Children's Park — Attraction in Fultondale

♿️ Gorgeous park and trail right against the Black Creek. There is so much here, yet it is still very natural and serene. You are able to park and walk to the Greenway Trail or just stay inside thevpark and walk along the trail that covers the entirety of land the parks keeps up. I would love to see a special needs playground added in the coming year. A wheelchair swing, sensory toys for the blind and deaf, so all kids could enjoy them and it would help children learn to accept each other and their differences. I came on the first day to walk another section of the Greenway Trail and parked here to start. Discovered they had their own walking trail inside the park and came back again. I have been breaking the Greenway down into sections as I build my tolerance and stamina. The trail inside the park follows the creek and the animals all over the place make it fun. It starts in the parking lot and you will find the sign for which trail and how many laps equal a mile and a quarter (hint:3). You will find different levels for different types of mobility as well. Some of it is paved, some crushed gravel, and there is some dirt thrown in for good measure. There are so many areas available for to picnic and party, there are even handicap accessible picnic/party areas. The only difference I noticed is where some could have parties up to 30, the wheelchair accessible areas were up to 25. Honestly, no matter how hot it is, this park is definitely a must visit, whether you have children or not. There are 3 parking areas. I found a swing built as an Eagle project and sat in it for a little while. When I got up, another man decided he wanted to sit for a while. It is a great place to think. Would love to see more of these in the future. I love finding swings in parks for adults, especially near water. A hammock garden would also be a nice touch. Just something extra relaxing about it that melts every worry you have away. There are benches everywhere, including one that is sort of secluded and facing the water. This park and trail is 10/10 for accessibility, but would love to see a few additions, such as the wheelchair swing and sensory area. It would help if there was some extra gravel in places to make following the path easier. There is a large green space above the playground for whatever sport or game you can think of. When I got there 2 guys were playing catch. The playground has a covered area for parents watching their kids play and this could easily be expanded, the playground and the pavilion. Maybe some swings for Mom or Dad? Just something to thing about Fultondale Parks and Recreation. One of a kind park with inclusion for everyone. There is lighting, but I think it is to help guide you to the dog park that is also on this property. A large fenced enclosure with lots to do in the shade. It is does not close until 10 pm and reopens at 5 am. Great park. Great trail. Wheelchair accessibility has been the best I have seen so far...

Wonderful little discovery! Clean and well maintained. The restroom was stocked with toilet paper and was as clean as a public restroom could be. The kids play structure is quite large and suitable for older toddlers and up. My 2yr old and 4 yr old loved it,, couldn't get enough,, didn't want to leave! Plenty of climbing, swinging and sliding to be had. My only complaint is for one swing seat that is nearly broken in half, only visible from the bottom. I hope it gets repaired before a kid gets hurt, falling from it. This was our first visit. We haven't seen the creek yet. I'll update this review after we check out the...

It's a neat park, but it used to be where my great grandmother lived. The city of Fultondale condemned all the land, and forced everyone that lived there to move. I still have great memories growing up playing at her house. Used to get in trouble for playing in the creek because there were always snakes in and near the water. My great grandmother's house sat in the area where the gazebo is. My great uncle's house is still there though, it's the white house next to the church across from the park. Used to go hang out with him and my great aunt, she could...
