Pulling into this park, you could easily mistake it for an office building. There's a little strip…read moreof grass to the left and what appears to be a commercial office building to the right. But once you get beyond that it opens up into a very enjoyable park. There are baseball fields, a swimming pool with an amazing looking slide, and plenty of recreation area. This park serves this community well and I would recommend a visit here.

Finally had a chance to visit historic Rickwood Field. What a priceless step back in time and…read morehistory. The park has the feel of a smaller Fenway Park when you visit. The park has a museum and mementos that display historical images and artifacts of when the Barons and Black Barons played here including Willie Mays. Seeing the old souvenir booth, gates, refreshment stand, etc was a walk back in time. If you are a baseball fan or just a history fan you need to visit Rickwood Field if you have the chance.

Rickwood Field is rich with history and culture, especially as it relates to Black baseball…read moreathletes. As the oldest professional baseball park in the U.S., it was once home to the Birmingham Black Barons, where legends like Willie Mays played. If you're a local and haven't visited yet, it's a must-see. And if you're coming from out of town, definitely add it to your itinerary--come learn and experience this iconic piece of baseball history!

My fiancée and I went to the Alabama versus North Dakota State baseball game on March 2nd. She…read moreattended and graduated from the University of Alabama in 2019 and I like to take her to different sporting events; just so she can come back to her old stomping grounds. We had a really good time watching this baseball game; even though I refuse to go for Alabama. Food prices were higher than that of an Alabama football game and the atmosphere just wasn't there. Overall, it was fun to experience our first college baseball game! :) can't beat $1 tickets behind third base!

Been an Alabama fan all my life. Had a blast at Sewell Thomas stadium for the first time. Although…read moreI was let down when the security guard was extremely rude and disrespectful to my son. A player had hit a ball a little past us and my son jogged over there to see if they would toss it up to him and the security guard immediately got disrespectful with my son. We continued to watch the game when my son walked over there to see if the player warming up the outfielder would toss it up and the security guard again proceeded to get nasty and rude with my son and talked to him like he was poop on the bottom of someone's shoe and then proceeded to say something again as my son was walking away and almost back to our seat. This is very disappointing. Roll tide

We attended my five-year-old grandson's soccer game here yesterday. The park itself is nice and…read morewell suited to children his age, 5-6 years old. There were a ton of children playing soccer on this lovely Sunday and it was fun to watch! Our little man scored at least 3 goals and the coaches were friendly, organized and excellent at encouraging the little ones! Unlike the soccer fields off of Columbiana Road, this park did not have food truck/s or restrooms and using a porta potty with a latch that doesn't work is not among my favorite things. Still, this is a great park, convenient to my stepdaughter's house with an excellent set up for her children's soccer games!

Summer it was nice and warm, winter they had to put up a bubble over the pool .... and needless to say it got a bit chilly to say the least. Pool area was always clean and they do a great job of actual pool maintenance. There are areas for walking as well as plenty of ball fields. There can be a ton of people here pending the time of year and what sports are currently active. Also, there is a really nice playground area for the kids. All in all this is about as nice of a park as you will find in any city area. They truly support sports related to the school systems locally. All in all just a great location. Worth checking out if you find yourself in the area sometime.

We really don't get out here too often, but when we do it's primarily to play tennis…read more They have 4 or 5 full size tennis courts that are rarely being used. I'm guessing that there is a school (or two) that used them, we just don't ever happen to be here at the same time. Court conditions are really nice and probably the best in the area. Courts are also kept really clean, not sure if it's the people that are using them that make sure to clean up after themselves or if they have a crew that does upkeep. But really nice to come here and not have to pick up trash after others. There are also some baseball fields and some outdoor batting cages (intended for fast pitch). Plenty of parking and very rarely more than a few people here at any time (maybe on weekend if there is a baseball tournament?).

Also, baseball field is kind of uncommon pick for wedding venue! Overall it was a great experience. There were at least a couple hundred guests, but we had the whole place to ourselves - pretty much the entire day. It was a great celebration with the ceremony being a mixed Indian/Christian wedding! The venue itself was big enough to accommodate some special requests. The ceremony started with the groom riding a horse. Then he switched the back of pickup truck that was blasting music. Everything else was inside, but the night finished with fireworks! I heard that the 'before' pictures were actually taken on the field itself. All of this was within the venue, so that was really nice as a guest.

It's great because the accessible swings are located right next to a specific area of accessible parking. There are several picnic tables under a steel awning which would be great for family picnics. There is about a .6 mile loop that's easy for any level of leisure walking or running. Also on the property is a storm shelter, which in Alabama, you definitely need! Plenty of parking too!
