Right away, I'm already engineering ideas and solutions in my mind to make this place more worth your time. Because it's an anthropologist's dream come true. A real ghost town. Legit eery looking stuff. But unless you are watching Nick Cage track down the treasure 'round here you are faced with too many things that frustrate your experience. It's not worth the drive. I get that Alabama's first state capital was carved out of the wilderness. BUT now that it's a present day state park they could do a better job carving out the roadways and walking paths. With map in hand, I drove halfway down to see several sites but the road was just too littered with big branches and rocks and who knows what else. Did a storm just blow through here? Unless you roll in with your 350 this road just doesn't work for visitors to pass through. I'm bummed that I had to turn around and miss more creepy stuff. Fix that. You have to stay off the grass. And there's so much of it. Is there a way to manage it a little bit? Well.. Ecologists celebrate ....because yes of course I stayed off the grass. But now how am I supposed to approach and see the speck of an image that is advertised. Bring binoculars. Don't harm the environment..but I wish there was some sort of path to see the old church (the one you CAN'T really see) and industrial towers (the ones that are the size of your thumb). Come here during halloween, folks. Shivering right now. When it gets into your head..it can be real creepy. Oh, and bring cash. Unless you carry checks any more the entrance fee is cash-only.

Wow! So glad that I found this place! I came here with my boyfriend and I am so glad that I did…read more This place is super creepy! So awesome though! We got here a little late due to the distance that we did not realize we had to drive. Make sure you allot yourself at least two hours to roam the quarters if you are an inquisitive bunch like we are! There is a lot to see and you have to drive around in order to get to each spot. The houses that have been preserved are so cool to look at! We spent a significant amount of time viewing each home and seeing how they were built while reading the placards outside of each point. Note: The lake behind or in between the park is really beautiful. Don't miss it! Tip: get here well before dark because when it gets dark, IT GETS PITCH DARK! Even our headlights were not as helpful as they could've been had we not been in those thick woods so late. Would I recommend? Absolutely! I already have. Will I be back? I plan to! I didn't get to see everything.

What it does not have is a bathroom, and the large building that is part of the park is fenced off and under construction. The park is not very well maintained and in dire need of TLC. They just recently added the butterfly playground in 2017, so it is pretty much modern equipment and has swings, a few slides, and tetter-totters. It is accessible, but not very big. One of my complaints about the park is that some of the benches look right into some heavy brush and does not have much of a view. I was tettering between a 3 and 4 rating. Howver, the view of the bridge and the history of the park pushed me to a 4. The park has ample parking up top on the street overlooking the park. I hope the city is able to reinvest in this park and bring it back to life. It is a very quiet and peaceful park. I enjoyed the time that I spent there and

It's open to the public. Plus, the best part is for parents, it's a fenced area so kids won't wander off to streets or areas they shouldn't be in. It's in a historical neighborhood of Montgomery and there are several local independent businesses nearby like Cafe Louisa, Tomatinos, El Rey, Leroys, etc. Grab a nice lunch from there and enjoy a beautiful day here. The only downside is that, there are no public restrooms but I am not sure if the church has them or not. Thus, one star deduction for now but a totally safe place for kids to explore.

The whole park is literally over run with geese! My daughter could not even go to the playground because it smelled awful and there probably wasn't a single inch of ground that wasn't pooped on. The playground equipment is very old on top of that and was a nasty wet mess. The lake water is the nastiest I have ever seen. I got in it once and immediately regretted it and went to take a hot shower. My daughter (who is 2) accidentally swallowed some of the water while swimming and ended up throwing up multiple times the next day. On top of all this, the bathhouses are FILTHY, in the women's side there were used razors, wads of hair, mold, an awful smell, and toilets that were unusable! My Dad and Husband said the men's toilets were the same way on the men's side. Also, we found many many hooks just laying on the ground. We also found old lures with fishing line everywhere just waiting for someome to step on them! (A goose we saw actually had a hook and line in its mouth!) This place needs a major cleanup. We will never be back and wish someone would have warned us before we wasted a camping trip here.
