I love this park. It's one of my favorite places in the whole world. Let me tell you why it's so…read moregreat... I prefer it over the Tuscaloosa River Walk for several reasons. 1. It's not commercialized. (And I hope it never is...that's why it's so great.) In fact, there are only a few businesses along the trail, unlike across the river. 2. The path is paved and marked by quarter mile markers for 2 miles. The markers give you motivation to make it to the next one! 3. It's not as crowded! 4. People usually come to this walking path to EXERCISE. You find the majority is avidly walking, running, jogging, or you have the occasional biker. I've even seen a few people on rollerblades. I find the Tuscaloosa side is more leisurely (which is okay), but the trails there tend to be busier because of it. 5. I love it so much, my husband and I got married here right under the train trestle! 6. This park helped get me into running! The park is clean and well maintained. There is ample parking located throughout the walking path. I always feel safe running here. It has wonderful scenery from the river, riverbanks, train trestle, wildflowers, and the occasional wild life! I often see turtles basking in the sun along the banks.

She was able to get on the 7th floor of her dorm, with a view of this park and river from her bed. Pretty damn cool. The park itself has a long walking trail with tones of shade and lots to see along the way. There are observation decks, river winning inlets, boat ramps, an area for the Alabama Row Team to launch from. There is a cool statue of Minerva in the middle of the park. Here is some info as to why: Who is she? Minerva, a Roman goddess with an entire laundry list of characteristics, including wisdom, law, justice, victory, strategy and arts. The owl, also symbolizing wisdom, is often depicted as her companion. But why is she here, on the University of Alabama campus? "The statue is Minerva, the Roman Goddess of wisdom, who also adorns the University's institutional seal," said UA President Stuart R. Bell. "She is a notable reminder of UA's commitment to serving others and how we are all one community with a shared vision of impacting the world through teaching, research and service." On the UA seal, Minerva is depicted wearing attire proper for a more ancient time - a long, flowing gown. They have done a great job keeping it natural while providing some amenities. We will be back again and again over the next 4-9 years, however long it takes the kiddo to move on from UA. '25 - 89/111

In the evening hours with the sun setting, it was a nice walk and I wasn't the only one to notice that. The walkways are (leashed) dog friendly and several families were out and about. There was a couple sitting on a blanked having a picnic as well as some weird looking photo shoot in a bubble. There is limited parking at the eastern end and I lucked out with a space. You might do better to park at the amphitheater and make the walk. There are no other active facilities here. I did not spot a playground or restrooms.

I will say the bathrooms and table areas as well as the courses were super clean but the price is pretty steep for what you get. Like everyone else said, the courses are pretty much identical and yes you get unlimited play but who wants to go through again? it's a pretty small area. Also the fact that there's barely any shade anywhere is insane to me. My biggest complaint was the food and the happy hour. We got nachos and we asked for sour cream on the side. It was literally liquid. Like a cup of milk I'm not exaggerating. I went back down to explain and ask for a different one and was met with blank stares and no words. She just walked off then brought back an identical cup of liquid cream.... Again no words. It would have been fine if she had said "it looks like this one is pretty liquidy as well. Sorry about that not sure what's going on with the sour cream" or "actually our sour cream is more like a crema". Instead I just had to wait to be brought back the exact same consistency of sour cream. Just very weird. Mind you we are the only ones there eating at this time. There are maybe two other couples playing on the course so it's not like it was busy. We went on a Tuesday afternoon. As we played, on the screen they advertised a happy hour Mondays-Thursday 3:00-6:00. It was Tuesday at 3:05. We tried to order said happy hour just to be met yet again with blank stares and then after they went to the back then came back to the front, we were told that's not available at college town locations .... Okay that's fine but why would it be advertised here at this location?? Was it enjoyable? Yes but mostly because of the company. Do I think it's worth the price? During the day I'd say no.

I could not imagine ever having the wedding anywhere else. I was so pleased with the service and it made life really easy to have everything in one place.

We had such a good time we didn't realize that we were already back to the dock at the end of the night. Highly recommend this location for a wedding and bonus you can keep your wedding small to medium size so you can invite the folks that mean the most to you. Thanks, Craig!! You are the best!

We dashed through the pouring rain and down to the river from the Indigo and got on board. Captain Dobson was very welcoming. Made us a drink and talked to us for a long time about the Belle and the history of the town and the state of Alabama. He stayed an extra half hour chatting with us. Great guy.

This is during Covid, so we walk up to a quiet place and there are two people working, or at least there on behalf of the owners and management. The space is nice enough though they don't have a concession bar or anything like the others I have been to. My big issue was the two people working. We were walk ins but two others came in after us with reservations. The woman employee was only on her phone the whole time sitting up front. The guy told the other party and us to fill out some waivers on line. Right as we finished he got on his phone and started watching MMA fights. Then he took all of us over to a cage to show the other party how to throw. He didn't talk through any safety rules and didn't explain well how to throw. He told everyone to throw two handed and to do this with several steps forward. He also told people to snap their wrists at release. All of these items are contrary to every other place I've thrown axes (5 places in 3 cities.) Meanwhile, each cage has one or two axes. This is also paltry. Usually ace throwing places have four or five axes for you to choose from. Each has a different weight/length so that you can find the one that fits you best. Like in bowling, everyone doesn't use the same ball!!! Ultimately we decided the place was too unprofessional. The woman was still on her phone and the guy was not even explaining the rules for safety or for any game. As we walked out the two couples at the front on different boards were both drinking beer and mixed drinks they brought in themselves and were doing stupid things like throwing the axes underhand and over their shoulders so the axes were bouncing all around. The woman employee was just on her phone and the guy was talking with two customers in the back. Management has a real issue. Waiver or not, the employees were not supervising customers. If someone got hurt, the axe place should be liable if they haven't provided appropriate training or supervision. Moreover, is it legal to bring mixed drinks and beer to an axe throwing place? How does the insurance for the facility feel about this? Management: this happened 26 July 2020 at 9:00 PM The guy was doing everything but I don't think he really knew much. He would tr
