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.

The Fultondale Children's Park is a great spot for families! The large grounds features a fenced in…read moreplayground and pavilion area as well as a grassy area with swings and statues of animals. Restrooms and additional picnic tables are available as well, but make sure you have a permit before having a party at the tables (call 205-281-7950 for permits) and note you are NOT allowed to have birthday parties under the pavilion per city ordinances. The Children's Park is located across the parking lot from the Fultondale Bark Park and you can also reach the Rails to Trails, 3.4 mile, running path from the park (note, it's a 3 mile trail if you start from The Children's Park and run left, take the path on the right and you're .4 miles from Black Creek Park). If you're looking to lengthen your run, the park itself has a gravel trail that runs the perimeters. If you take the path surrounding the park, you'll also meet up with Black Creek, there are a handful of benches to lounge on as your enjoy the sound of running water. This park has plenty of open spaces if you're looking to run around, lots of trees and plenty of parking. Two things to note: the front gate of the playground is regularly broken, so much so that it will not open enough to get a stroller or wheel chair through. There are two side gates you can use. Also, the park shoulders Stouts Road, which can have very high traffic, and only has a farm fence stopping children from running into the street. Definitely use caution if you have wandering little ones. Otherwise, look for the statues of the giraffe, fish, elephant, hippo and more and have a great time!

Great parking and a perfect venue for a concert in the park or a festival. The park's cobbled path need some work for strollers or disabled people to travel easily. There is a community garden as well as park benches. The tree lined park is comfortable for hot Summer days and picnic dates in the park. I really like this park for a soccer game, kickball or tossing a frisbee. Fenced in playgrounds, filled with sawdust or tree shavings are great for smaller kids. No worries for the children falling of the swings or other playground equipment. I would visit this park more often if I lived in the area.

The park itself is like a bowl, so you're below the sidewalk that encircles it. This creates a little microclimate which is cooler on hot Alabama days. Lots of people set up hammocks here, slacklines, and picnic blankets. There's a few benches and picnic tables, too. There's also a little half-court basketball net! I've been meaning to get a ball so I can run some pick-up H.O.R.S.E. My pup and I hang out here often, there's a group of us little small dog owners that often take up one of the "no pets allowed," fenced-in playgrounds to let the dogs run around. I hope we aren't bothering you, human-parents. Rushton also has a community garden run by the Highland Park neighborhood association. It's in full swing now. No picking others' veggies, though! You can enter to get a box through a lottery system by the HOA. They select different people each year.

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.

They could do more…read morethough .. new signage , fix the benches, more bathrooms (yeah I know they will eventually) But it will not b any time soon . The way they haven't did anything to the stage for 2 months now. They haven't even started ..So now This is what you see while they are putting in the stage lol. Whenever they start lol. Don't get in a hurry okay . That will be used realistically in how many months of the year? We were told only the gravel road would b closed but this is what you see now. So ridiculous! You guys are absurd!! You are going overboard with the fencing and I was appalled. Alabaster do better!!!!!!!!

I travel to Alabama quite frequently for business and I have to say that it is my humble opinion…read morethat the great state of Alabama has the best parks in the southeastern United States. Black Creek Park is another great park in the state of Alabama. Black Creek Park has a couple of baseball fields, a few pavilions (that also have ceiling fans), a nice walking path, adequate parking and more. I came here for a walk after dinner and I truly enjoyed my time at Black Creek Park. If you are in the area, go check it out.

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.

There is plenty of seating and areas to just get away amongst a crowd. There is also a fitness area that shows you how to use your own body weight to get in shape, no need for a gym membership.
