I can't believe there hasnt been a thread on these topics yet!

I love the renderings on page 42 & 43 of the plan! The only thing I would want to add is random art sculptures (like in Millennium Park) and a public plaza with a huge fountain. Along with this news about Shelby Farms, CSX has come into what seems to be an agreement with Shelby County to turn the abandoned railroad on the north side of the park into a 100 foot wide and 13 mile long greenway/bike path! The rail beds are already being removed. I wonder how they'll manage to get over Germantown Parkway and Walnut Grove though. I guess walkways over these roads would be the best way to give the trails and park more continuity.
