A beautiful walking trail, a historic covered bridge, benches to sit and watch the ducks cross the lake, a beautiful fountain, and lots of covered pavilions. Just a nice and quiet place to get away from it all.

Rickwood Field Park

America's oldest baseball park and former home of the Birmingham Barons is a place where visitors can relive the magic of baseball's glory years.

Having been involved in sports, especially baseball, for much of my life over 65 of my 73 years to-date you owe it to yourself to visit Rickwood Field when you are traveling in the area as it is the very last of the original ballparks of that vintage - A true cannot miss oppotunity to be sure.
