Benches and picnic tables throughout, some with BBQ pits. A blue building with rainbow painted doors directly in front of the parking lot. Signs advertising free meals for kids & movies in the park directly in front of the blue building. My family, dog, and I enjoyed this park, only issue was someone's dog was running loose no leash or owner, dog appears to live directly across the street from the park. Dog was not vicious, but I had to holler at it to make sure it stayed away from us and my dog. I notice a lot of loose dogs running about near parks here in Mobile, so this is not the first time I have encountered that at a local park. Just be cautious if you are there with pets or children.

It is basically a small, community park. There is a shady covered area with metal picnic tables, looks like a cool place to play cards or have a birthday party. Pretty clean, no trash strewn about. Very limited parking, only space for maybe four vehicles at the entrance on Windsor street, you can also park on the other side of the park, next block over on Greenwood Street. Otherwise, you may have to park in the neighborhood in front of people's homes.

They have a covered pavillion where you can have a picnic but no BBQ grills. They have trashcans for you and even have unlocked restrooms for you to use. Theres a sink to use to wash off dishes and they even have water fountains. Theres a basketball court also with 2 nets and theres 2 balls for you to use.

Theres plenty of grass to run around and they have benches all around the park to sit on and it offers plenty of natural shade from the huge trees.

There is a drinking fountain. No parking lot, but there is a gravel vehicle access road that leads near the creek if you want to fish, or you could park on the residential streets surrounding the park. This park is wooded, a little swampy & marshy near the creek in the rear. Two large grassy areas for baseball or soccer, however, both were muddy because of summer storm season. My dog liked the park. Would be nice if this park had restrooms or a port-a-potty. FYI, there is a burned, abandoned, condemned house directly next to the park. Part of the park extends in the back behind three or four homes, it is a wooded area, but the clearing was a little muddy. If you are in that area, no one can see you there from the road.
