Concept to include aerial adventure course with quarter-mile-long zipline across the Wolf River Harbor, accompanying programming and activations, and food & beverage offering
A $10 million private investment in Mud Island has arrived in the form of The Forge Memphis, an aerial adventure course with accompanying programming and activations designed to deliver unique year-round activities for adventurers of all ages and abilities.
The project, which will require no incentives from any governmental bodies, was presented to members of the Memphis City Council on Tuesday, August 9.
Press release continued....
"The Forge Memphis is two years in the making and was conceived by DCA founder and principal Doug Carpenter, who has been instrumental in the branding and perpetuity of public-private projects including the Big River Crossing & Trail, the Mighty Lights, Explore Bike Share, and Liberty Park. He and co-founders Katie Elizabeth Carpenter and Frank Ricks established the venture in 2020 and have since advanced the company with a tested business model and fully-engineered designs by Bonsai Design, a Colorado-based award-winning adventure course designer
“We’ve evolved the plans and designs over the years with thoughtful feedback from and coordination with so many partners to not only better accommodate Mud Island but also create a better user experience,” said Doug Carpenter. “In the end, our goal is to authentically contribute to the accelerating culture of outdoor recreation and help realize the City’s vision for Mud Island and our riverfront as a whole.”
