Tyre Nichols Honored In Tom Lee Park

The memory of Tyre Nichols will forever be honored in Tom Lee Park.

The Hyde Foundation, a major donor to the park’s $60 million renovation, announced Friday it will name the canopy in the park for him. “Sunset Canopy” will honor “his family’s example of leadership, healing, and love.”

Nichols was a photographer who loved watching sunsets over Shelby Farms Park, his mother has said.

A ceremony in Tom Lee Park Friday will mark the honor.
