Do not expect to walk into the park and see a section where mounds of oyster shells are located. You are literally walking on the mounds throughout the trail. You will see the shells on the ground as you go. The sign that we read does not specify exactly what the mounds are, so we were confused at first when we stopped here. My sister stayed in the car with the kids as I walked to look for the mounds. She looked up what the mounds were while I came upon the realization that I was actually walking on them halfway through the trail. It was a little disappointing as that was not what we were expecting, but the vegetation was nice. I can definitely see why this spot would be great for bird watchers. I do wish the park was more maintained as I saw trash along the trails like cans and the wooden benches were not clean. Also, the sign really does need to be more informative on what the park actually is and features. The parking was nonexistent. We were lucky enough to get the small gravel area in front of the entrance, but everyone else would have to park on the road. It's a really nice place to just walk around, look at the different species of plants/birds, and due to the historical context of the mounds you walk on. It's cool to think back to how everything was before and what the indigenous folk were thinking about/doing.

This park has a very small beach, but if you want a larger beach, just walk north to the park on the other side of The Fairhope Municipal Pier, that is Fairhope Municipal Beach, that park has BBQ's near picnic tables, restrooms,and a playground on the beach. This park has benches and tables, trees, a rock area under a oak tree. This park is two levels, an upper and lower, I did not see the upper level, only the bottom level closer to the water. My dog really enjoyed it, I saw other people out very early, walking, exercising, & with their doggies. This is a very clean park, no vagrancy, litter, doggy doo anywhere. Parking is right next to South Beach Park at Fairhope Municipal Pier.

You can visit this park and the other three in a single day because these parks are right next to one another. This park is on a hill, and one part of the park is a small Long Leaf Pine Forest, the other part a park with a memorial, veterans fountain, and benches atop a hill overlooking Mobile Bay. I did see one or two cars parked along the park for free, and I did not see any no parking signs, but I think most people that visit either park at Fairhope Municipal Pier or at Fairhope Municipal Beach at the bottom of the hill. There are no restrooms or playground (s) at this park, it is more devoted to nature, but restrooms, BBQs, and picnic tables are available downhill at Fairhope Municipal Beach. Most of the people I saw at or around the park were walking for exercise or walking thier dogs, like myself. Quiet and beautiful.

The park has lovely restrooms, beautiful lagoon views and, if course, is on the waters edge, sweet! It's also referred to as Little Lagoon Park by many but it,'s officially Mo's Landing. There's two easily accessible boat launches 100'+ piers and plenty parking reserved for vehicles with trailers. Plenty additional parking is available at the head of the park just a couple hundred yards from the water. Kayaks also are a favorite here as Little Lagoon is a popular place for seadoo's, paddle board, etc. Lagoon Park was built on a pair of privately owned sites purchased by the City of Gulf Shores, where a convenience store and private boat launch known as Mo's Landing and RV Park used to be. The park is 1.8 miles west of Highway 59 on Fort Morgan Road (Highway 180).  The restroom deck overlooking the Lagoon provides a good resting point for cyclists, walkers, and joggers on the 5.3 mile paved bike path and walking trail that winds between the trees on the north side of Fort Morgan Road. Two concrete boat ramps, parking for both vehicles and boat trailers, and restrooms are available for public use. In addition to the public boat ramps that provide access for fishing, sports, and recreational boating, the park also provides a fine access point for kayaks and canoes to the north shores of Little Lagoon, which are characterized by single family homes in pine tree sheltered properties with piers and boathouses extending into the shallow waters. Bottom line: This is a very relaxing and scenic spot off the beaten path. No beaches but plenty of edge of water chillaxing. Note: it's pretty busy right now during the Covid-19 situation 4/25/20

You should park there, the dirt road is very muddy because it is wetlands & frequent rain, going down the dirt road is risky with a vehicle, you might get stuck. It is straight wilderness here, the mosquitos are unreal, the repellant I had (OFF) will not keep them away. I wore pants, I read other people's reviews about how bad the vector insects are. I did not do the whole trail because the bugs were biting my dog plus too many damn wild turkeys running around, so if you like hunting those, this is your spot. I might come back once the weather is cooler, too hot, too many mosquitoes.
