The park itself is also home to miles of trails and a golf course, and is a natural setting for the creative spirit and young at heart since it is also home to the Brooks Museum of Art, the Memphis College of Art, and the Memphis Zoo. Recognized as the site of Elvis Presley's first professional rock-n-roll show, The Overton Park Shell has been an outdoor performing arts pavilion since the 1930s and is now ready for a new curtain call. This outdoor amphitheater has state-of-the-art sound and lights and can accommodate up to 3,000 people.
