The shop we visited last time was no longer in business, but a Yelp search turned up VeloCity, and I am very glad it did. I am an avid cyclist of many decades, so I appreciate a good cycle shop, and VC did not disappoint. From the retro-industrial brick and nice hardwood floors, to the airy spaciousness [so many bicycle shops feel crammed in], VC felt welcoming from the start. Excellent air conditioning on a typical August day in Tuscaloosa did not hurt. Stock was a bit low; staff advised that COVID had caused an increase in sales, so I am glad we were an early campus arrival. My daughter settled quickly on a purple Specialized, and she was out taking turns in the parking lot in very short order. No pushy selling, just good decision-making support. We also selected accessories, and within a few minutes, the back rack, water bottle bracket, and lock mount were installed, and we were ready to go. Nice people, skilled at what they do, helpful and never condescending. Great combination. Sweet little puppy was a plus. P.S. Don't forget to register your new ride with UA. The folks at VC said that sticker is as much a theft deterrent as any lock. It's easy to do, and this way, campus police and your insurance company have a ready record, description, photo, and serial number of the bicycle.

I was able to test ride the bikes, the shop is in a great location for that. I came back the following day and rode 2 bikes before making my decision. They were able to do a couple adjustments to make it more comfortable for me. Overall a great shopping experience. I would highly recommend this shop.

I've been here with people, by myself, and everything. I really recommend going to picnic here cause it's nice and relaxing. Plenty of dogs here too. This path also leads to the river market on Saturdays. There's also some food places along the trail as well. Just a nice little area. Overall: 10/10 would recommend for hanging out, walking, picnic dates, etc

Nice bathrooms which for a busy Saturday was pretty well maintained and clean. Love the bench swings- sweet for 2 but big enough for a family of 4. Swings could be raised a little higher so feet don't drag. The piece de la resistance!!!!! The huge slide with the ropes to climb up on "designed for 5-12. 5 May be a bit young but it's nice to have a challenge for older kids (of all ages). There are so many plastic playscapes around the country that are "designed" for 5-12 whet a 9 year old won't be caught seen by their friends in it because it's a "baby thing". This was refreshing to see! Plus for so long our kids have been bubble wrapped and told to be careful we have decades of millions of wimps around. So nice to have a challenge! Good for development physically and mentally! Thank you TUSCALOOSA! Question... when and how do you access the parking lots. They were closed off which initially led me to believe it was a private park.

The lake was huge and has boat ramps. We saw some locals fishing on the lake. There are also plenty of trails available for hiking and mountain biking. We only had time to explore one of the trails in the woods and were lucky enough to see so many wild lives such as deer, armadillos and fireflies! I would be here daily if I live in Meridian.

There are also miles of trails / mountain bike trails in the woods surrounding the water that is decently maintained and marked. The trails remind me of a Lone Star Trail or Huntsville State Park and are easy enough for a family to walk through but interesting enough to mountain bike or trail run through. It smells like the piney woods and still feels wild enough inside the forest to make it fun and interesting. We saw a bunch of wildlife; deer, armadillos, fireflies, etc on the hike and did not get to explore all of it. There's also boat launches and easy and free public parking. A great spot if you're ever in Meridian or if you live here, you better be here 5 times a week.

A lot of the walking trails have been cleaned up, and of course it's always a great place to exercise. If your looking for a great place to do a little photography, the sunsets here are stunning. There are a lot of events that take place in the park, but the most popular one is then Native American festival. It takes place every year, and there is always something fun to do when it's happening. Keep in mind it's a small park dedicated to the history of the Moundville Indians. If you are looking for rides and water parks, you have come to the wrong place. This park is all about the natural beauty.
