Ok so I haven't been to this park since my son was small. I remembered that it used to b beautiful…read more. I went to check it out . The park itself is very small . Heck you have to walk it 2x just to make a mile. The playgrounds are so small, the parking was all full from the baseball teams, and the thing that disappointed me the most the water was so trashy. The one thing I remembered and loved was the water. The water was shockingly trashy!!! There really isn't anything positive about this park and I was hugely disappointed ...I thought that the park might have been revamped/ added too but unfortunately not. It's a shame ..Helena you really need to do better!!!

Spring has sprung!! My husband and son love fishing here. There's a trail round the fishing pond…read morethat I walk while they fish. 2 laps is one mile. They have ducks and 2 playground areas, that are nice enough. There's also a nice covered picnic area.. it's not very big but a family could enjoy it.

I really enjoy coming to this hidden gem of a park. I go to parks for peace and quiet. I just want…read moreto vibe in nature . There are no sport fields here(yay!) There is not a playground here (sorry kiddos) but what you do find are many trails to walk and enjoy . You actually might not even see another person . This is a huge park with many trails intersecting one another. There are plenty of informative signs all around, benches and just tranquil scenery. How could you not like sitting beside a creek listening to the sounds of nature. Most parks miss the whole point of what a park is supposed to b. There is history around if you look hard enough . I have been twice so far and haven't seen all the trails yet. You will see turtles sunning themselves and colorful birds They have one bathroom at the entrance and a pavilion with picnic tables right beside the parking area. If you like nature (as I do!) , wildlife, and peace and quiet this is your jam. It is mine:) Now women word of warning I wouldn't come here by yourself straight up. The place is so huge and I'm sorry if you go on the long trails it could b dangerous. Just b cautious and observant. So this is a more of a wild park than people are used to. The parking lot is gravel. If you love to explore nature as I do! You should love it:) I love the history of this place which many parks erase or don't highlight enough (Alabaster cough cough) So take a water bottle, a snack, and love of exploring and go check this place out. Please though respect the park don't litter, and have some time in nature. Quietly please ... Some of us love to get away from the bustle of society and recharge in peaceful surroundings..I can't wait to go again :)

Definitely a beautiful park for a walk with nature or to enjoy playing outside for the littles…read more Theres honestly something for everyone. It's nestled inside a quiet neighborhood. It has a few trails and lots of parking. The playground isn't covered is something to keep in mind when the sun's out, but beautiful nonetheless.

I went for the first time the other day! It was such a good experience! If you are in the area and…read moreare looking for a quiet place to relax, walk, take a call, walk your dog, etc definitely stop by. Parking is free. They have 2 mini trails. Everything is well kept!! PICK up trash, they have cameras so they know who is littering and can tell what car you drive etc.

As a regular at Rhodes Park I will admit that every time I visit I break the law, but I am always…read moresure to follow another law. Hypocritical? Maybe. Because the park is usually empty, and my dog is generally trained to come on voice command, I always let him off the leash here to play fetch (breaking the law!). However, I always pick up after he does his buisness and I will call you out if you don't pick up after your dog (or offer you a scented poo bag). A new city ordinance imposes a fine if you don't pick up. I love the large trees that provide plenty of shade on hot days. The only reason I don't give this park four stars is because it has so much potential to be better. My guess is that at one point way back when, this park was well landscaped and maintained. The city does a good job of keeping it mowed, but it could be so much more. Maybe one day the three parks on Highland Avenue will get some attention.

Rhodes Park is yet another one of the numerous green spaces to get out and enjoy in the 'ham. The…read morepark is like a big bowl within the Highland Park neighborhood, and there's a big open space on one side that's great for throwing a frisbee around. Parking is pretty easy to find in spaces along the roads circling the park. If you're hungry after all that exertion, then Rojo and the new O'Henry's are just a couple blocks away, and you can sit on one of the patios there and enjoy the view out into Rushton Park.

Veteran's Park in Alabaster is such a great outdoors venue!…read more I use the walking track around the park as often as I can. The park is a large, multi-use area with trails, playgrounds, and a dog park, with amenities like pavilions, restrooms, and concessions. It hosts baseball/softball tournaments, has a skatepark, disc golf, pickleball courts, and a memorial area with inscribed bricks for veterans. The park is ADA accessible and offers activities for all ages, including fishing in its ponds. There's so much here, I haven't yet explored all of it! One drawback is goose droppings around the walking trails so walk/run carefully! Altogether I can bear with all that as long as I get to share the park with the Canadian Geese!
