About the Location

Playground Fun for the Little Ones

There are two distinct playground areas at Mayfair Park, each designed with different age groups in mind. Got toddlers under two? There's a special playground just for them! Older kids can enjoy the larger playground with more adventurous equipment.

Parents, you'll come across benches positioned nearby so you can keep an eye on your little adventurers while taking a breather. Though the playgrounds aren't enormous, they're great for a fun outing when you need to burn off some energy with the kids.

Sports Fields Galore

Mayfair Park features several well-maintained baseball, softball, and soccer fields. These fields buzz with activity throughout the seasons, hosting everything from youth leagues to adult tournaments and casual pickup games.

The baseball fields deserve special mention - they're particularly well-kept and frequently host children's baseball games and T-ball matches. On game days, you'll see families gathering to cheer from the sidelines.

You'll find restrooms and water fountains available during daylight hours - a practical necessity after running around the fields, but cleanliness can sometimes be hit or miss.

Picnic Spots to Relax

Need a break from the action? The park's covered pavilions with picnic tables provide a nice spot to refuel or simply enjoy some outdoor dining. The shade these pavilions provide is a welcome relief, especially during Alabama's warmer months.

It's not uncommon to spot local workers enjoying lunch breaks here, alongside families spreading out their picnic blankets. There's something calming about taking a meal in this green space tucked within the city.

Park at a Glance

Spanning 9.0 acres in Huntsville's Medical District, Mayfair Park serves locals and visitors alike. The park welcomes early birds and evening strollers alike, with gates open from 6AM to 7PM daily.

Its convenient location in the Medical District makes it easily accessible, whether you're a resident or just working nearby. There's plenty of parking available, but do watch out for traffic in the parking areas during busy times.

The park maintains a clean, safe environment with a welcoming atmosphere for families. While it's primarily designed for sports and recreation, note that it's not set up as a designated dog park - something to keep in mind if you're planning to bring your four-legged friend along.
