Georgetown Lake Park — Attraction in Hoover

Good points, it's tucked away inside of a neighborhood so it's very quiet. The playground is nice and in good shape. My son enjoyed playing on the playground.

Weeds/bushes/trees limbs slightly over grown.

The only reason I critique it so meticoulsy is because I expected more due to the location. So take this review with a...
