Live next door to The Outback at Shelby Farms, a 100-acre off-leash paradise with lakes, trails, and open fields.

Cordova offers dog owners an unparalleled perk: immediate access to Shelby Farms Park, specifically "The Outback." This expansive, multi-use off-leash area covers over 100 acres and features open fields, wooded trails, and ponds where dogs can swim freely. It is widely considered one of the best dog parks in the country. Beyond the park, the Shelby Farms Greenline provides a paved artery for cyclists and dog walkers, connecting Cordova to the heart of Memphis.

Life in Cordova is defined by this access to massive green space. Residents can enjoy a suburban lifestyle with convenient shopping and dining along Germantown Parkway, where many patios are dog-friendly, while being minutes away from a wilderness-like experience for their pets. Water safety is key here due to the lakes in The Outback. Whether your dog is a swimmer, a runner, or a trail hiker, Cordova provides the ultimate playground right in your backyard. The humid climate makes the shaded trails of the park particularly valuable during summer months.
