There's multiple dog parks to accommodate breed size, age or dogs with disabilities. The bathrooms looked newly built and there's also security cameras which made it feel a bit more safe/monitored. Highly recommend this to any travelers with pets.

Also the water seems to be shut off now, likely because of pipes possibly freezing, so bring water with you for your furry buddy. We had a great time going hiking in the park. We will definitely be doing so again. My boy was absolutely worn out from climbing up and down the trails (on a leash). It was good exercise for me as well.

This is a beautiful park in downtown Birmingham. I've been to several events here-concerts,…read morefestivals, nonprofit walks, and just for my walking pleasure. Years ago, I brought my students here on a field trip. There are healthy eating classes and workout classes offered in the warmer months. Check their FB page or website for exact times and dates. One of the coolest parts of this park is watching the trains go by. It's not called Railroad Park for no reason, lol. Parking can be tricky when there's an event being held here. But that's no fault of the park itself. There's nothing like a peaceful walk in the park and this park is the perfect place to do just that. Come visit!

I love walking in this park. Free parking on the weekend. Beautiful park, highly recommendread more

I don't live in Moody, but I've been to this cute splash pad a couple times with friends who do!…read more One of the first things I noticed was that the entire area is enclosed by a metal fence, which I totally appreciated! No worrying that small children could wander away! There is a brick building which houses the ticket office, bathrooms, and encloses a Few picnic tables. There are also several large pavilions that can be rented for parties, as well as tables with umbrellas scattered around the perimeter. The splash pad itself it great! Lots of water spraying contraptions and a slide that all the kids love. There were several lifeguards patrolling the area and they seemed really focused on the kids, which was awesome. All in all, worth the drive and definitely a place we will be spending more time at this summer!

This is a cute little park located in the city of Irondale. The city hosts several events here in…read morethe summer, including family friendly movie nights and an annual free music concert. It has a huge field for picnics, dog walks or kids playing, two playground areas and two covered pavilions. The restrooms were locked on this visit. Hopefully the city will also fix the water fountain that isn't operable when we visited. Overall, it's a nice park to visit. Just use the restroom before going and take your own water.

Beacon Park is a small park located just passed a shopping plaza. There's a small driveway that…read moreleads up the hill and it comes into a small park. There is not much to this park. There is a small walking strip that basically walks around in a circle I'm a field of grass. Along the way there are a few benches and a small gazebo. They also have a small children's playground. Honestly, there is not much to this little place. Maybe if you grab lunch at Gus's Hot Dogs in the shopping plaza next to hear and want to eat outside, you can head over here and sit under the gazebo. Otherwise, I cannot see how else it could be helpful.

A small family run amusement park how can you go wrong?…read more This park was awesome as it really does have something for everyone to have a fun filled day either in the sun or in the pool! So they have a a handful of flat rides as well as 3 roller coasters with one for the little ones one for those in the middle and then one for the extreme with their star attraction Rampage! They also have a very good sized Waterpark with tons of slides a lazy river and a wave pool with all this your sure to stay cool on your adventure all day! Their employee Alex was beyond awesome and accommodating to me as he was kind enough to take me on a backstage tour as well as a lift hill climb up Rampage which was beyond cool as well as beautiful not only from the coaster standpoint it from just where in this beautiful country the park is located with stunning views of hills and trees you can't go wrong! They do sell their tickets online for a discount so definitely check on that as it will save you some money but more importantly if you live local just buy a season pass as your gonna wanna come here more than once! They offer FREE drinks and parking which is super cool as it gets hot here so it's a great way to stay hydrated on those forever summer days! Overall this really is an amazing park that I can't wait to come back to at some point because it's totally a vibe and a fun one at that!

This is an observation review. Not a critical review:…read more We took our grandkids to the park yesterday. There is a vast difference in the way it looks now vs when "The General" was in attendance. It is still a family oriented business with modesty and behaviors of the customers being excellent and we still love it, but the park is very run down. 1. Restrooms need a good pressure wash, paint job and toilet paper. 2. In all fairness, it has rained almost every day this summer but the entire park needs a good cleaning. The chairs were moldy, there were slick spots on the concrete where it needs a good bleach or pressure wash as well as the lunch tables were filthy. Thankfully there was a spray bottle and towel by them which means I could clean before my kiddos could sit down. 3. I'm sure they were tired and ready to not be working (especially since we are in a heat wave), but the employees were not friendly, or took far too much time to load 5-6 people, and some were not at their post for a lot of the carnival rides. The guy at the Cheddar Cheese ride was friendly and quick. We did note that we didn't see anyone over the age of 20ish working. Adults could have been behind the scenes, but It definitely needs adult supervision among the younger employees. 4. A lot of the Alabama Adventure side wasn't working. We had to leave the tilt a whirl because it would not turn on after we loaded. Rampage was not open until much later in the day. Drop Zone only had two seats open. YoYo had a lot of seats closed. Only one car running at Cheddar Cheese. 5. The lines at Splash Adventure were fairly short, but the wait was long. Standing in the sun for half an hour was unbearable due to employees not being engaged. 6. The tubes for The Lazy River were about 5:1 on a not so busy day. You definitely need a float device because the current is fairly quick. 7. The wave pool was not waving, just a pool. 8. Almost all of the shops on Main Street are empty.

Love the idea of a park just for our furry friends!…read more This was my 2nd trip here with my sweet Roxie, with this experience being much better than the last. Roxie was able to run and play, both solo and with the other puppies that were visiting that day. Our last trip here she was annoyed by an aggressive little puppy whose owners actually encouraged his rough play with my terrified little pooch. I guess that's what you have to deal with in dog parks. The small dog area is very grassy, and doesn't have too many areas where mud would be a problem. There are poop bags readily available and a water station for your thirsty pups. There are also benches and sitting areas for humans should you get tired out or just want to sit and watch your doggy socialize, run and play. Great atmosphere for your pooch!
