    Love the Central Fountain! This historical square in the middle of downtown Mobile is a peaceful Oasis of green. The paths are shady and lead in and around to the central fountain under the shady oaks. I saw quite a few locals gathered near sunset enjoying nature. If I worked in downtown this pretty park would be my lunchtime picnic spot!

    This gorgeous park in downtown Mobile is shaded by massive 165 year old live oaks. The park was created in 1850, and named after the founder of Mobile and Governor of French Louisiana, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville. In the center of the park sits a three tier cast iron fountain surrounded by park benches. On the side of the park facing Dauphin Street, you'll notice a large St. Andrew's cross erected in 1906, also in honor of Sieur de Bienville. The park is definitely one of the most beautiful areas of Mobile. You can relax under the oaks and appreciate the architecture of the 1800's on Dauphin, and also the architecture of the 2000's with the RSA towers towering above the other buildings. This park is a great place for a picnic or just to sit and read a book or Kindle. They actually have free public wifi. Bienville Square is also host to many local events such as music festivals, the annual lighting of the trees, not to mention, it's a great place for revelers to enjoy Mardi Gras parades. Any time we spend the day in downtown Mobile, a walk through Bienville Square is a must. It's a local treasure.

    Beautiful Square in downtown Mobile. My girls enjoyed feeding the squirrels here. There are also nice tables and benches all around the fountain to sit and relax that. I am impressed with how little trash there is, if any, it is very clean.

    Beautiful sunshining day

    This is a great public space with the amenities fitting of its name. If you have littles, then just…read moreknow it is an outstanding, safe play area that fosters inclusion and welcomes all. There are walking trails that go through the woods, an off-leash dog area, and multiple mixed-use sportsball/athletic fields. On hot days, the splash pad area is the place to be, making for a safe space for kids and families to cool off and enjoy the sun. The frisbee disc golf course is one of the real hooks to the park, nicely laid out and maintained, and providing differing levels of challenge. Public restrooms are all around, the playground and splash pad area have soft landing spots, and it is generally well lit and safe all through the park. There are even several canopy areas with tables, allowing for picnics or other gathering use and mostly just to get out of the Alabama sun. Get out and enjoy the greenspace, Mobile, it's a beautiful place.

    This park is very popular and in a good area of town. This park includes a playground, restrooms, a…read moresplash pad, dog park, tennis courts, disc golf, amphitheater, baseball diamonds, soccer field, football field, paved walking paths, and unpaved walking trails in the woods. There is a small gymnasium for gymnastics in the MAWSS water tower. Parking is decent, but I have never visited on game days. ALOT of people walking and running. Park is open from dawn to dusk like all other parks in Mobile. The playground is the best of all the parks in my opinion. It is fairly busy, but not so much that would make you visit elsewhere.

    Langan Park (Municipal Park), is a 720-acre park in Mobile, Alabama, where Springhill Ave. ends and…read moreZeigler Blvd. Begins. The park offers numerous recreational activities, such as disc golf, playgrounds, picnic areas, and walking trails. It encompasses the Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile Botanical Gardens, and Playhouse in the Park. In addition, the park features tennis courts (the Mobile Tennis Center), and athletic fields for baseball and softball. Langan Park is also a popular spot for outdoor concerts and family outings. Many of the trees are labeled by genus and species. Plus, there is a large body of water that harbors the natural habitat for many birds, insects and other aquatic life. The 2.5 mile diameter sidewalk in the park is perfect for walking or running; though, It is not good for rollerskating in-line skating or skateboarding. Mostly because the mandatory crevices in the sidewalk are too wide (in some places) for the small wheels to navigate them safely. Seemingly, The maintenance crew does not keep the sidewalk very clear from debris. This could seriously injure a skateboarder or roller skater. It (a nasty fall from debris on the sidewalk) has happened to me twice already in the last six months. Minus 1 star for maintenance. Otherwise I completely enjoy walking in the park

This park has a lot. Always clean, litter free, pet friendly, great for kids, families, couples, etc. Tons of wildlife: ducks, geese, fish, turtles, rabbits, squirrels, an occasional alligator sighting in the lake areas (warm weather usually). Every time I come here, I always find something cool or new that keeps me coming back. Safe, there is a police station and military reserve located in the park near the museum. Directly across Ziegler Blvd from Mobile Japanese Gardens.
