Pretty place to explore
This was a pretty place to explore and learn the history about West blocton me and my husband went out there and just walked around and spend some time together it is a well-kept area kind of hidden out in the middle of nowhere if you like that

History and Nature in this park
This is a fairly new park and we could see real potential. The park provides interpretive signs with information about the remains of the Cahaba Coal Company's coke ovens. Features include walking trails, children's play area, picnic tables, a boardwalk and plenty of plants, trees and flowers. From a distance, I saw what seemed to be a restroom facility (but I didn't check it out). Volunteers and paid help were out getting the site ready for the Cahaba Lily Festival; trimming overgrown trails and cutting the grass to create easy access. There is no charge and the park is open 7 am until 7 pm.
