Parks and Recreation If you take pleasure in the outdoors, the

neighborhood parks, some of the finest athletic fields, as well as
beautiful Greenbelt trails. Many parks are available for sporting events
and family picnics.

Religion plays an important
role in the lives of Collierville area residents. With 50 churches in
Collierville, there are almost two churches per square mile in our city
limits offering most major faiths and denominations. Choosing a place to
worship can be a difficult task especially for those relocating. To help

Stagecoach Stop
This
log cabin was used as the Collierville area’s stagecoach stop for many
years in the mid to late 1800’s. Built in 1851 by William W. Talley, it
was once located at Byhalia Road and South Rowlett on property now
occupied by PepsiAmericas Bottling Co. This log structure was relocated
and restored in 1977 by grants by the National Can Corporation and the
Mississippi-Arkansas-Tennessee Corporation.
Depot
As
far as research can ascertain, it is believed that Collierville has had
three depots. The first was built in 1852 and believed to have been
located on the North side of the railroad tracks between Center and Walnut
streets. The Battle of Collierville was centered around this depot where
Sherman’s train arrived from Memphis around noon on Sunday, October 11,
1863. The second depot was located where Center Street now crosses the
tracks. In the mid 1940’s the existing depot was moved from LaGrange, TN
and located east of Center Street on the north side of the railroad
tracks. In 1976 Southern Railroad gave the depot to the Town of
Collierville and it was moved to its present location in 1977.
Sunset on the Square Summer Concert Series
Every
year during June and July, locals and residents from nearby communities
have come to know that 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings is the time when you
drop what you’re doing, grab your lawn chairs, a picnic basket or a bucket
of chicken and head for the bandstand in the Historic Town Square.

This traditional town favorite features a variety of musical groups
ranging from R&B, Big Band and Classical to Bluegrass, Country, and
Broadway show tunes. Young and old alike sit back and enjoy the music
while savoring a snow cone or enjoying popcorn as the nighttime breeze
flows through the park. The concerts features weekly intermission
giveaways with prizes donated by local merchants, businesses, and Main
Street members. Admission is free to the public and this park is
handicap-accessible. (no pets or alcoholic beverages are permitted.)
