One historic staple in Cordova is the Cordova Community Center, where a variety of classes and activities are available for all ages. Cordova has five elementary schools, three middle schools, and one high school. There are also several private schools in the community. Cordova has its own branch of the Memphis Public Library system. Right by the library, there is a large park with a great playground and sports fields. Shelby Farms Park is also partially located in Cordova. Additionally, there are many sports facilities, including golf courses and a country club.
Cordova is its own little community within the greater Memphis community and features many similarities to Memphis. If you want a smaller-town feel than what Memphis offers, this is the community for you.
