Orr Park — Attraction in Montevallo

Sure Montevallo may be a small town and not that big but if there is one place worth seeing, it is the Orr Park for sure. Trees that look like they are designed by a true artist, a playground for the kids to play, even you can swim in a certain area of water too!

Atmosphere: This is what a park truly should be, benches and tables for picnics and eating, many trails meant for walking and even riding your own bike too. It's no wonder this is the best time of the year to come out to the park and enjoy the scenery.

Amenities: There are restrooms around, a soccer field in case people were interested in playing the sport, there are a couple swings near the entrance of the park too and so much more.

General Comments: Since people might be coming here, I wouldn't want them to see this park blind and seeing this review and the photos and videos, they will have an idea of what to expect at this lovely...

It's a beautiful park that has a playground for the younger children to play on and, a nice shaded pavilion for the parents to sit under. It has a walking trail that goes around the entire park and, what I remember most about the park growing up and, I think a crowd favorite would be the FACES IN THE TREES yes faces is what I said they've had people literally carve them into the trees and, it is definitely a sight to see. They also have a soccer field and, a softball field in the middle of the grass on opposite sides. At the main entrance of Orr Park is a bridge you must wall across and, underneath is a beautiful, breathtaking flowing stream with rocks, sand and, little bitty fishes. This water is freezing cold but, your welcome to get in for a dip. Little children and dog's especially love it. (Dog's must be on a leash and, no being in the park...

Orr Park has long since been a destination for me and my family. From a young boy, joining my mom who studied for her college courses here... to a pre-teen, while my mother worked at the University (we'd have lunch here), into my teen years, with time spent studying during my own time at college, then on to special time with my children now.

I've watched the creek flood, trees fall, revitalization, new carvings, and special events. Never ONCE have I had any reason to give this gorgeous park anything other than five...
