The open area is frequently used for inflatables, tossing a ball around or just running around. The park is a popular venue for younger children's bday parties, in which you'll usually see an aforementioned inflatables. I've also been to a couple little league parties for t-ball, pee wee football etc... There is a clean nice block his and hers restroom facility onsite, which is nice. The walking trails are well maintained and easily maneuvered. This park is considerably smaller than Joe Tucker (which we frequent) and the immense Veteran's park in Alabaster. However if your little one needs to burn a little energy after school this place will work in a pinch and generally isn't very crowded. The smaller crowds are especially nice if you are attempting to host an event such as a young child's birthday party.

I like this park. It has an open track where people can walk or run. My kids run track and we…read morewanted to help them excel so we hired them a coach that can work with them beyond what their clubs do. Their coach had us meet him here. While at this park with the kids, I found a perfect spot to roller skate. It's a win win situation for me. The kids get their specialized track training and I get in a good roller skating session. While I was at the park, I noticed people using the baseball field and batting cage to practice. This park has a nice walking trail and a playground. Whenever we have gone, there haven't been too many people there so that's nice. Of course, I'll be back!

I came here for the 2019 Shelby County band showcase. When I arrived, it was already extremely…read morecrowded but I didn't have any trouble parking. The parking lot attendees were helpful in directing me on where to park and how to get into the stadium. I had been to this park 4 years ago for a walk but never to an event of this nature.

I have many friends who love to walk their dog at the park or bring them to be social with other dogs. Not to mention the park lights up at night to illuminate the walking track for those who want to enjoy the later evening. The park has a multitude of tournaments or trainings they do. There is soccer, Street hockey, tennis, pickleball, volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball, you practically name it. This park is one of my favorite places to go and enjoy the weather. Days like this where its sunny with a crisp breeze just creates pure bliss. Would definitely recommend the park to enjoy to other friends.

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.

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!
