    This is a great park within the Memphis area, with miles of hilly trails and beautiful forests. It is a true gem to have a park like this within the Memphis area. We love it and we love to hike there with a relatively short drive to the park.

    My hiking group (TN Trails Memphis Chapter) loves this park. I hope my donation will help y'all with trail maintenance. I know you are understaffed and are doing the best you can. We love you!

    T O Fuller is a great park. It is the first state park I visited when I was a child; my family has held several reunions there.

    I love living close to such a gorgeous and historic state park. I got engaged in 2022 on one of the trails!

About T.O. Fuller State Park

T.O. Fuller State Park was the first state park open for African Americans east of the Mississippi River. A Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in the area initiated construction of the park facilities in 1938. It was designated Shelby County Negro State Park in 1938 and was later changed to T.O. Fuller State Park in 1942 in honor of Dr. Thomas O. Fuller, a prominent African-American educator, pastor, politician, civic leader and author, who spent his life empowering and educating African Americans. Dr. Fuller served as principal of the Howe Institute, a precursor to Lemoyne-Owen College, for 27 years.
