I've been here with people, by myself, and everything. I really recommend going to picnic here cause it's nice and relaxing. Plenty of dogs here too. This path also leads to the river market on Saturdays. There's also some food places along the trail as well. Just a nice little area. Overall: 10/10 would recommend for hanging out, walking, picnic dates, etc

We've been longtime campers here, and this was our first visit back since the renovations. All we…read morecan say is wow -- what a transformation! The park has gone from feeling like a 1950s campground to a true 21st-century RV destination, complete with all the conveniences you'd expect from a modern RV resort. The improvements are impressive: completely repaved roads, paved and mostly level sites, full hookups with 20/30/50 amp service, water, and sewer at every site. There are also plenty of spacious pull-thru sites that can easily accommodate large RVs and fifth wheels. The upgrades don't stop there. The park now features. WiFi, beautiful new restroom, and bathhouse facilities, along with new picnic tables and pavilions for day use. If you visited in the past and weren't impressed, it's definitely time to come back -- you'll be absolutely blown away by what they've done.

Well at least some things…read moredon't change over the centuries and this place still is exactly the same as it was way back when I first visited it. This is great spot to see some of the pre-Columbian history in mound high glory. You can actually climb on a mound and then inside the museum you can learn a great deal more of the history and what was found inside some of the mounds... hint dead things and treasure. This site also clearly provides evidence of the pre-Columbian trade network that existed between Central America, South America and North America. Tip: Quick and easy tour that is well worth a diversion for the experience to learn and actually see some history that lots of folks today just don't seem to know about. Disclaimer: I might have an advanced degree in Anthropology and even though I have actually met Giorgio A. Tsoukalos of Ancient Aliens fame I can make a pretty strong argument that here in Moundville there definitely were NOT any aliens involved in the construction unless they were highly intoxicated aliens with only stone age tech.

I am so glad that this wonderful park is directly across the street from my kids dorm room and the…read morerec center she uses. 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 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.

The equipment is not cleaned properly, partially due to the minimum wage paid employees, because I wouldn't clean it either with that pay.

I do not want to have dead skin transferred to my hands, especially the germs!!This gym would be a lot better if it was cleaned better!

I have a long and storied history with the UA recreation center. I remember many years ago, when I…read morewas a junior in high-school, seeing it on a tour. I thought it was very nice and could offer a lot. Going into my senior year, after over three years at this establishment, I still agree with those statements with a few caveats. First, three squat racks. Why? There are 40,000 people that go to school here. That is around 1 squat rack for every 13,000 students. That is a horrible ratio. I have waited in line for the squat racks for over 30 minutes before. That is time that I will never get back in my life. Fix it. Second, parking. This one is a little more specific but at the time of writing this review it is the summer. Why did I have to circle the parking lot 6 times to find a parking spot? During the summer, I look forward to the gym being empty. I am busy. I have a lot to do. It's just more wasting time trying to find a spot. A little heads up of the basketball tournament would have been nice. I'm glad that things are being hosted, but there are still patrons of the gym that want to workout. The parking situation isn't any better during the school year. Third, the strict no fun gym hours. Look, the hours here suck. Not just for the weight room, but for everything. The hours on the lap pool just down right don't make sense. There is a common issue with time. Time being wasted. Time = money so therefore money is being wasted. I value my time and this place is taking inconvenient amounts on it not for its primary purpose. Everything is like a YouTube ad. Like yeah you get to workout, but here is a 20 minute inconvenience for you beforehand. The equipment is nice though and it is better than paying for a Crunch membership. 7.5/10
