The river’s edge sharpens as you step off the park path and into a city-sized game: public art, plaques, and hidden details become checkpoints in a 90-minute pursuit. In Shelby Park the sidewalks hum with weekday dog walkers and weekend crowds, and the Let’s Roam app routes you through murals, statues, and small plaques that reward attention more than speed.
