shelby County from 1929 to 1964, then was opened for recreational purposes in the 1970s. In 2018, a redesign of the park provided additional hiking and biking trails, a new visitors center, the planting of more than 1 million new trees and more opportunities for boating on an enlarged Hyde Lake. The park contains lakes, natural forests and wetlands that provide natural habitats for wildlife, including a bison herd. Perhaps the most popular attraction in Shelby Farms Park is the Greenline, a 10.65-mile paved, urban trail that connects pedestrians and cyclists from Tillman Street at Walnut Grove Road in Midtown Memphis, through Shelby Farms Park to B Street at Macon Road in Cordova. Constructed over a closed CSX railway line, it opened in 2010.
翻译:谢尔比农场是美国最大的城市公园之一,占地4500英亩。它位于田纳西州孟菲斯市北大景路6903号,原址是纳肖巴社区。纳肖巴社区由人文主义改革家弗朗西斯·赖特于1825年创立。1929年至1964年间,谢尔比县将其用作流放地,之后于20世纪70年代开放为休闲娱乐场所。2018年,公园进行了重新设计,增设了徒步和自行车道、新建了游客中心,种植了超过100万棵新树,并扩建了海德湖,为游客提供了更多划船机会。公园内拥有湖泊、天然森林和湿地,为包括野牛群在内的野生动物提供了天然栖息地。谢尔比农场公园最受欢迎的景点或许要数绿线步道了。这条全长10.65英里的铺设路面的城市步道,连接着孟菲斯市中心蒂尔曼街和核桃林路的交汇处,途经谢尔比农场公园,最终到达科尔多瓦的B街和梅肯路的交汇处,为行人和骑行者提供了便利。绿线步道建于一条废弃的CSX铁路线之上,于2010年正式开放。
