About the Location
Play & Sports Areas
Evans-Roshell Park has a little something for everyone when it comes to outdoor fun. The open spaces here are ideal for both casual hangouts and more active pursuits, regardless of your age or what you're in the mood for.
Kids will enjoy the playground area where they can climb, swing, and burn off some energy. Just a heads up - there's no shade over the play equipment, so you might want to bring sunscreen on sunny days. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the outdoor basketball court where pickup games often unfold. The park's lighted athletic fields are a major plus, letting baseball practices and games continue even after the sun starts to set.
Cooling Off & Picnic Spots
Perhaps the crown jewel of Evans-Roshell Park is its refreshing splash pad - an absolute lifesaver during Alabama's hot summer months. Nothing beats watching kids dash through water jets when the temperature climbs. If you're planning to make a day of it, you'll find picnic tables and grills scattered throughout the grounds, fantastic for family cookouts or casual lunches with friends.
Comfort & Convenience
You'll find restrooms and water facilities to keep everyone comfortable during longer visits. The restrooms are generally clean, but worth noting they may not have full door coverage for complete privacy. The park also offers rentable facilities if you're planning a larger gathering like a family reunion or community event.
Getting Around
The parking situation is somewhat limited, so you might want to arrive early on weekends or when baseball activities are scheduled. Just a practical note about the layout - the splash pad sits fairly close to the baseball fields, so keep an eye out for fly balls if there's practice happening while your little ones are splashing around.
