Beautiful, peaceful park. Both a paved walking track and a gravel trail that runs by the creek. Playground equipment (handicap accessible too) and workout areas. Trails and track are both shaded, so your walking experience is more pleasant in the summer. Keep an eye out for wildlife while youre there. I spotted a red headed woodpecker.

Great place to walk. Unfortunately, there always seems to be some people who cant read the posted rules sign to walkcounter-clockwise and forbidding kids from using bikes on the walking track.

It was a great place to bring my grandson to ride his bike and play on the playground.It is shady with trees and it was clean. I like how it has been updated with new benches and swings.

Great convenient location. Its a really pretty little park very quiet and quaint. There are swings and a playground and picnic tables for you to enjoy along with a nice creek and walking trails. We had lunch there and there is plenty of shade trees so you dont get too hot. I highly recommend visiting

Great place for a peaceful walk. Nice smooth trails with beautiful wooded scenery. If you’re lucky, you might find the abandoned sewer treatment plant.

Plenty of stuff to do if you want to walk on the track, play baseball/ softball, train on the football field or play soccer or just sit in the Pavillion

Always a pleasant place to sit and enjoy nature, walk the track, or let the kids play on the playground.

The location of this park is great but the playground leaves some things to be desired. If you just want a nice, shaded path to walk around its not a bad spot, but the play equipment really needs some work. The swings are great though.

Its a fun place to hang out with friends or take kids, the creek is always cool to watch and theres multiple areas to eat. pets are only allowed on leashes and you must pick up after them. there are trashcans throughout the park for public use. the gravel trail isnt the best, but its not too bad. the trails sometimes flood and get really muddy. the baseball fields arent in the best condition but theyre mostly just used for practice. the playground is old but still works fine. overall, its a good and fun place to go, I recommend coming here sometime.

This is a very nice park. It wraps partially around a ball park and has a paved track. The grounds are well kept. It has a small play set for kids, but thats pretty minimal, and its pretty much in the middle for age appropriateness. Toddlers and bigger kids will not get much use from it, though it does have several swings. It has several picnic tables that are spaced out nicely. There are nice gazebos as well. There are areas that are shaded by large trees and others that are very open. A small creek runs along one side, but its not very accessible as its got a steep bank. It has bathroom facilities on site, and they are functional and even had soap in the dispenser.

It is a very well maintained park with a gravel trail that leads all the way to the Warrior field. There are lots of places to sit along the creek as you walk along this trail. There is a baseball field right by the entrance and has ample parking at most times. Be sure to bring your own water as the water fountains here are often inaccessible.

Small, but very pretty city park. Walking track surrounds a small playground. Most of the walking track and all of the playground is shaded. Buck Creek runs alongside. Adjacent to the park is Buck Creek Nature Trail which runs south along Buck Creek. Trail currently runs to the area behind city hall, then a bit further on with plans to extend further south in the future.

What an incredible day for a picnic! Spring @ Buck Creek Park with hundreds of my great friends from Church of the Highlands, Alabaster for our annual Picnic in the Park was the highlight of the season so far!

Review №65

Not a bad little park. Very basic playground; swings, slide, monkeybars, & a few benches, park tables. Nice little gazebo w/ roses & small stream: great for pictures. Old trees for shade in the summer. Some exercise equipment.There is also a couple ball fields for soccer/baseball & a food sales building for the games. Also a nice gravel walking track that meanders through the woods & connects to the senior center. Very nice overall but it gets overlooked.
