Tom Lee Park

Tom Lee Park has quickly become a favorite spot for families, teens, and adults alike.

Before you head out, be sure to swing by South Point Grocery. From delicious snacks and refreshing beverages to sunblock and picnic supplies, we have everything you need to make your day at the park perfect.

Picnic by the River

Riverside Drive, with its scenic views and peaceful atmosphere, is the perfect location for a Labor Day picnic. Just picture laying out a blanket, putting on some soul or blues music, and relishing a delicious meal surrounded by the beauty of the Mighty Mississippi. At South Point Grocery, you can grab some freshly baked bread, gourmet cheese, deli meats, and various salads and sides. Don’t forget to pick up a cold bottle of wine or a six-pack; we have an award-nominated beer selection, so you will likely find something to suit every palate. Need something sweet? Pick up a batch of Elise Dessert Company’s banana pudding near the front of the store. With South Point Grocery just around the corner, creating a delightful picnic is easy and convenient.
