Memphis' Shelby Farms Park air quality benefits from the 4,500-acre suburban park's exceptional scale providing outstanding natural filtration east of Memphis. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding arterials contributes modest local sources, while the extraordinary park scale — one of the largest urban parks in the US — and the woodland and lake environment generally maintain Shelby Farms among Memphis' most reliably clean major public spaces throughout most of the year.
