Nice Community park. The sign out front says Heroes Park, but I think all the locals call it…read moreTheodore Park. There are two or three baseball diamonds that have bleachers, a concession stand, and a restroom. Walking Trail that connects from the ballpark to the playground. Open area with some oak trees. I would say a medium sized parking lot. There are mobile homes surrounding this park in both good and bad condition, not too many fences, it is a rural area. I only saw one guy on the walking path, a girl and her boyfriend in a car, then a van full of kids from a local Baptist Church running to the playground. Everyone I encountered was nice and friendly. The grass was a little long, but only because Southwest Alabama has storms everyday for over a week followed by ninety degree heat, but at least this park was not muddy. The restrooms were clean and there were at least three drinking fountains near the concession area. I also saw a bird, I think it was a crane, walking around.

Just as an aside, there is an amazing barbecue restaurant called Moe's on that quiet street, stop by there before going. It is one of my favorite barbecue places.

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.

I saw some turtles in the swamp and even a turtle on one of the trails laying an egg! The dunes are beautiful. It was cool wating the storm roll in from the ocean. The boardwalk is nice to walk along. They are pet friendly.

These are just a few of the majestic and breathtaking birds that I saw when visiting the Audubon Bird Sanctuary on Dauphin Island near Mobile, Alabama. If you are a birdwatcher, or if you just love nature and walking along wooden footpaths through groves of trees and lagoons covered with lily pads, you'll enjoy spending some time here. I walked for an hour with my binoculars, listening and looking for birds. I saw birds that I knew, and birds that I've never seen before. I stood and gazed at the lagoon and lily pads, enjoying the quietude of nature and water. I walked through the shade of trees, listening the the hum of silence broken only by birdsong. Birding is a peaceful hobby. It's about listening, looking, and patience. Being at the Audubon Bird Sanctuary gave me the sense of peace and calm that only nature can provide.

We settled on Orange Beach, as none of us had been there before. Being spring break, I was not sure how busy it would be and how hard it would be to park. We were pleasantly surprised to find parking with ease and the beach was busy but not packed. Orange Beach has a small-town feel, friendly locals, and a laid-back vibe. Its beaches are pristine white sand and free of trash. I would consider this to be a family-friendly beach. With kids building sandcastles and splashing in the waves and we even saw a pirate ship that occasionally sounded a cannonball sound. Looking forward to spending many more days on this beach.

Small playground park in a rural unincorporated community. The park is next door to a cemetery,…read morenear a church, & surrounded by cotton fields in Grand Bay, Alabama. The parks has a small playground at the front of the park, older metal play equipment & a swing set near the rear of park. The parking lot is small, can accommodate between 6-12 vehicles. Four metal picnic tables with BBQ pits in the shade of Southern Live Oak Trees & Long Leaf Pines. There are also some Bald Cypress Trees & shrubs along one side near the fence. There is a wooden pavilion with two metal picnic tables & three electrical plug ins. A concrete sidewalk encircles the interior perimeter of the park. One older basketball court.There are no drinking fountains, no water faucets, & no restrooms at this park. There is litter throughout the park because there are no trashcans, either. If you plan on spending an afternoon here, I recommend bring wet wipes & your own water, plus packing out your own trash. There is a small, shallow pond at the rear of the park beyond the older playground equipment. Directly behind this small pond is a much larger pond/ lake with ducks & fish. I am not sure if that pond is part of the park, the church cemetery, or the cotton farmer's property on the other side of the park. I saw zero signs posted, but it looks like a good spot to fish. I saw very few vehicles driving along Tom Waller Road where you enter Community Park. I saw no people. I did see a low flying crop duster plane, that is all. But this looks like a great spot out in the country where no one will bother you.
