There were benches to take a break, eat lunch or just enjoy the shade of the beautiful oak trees on a warm summer day. There was a kid splashing around in the fountains so, it seemed that you were allowed to cool off in them. A nice little oasis among the shops, restaurants and downtown area that you can tell the city takes pride in from the beautiful flowers and well kept grassy area. I wish more cities would have such nice spaces to sit and relax like this city does.

We walked through Cathedral Square on our way to check out the Cathedral of the Immaculate…read moreConception. Cathedral Square is a municipal park - It is bordered by the streets of North Claiborne, Dauphin, North Jackson, and Conti. A little history, This space, at one time, was Campo Santo - which was Mobile's Catholic cemetery (18th Century). The area that is now Cathedral Square quickly became a commercial block filled with buildings after the relocation of the cemetery. The buildings were then demolished in 1979 to create a public park facing the Cathedral. The current park and layout have been here for some time now. There were a few people here, as it was starting to warm up quite a bit and it didn't take too long to get pretty hot (really humid). But if you are going to check out the Cathedral - then this is a nice little green space to see it from and get some pretty cool pictures of the Cathedral.

From all directions the walking path led directly to this spot. In between the walking paths were plenty of large shade trees, grassy areas and don't forget squirrels running around every where. It was getting pretty hot, the humidity is apparently kind of brutal in July in Southern Alabama, who knew? So we didn't hang out long, but there is plenty of stuff to do with in walking distance, including shopping and dining. Nice place to hang out with family and friends - throw a frisbee or have a picnic. Check this place out if you happen to find yourself in the City of Mobile.

Not as many trees or squirrels but still a nice place to relax especially when there is music.read more

There are picnic tables and swings, as well as a pier that will give you a peaceful break from your drive or just to enjoy a beautiful sunset or sunny day. There are nature paths and you can make your way over to a little beach area nearby. If the water is high, access might be a little difficult, and yes, you really should watch out for wildlife. The sign says that night fishing is allowed off the pier, so that's cool. I wish I could have explored the area a bit more, but I was very happy to find Bayfront during my stay!
