Father son hang out. He wanted disc golf. Son had a friend tag along that's practically mine…read more The 3 of us discussed disc golf options and opted for Inverness as none of us had played there. It's right off 280 in Inverness a half a mile or so before Valleydale. The course had 2 tee boxes blue and red with the latter being the easier of the 2. There are large nice concrete tee boxes at both the red and blue tees on each hole. This is not a beginners course. It's quite hilly with some very narrow fairways. We all tagged a few trees and went deep into the bush on a couple holes. We played all 18 and very much enjoyed the course. It's well maintained. We discovered old pin placements when were searching for our discs on a few holes. Seems as though they're active in maintaining the trails and course and may mix it up a bit. If you go you could almost leave your distance driver in the car. Not a lot of wide open clear shots or gimme holes. There are some baskets on very steep hillsides, on narrow ridges atop steep drops and lots of potential to get wet. I'm not certain if it's one contiguous stream that runs through the course or a series of creeks. On 16 the basket is 10 ft up a steep hillside from a lake. A very well placed log saved my son from losing a disc. It was new to us but we saw a number of people out there today. One large group parked on the side of the entrance and started on 6. There was ample parking and a few trash bins and benches along the trail. We did have to look around a bit for the next hole a couple times. Some tee boxes especially on the back 9 are nearer the tee box from the prior hole so you have to kind of back track, whereas the front nine is generally a marked path that follow the trail. This was probably the one of best course I've found in the Birmingham metro area. We will be back for sure.

I have driven by this park a ton of times since it opened around 2015 and never even noticed it. It…read moreis set back a decent way from Chaney Thompson Rd. at the base of Green Mountain along Aldridge Creek, two miles from Ditto Landing. Sister and I took Mom for a quick ride through the park last Saturday and it looked really nice from the car! Amenities include: variety of playground equipment for all ages, dog park (I think 2 actually - 1 for large dogs and 1 for small), walking trail, multiple pavilions with picnic tables, disc golf, restrooms (with baby changing stations in all restrooms), archery range, and free little library. There didn't appear to be an abundance of shade but there are, I believe, two covered pavilions. Some complaints I read are the disc golf and dog park areas hold water and get super soggy after it rains and the swings are too high for most children to climb on to on their own. Also, some people noted the playground mulch needs to be replaced. A note of caution I saw is that there is no fence around the playground area so be sure to keep a close eye on the little kiddos. I'm looking forward to going back to this park in the spring!

Fun and clean park with an archery range! Kids loved the play structures. Definitely recommend.read more

This remains the best course I've ever played. It's also the oldest course in existence (it was…read morethe 2nd course built). With the exception of holes 1 and 2 the course weaves its way through towering pines, making it pretty challenging. There's virtually no elevation change, yet the course is spread out enough to make every hole unique. This course is really popular now. Can get pretty crowded around peak hours, but everyone is pretty friendly.

Veteran's Park in Alabaster is such a great outdoors venue!…read more I use the walking track around the park as often as I can. The park is a large, multi-use area with trails, playgrounds, and a dog park, with amenities like pavilions, restrooms, and concessions. It hosts baseball/softball tournaments, has a skatepark, disc golf, pickleball courts, and a memorial area with inscribed bricks for veterans. The park is ADA accessible and offers activities for all ages, including fishing in its ponds. There's so much here, I haven't yet explored all of it! One drawback is goose droppings around the walking trails so walk/run carefully! Altogether I can bear with all that as long as I get to share the park with the Canadian Geese!

The campground offers over 60 sites, plus six cozy cabins. Three of these are rustic stone cabins with two rooms each, while the other three are smaller, single-room cabins. Cabin Six has been beautifully updated with new floors, furniture, appliances, and a modern bathroom. For larger groups, the park also has three group camp cabins--each with 20 bunk beds and spacious bathrooms that include showers, toilets, and sinks. The park is full of history and adventure. Visitors can explore the Pioneer Cabin and its nearby waterfall, or cross the famous swinging bridge--a suspension bridge that stretches 25 feet over Bear Creek. On the other side, you'll find two trails perfect for bouldering, rock climbing, or simply wandering through the forest. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, squirrels, raccoons, and plenty of other critters calling the park home. There are three scenic pavilions for picnics or gatherings. Pavilion One has restrooms nearby, Pavilion Two overlooks Haines Lake, and Pavilion Three also offers a beautiful view of the water. The dining hall is available for weddings, reunions, meetings, and other special events. Fishing enthusiasts will love the three fishing spots: Haines Lake, a quiet pond behind the Pioneer Cabin, and Bear Creek beneath the swinging bridge. For families, the park includes two playgrounds, a sports field, and plenty of picnic tables with cast-iron grills scattered throughout. Outdoor fun continues with three disc golf courses designed for different skill levels. And when it's time to clean up, the campground features two bathhouses that are always kept tidy by the hardworking park staff. Tishomingo State Park is more than just a destination--it's a place where history, nature, and community come together.

What a great place for outdoor activities!…read more Kind of on the edge or Rainbow City, this place has got space for all sorts of sports stuff!! When you first pull in, to the right, there are several soccer fields, to the left a huge parking area. As you go a little further, there are some really nice little league fields - great place to watch a game! As you drive past these fields and get to the back, they have a walking/biking path that circles around a pond and a golf frisbee course (not an easy one either!). The path, if you loop around and take all of the routes comes out about 4 miles (if you add some on the far back side). Really nice what they have done out there. You can kind of be in the thick of things, or you can totally do your own thing with minimal interactions with others that are out there. Really cool space, you can even stop here and do some star gazing on a nice clear night ... if you're so inclined.

Rainbow City has really put a lot into making a nice place for residents to get some exercise…read more Whether walking, running, biking, kids on scooters, you and your friends and family will find a paved, shady trail in a nice woodland setting. Much of the underbrush is cleared out and there is a pond with some pavilions around it. However, especially around back and edges there is more bushes and brush, and you will probably see squirrels, bunnies and unfortunately maybe a snake. A nice disc golf course winds around and throughout as well. In daylight hours I always feel safe here. You will meet plenty of others on the path, but not so many it feels congested. You can choose the main loop or outer loop, and it veers off onto the back side which has a sidewalk for more distance and variety. Total distance: If you go right from the gate, pass the pond, go to the back and turn off to the right and go through the extended back (along a dirt road), over the bridge and right up the sidewalk, cross the road to the continuing sidewalk, go all the way up and around the elementary school, come back and go around the back of the middle school, back to the sidewalk, back to the path by the dirt road. This time go right and go behind the ball practice things, that takes you back up to the front. Now turn left and go on the back side of the main loop and follow back to the gate ... whew! that's 4 miles.
