Nice walking track area in daytime. This is right across from Landon park and has a bunch of little ponds and u can go all the way back to the creek area.

I come here occasionally with my dog, I really enjoy the Rock Waterfall. In the spring & summer, the ponds have lotus flowers, ducks, geese, egrets, frogs & aquatic turtles. This park is ran & maintained by volunteers. There are long gravel paths a few miles long, Three Mile Creek cuts through this park. There are also wooded trails popular with runners & dog walkers. Across the street is Langhan Municipal Park, Mobile Disk Golf, Mobile Tennis Center, Mobile Art Museum, a children’s playground, & Playhouse in the park. This park is usually pretty clean, but could use a little trash pickup. Family friendly environment.

Pleasant wooded park across from museum and sculpture garden with a few close walks beside koi ponds and lily beds. I can see what it used to be but they really need volunteers. Therefore, the grounds are neglected and the shop is closed. However, you can have a nice walk in the woods in the urban area.

Perhaps at one time this was a nice area to enjoy nature, but it appears neglected. There is no signage. The plants are overgrown.

I'm sure the gardens would be lovely in season but don't waste your time going in the winter. I wouldn't even go for the walk because it really was unattractive and there was not much to look at. The man in the visitor center kept telling us to be sure to check out their waterfall. When we got there it wasn't even a natural waterfall. It was just water flowing over a dam. And the water along the edges of the creek was a rusty iron color. The water in the koi ponds was an unnatural shade of blue which made it difficult to even see the fish.
