Love this park, it is a favorite local spot for photo opportunities--prom nights, wedding announcements, etc.--due to picturesque stone ruins from historic Capitol of Alabama building which burned in the early 1900s. The park is big enough for children to run and play, and includes a large gazebo for public use. Capitol Park is mostly open space with green grass, but has some nice shade trees too. The historic old jail and tavern buildings from early Tuscaloosa days are adjacent to the park. The Capitol School is also next to the park. Unfortunately there are no bathroom facilities at the park, nor any refreshment vendors. It is however a great place to take a picnic! The park is well-located downtown Tuscaloosa near the amphitheater, only about a mile from the University of Alabama. It is just across the river from downtown Northport.

Pleasant sidewalk to jog, walk or stroll in evening. Appropriately lighted and clean. Little “monsters” hidden along walk and benches and overlooks. Nice Minerva statue and Tuscaloosa timeline.
