This is a nice park that has a lot to offer. It was opened in 2000 and has a neighborhood park feel…read moreto it. I also get a little nature vibe as well. They have two full tennis courts that are decent and a half basketball court that is off to the side of the tennis courts and shares the same fenced in area. There is ample parking here at the park, but I can see how during large events that parking could become scarce. They have two lots; one is located by the tennis courts and other is shared with the Jewish Chabad Center next door. The main section of the park is completely fenced in and has a small picnic shelter with tables under it, a decent paved 2/10 of a mile walking trail, a restroom facility, benches, and a couple of picnic tables. There is a bunch of shade in this area and green space in the center where you could hold a picnic, play catch or relax on. You will also see a borrow a book box and a story trail in the are as well The are also has a playground area that is on a bed of wood chips and has traditional swings, toddler swings, tire swings, a medium sized jungle gym with a slide, A fire truck themed jungle gym with a couple of slides, a merry-go-round, and a jungle gym with monkey bars and rock climbing. The equipment is in decent shape and looked like kids would have a lot of fun here. Because the area is fenced in, it is popular for those with dogs. Even though they have many signs posted to tell you to keep your dogs on a leash, I saw a few people that did not while I was there. This is a very nice park that has a lot to offer. I love the shade that it has. Even though it is located off of a busy road, I still found it peaceful. This place is a diamond in the rough and you should really consider coming here if you are looking for a park to visit.

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. When I came at that time, the park grounds were nice and the walking trail was well designed. The stadium seem really clean and the grounds were well kept. The sound system was nice and clear. All of the bands were great!

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!

There is a small walking strip that basically walks around in a circle I'm a field of grass. Along the way there are a few benches and a small gazebo. They also have a small children's playground. Honestly, there is not much to this little place. Maybe if you grab lunch at Gus's Hot Dogs in the shopping plaza next to hear and want to eat outside, you can head over here and sit under the gazebo. Otherwise, I cannot see how else it could be helpful.
