Freeman Park

Make a Splash

Need a cool dip on a hot Alabama day? Freeman Pool at the heart of the park is your go-to spot, typically welcoming swimmers from Memorial Day through early August. The best part? Every Saturday you can enjoy free open swim sessions from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. A refreshing plunge is perfect when the summer heat kicks in.

Fresh Air Fun

Let the kids burn off some energy at the park's playground equipment while you catch up with other parents or simply enjoy watching the little ones make new friends.

Feeling hungry after all that outdoor time? Gather around one of the picnic tables and fire up the grills for an impromptu cookout. Food in the open air can make even simple meals more enjoyable, whether it's a family lunch or a weekend hangout with friends.

Get Moving

Lace up your walking shoes and hit the outdoor walking trail that winds through the park. Regardless of whether you're looking to get your steps in, train for a 5K, or just enjoy a leisurely stroll among the trees, this path provides a break from the bustle of city life.

Plan Your Gathering

Got a family reunion, birthday party, or community meet-up in the works? You'll come across rentable facilities at Freeman Park that can accommodate your special event. Just be sure to book in advance, especially during the busy summer season.
