This is a classic neighborhood pool with a family feel. You won't find the weekend warriors with a beer taking a dip a Shades Cliff. In fact, if I don't take the kids, I feel a bit out of place. Everything you would expect is offered here; swim and dive classes, water aerobics, a grilling area, adult swim, a baby pool, competent life guards, vending machines, etc... If there were any draw back, it would be the guest policies. I'm sure they are par for the course, I just wish a grandparent didn't have to pay when taking a member child. Lord knows, the kids could go more often if that were the case.

A small family run amusement park how can you go wrong?…read more This park was awesome as it really does have something for everyone to have a fun filled day either in the sun or in the pool! So they have a a handful of flat rides as well as 3 roller coasters with one for the little ones one for those in the middle and then one for the extreme with their star attraction Rampage! They also have a very good sized Waterpark with tons of slides a lazy river and a wave pool with all this your sure to stay cool on your adventure all day! Their employee Alex was beyond awesome and accommodating to me as he was kind enough to take me on a backstage tour as well as a lift hill climb up Rampage which was beyond cool as well as beautiful not only from the coaster standpoint it from just where in this beautiful country the park is located with stunning views of hills and trees you can't go wrong! They do sell their tickets online for a discount so definitely check on that as it will save you some money but more importantly if you live local just buy a season pass as your gonna wanna come here more than once! They offer FREE drinks and parking which is super cool as it gets hot here so it's a great way to stay hydrated on those forever summer days! Overall this really is an amazing park that I can't wait to come back to at some point because it's totally a vibe and a fun one at that!

This is an observation review. Not a critical review:…read more We took our grandkids to the park yesterday. There is a vast difference in the way it looks now vs when "The General" was in attendance. It is still a family oriented business with modesty and behaviors of the customers being excellent and we still love it, but the park is very run down. 1. Restrooms need a good pressure wash, paint job and toilet paper. 2. In all fairness, it has rained almost every day this summer but the entire park needs a good cleaning. The chairs were moldy, there were slick spots on the concrete where it needs a good bleach or pressure wash as well as the lunch tables were filthy. Thankfully there was a spray bottle and towel by them which means I could clean before my kiddos could sit down. 3. I'm sure they were tired and ready to not be working (especially since we are in a heat wave), but the employees were not friendly, or took far too much time to load 5-6 people, and some were not at their post for a lot of the carnival rides. The guy at the Cheddar Cheese ride was friendly and quick. We did note that we didn't see anyone over the age of 20ish working. Adults could have been behind the scenes, but It definitely needs adult supervision among the younger employees. 4. A lot of the Alabama Adventure side wasn't working. We had to leave the tilt a whirl because it would not turn on after we loaded. Rampage was not open until much later in the day. Drop Zone only had two seats open. YoYo had a lot of seats closed. Only one car running at Cheddar Cheese. 5. The lines at Splash Adventure were fairly short, but the wait was long. Standing in the sun for half an hour was unbearable due to employees not being engaged. 6. The tubes for The Lazy River were about 5:1 on a not so busy day. You definitely need a float device because the current is fairly quick. 7. The wave pool was not waving, just a pool. 8. Almost all of the shops on Main Street are empty.

It's well-lit and it has been easy to find parking. Today, I walked around the facility and it's nice. It reminds of the Parks & Recreation facility in Hoover. It's clean and seems well maintained. From my visits, it seems worthy of a 5 star rating.

My daughter can enjoy the kiddie pool without me worrying. It only goes to about maybe 2ft and has a slide and mushroom spout she can run under. I observed at the 2nd pool it has a ramp so it is wheelchair accessible. The 3rd pool has a diving board and is much deeper. There is a concession stand where you can purchase all types of food and goodies. The lifeguards are very friendly. If you are a Homewood resident you can join for a small fee and have access to all the Homewood Parks and facilities.

In reality it probably isn't a 5 star, and maybe more worthy of a 4 star. But, for a small (really,…read morevery small) park it has quite a bit going for it. The running/walking track is approx 1/8 of a mile. So it doesn't take too many laps to start logging some miles/steps on your activity tracker. There is a small area for kids to play while adults can do their thing .... everything is open and visible. It isn't high traffic so it feels very safe. If you are a little more adventurous, on the back side of the park, there is a path that actually leads across to the school. There are a couple bridges that cross over Buck Creek and seem to be the perfect stopping spot for most people getting their pooches out to let them stretch their legs as well. Typically not many people, but on a nice weekend morning you may cross paths with 12 - 15 people if you spend an hour or so here. All in all a pretty nice little park. If you want to get out and enjoy the outdoors with a pretty casual environment (not hilly at all), this is a good place to check out.

That's the nostalgia here. It's apparent that this park is older, but we loved the character and charm it brought. There were many older signs, even older walkways not in use, but the scenery and birdwatching was beautiful. The kids stations dotting the trail, of times past, were fun to look at and even interact with. The creek was clean and had a trash filtering system in place. The trail was clean as well and mostly gravel/rock. Our favorite part was the creek's dam and manmade falls from it, and just when we are about to turn around we found it. Note that this is not a loop trail, but in and back out. We covered about 2/3 of it before turning around (sorry, it was Sunday off the cuff and we had dress shoes, did not pack our hiking shoes/boots). Only one mile, so 2 miles roundtrip! Flat and easy.
