Its a pretty place to visit in the day time. Stay away from there at night though. It is secluded and if something were to happen, who knows when help would arrive.

I wouldnt really call it a park... More of a sitting area next to the river. Good for a two minute stop if youre walking around downtown though.

Big open area for running off energy in a beautiful setting by the river. Right next to the Mobile Cruise Terminal. Has public bathrooms but they are not climate controlled and there is no playground here.

We went here to listen to the Mobile Pops and watch 4th of July fireworks. There was plenty of parking within a few blocks of the park. The park has a beautiful view of the Mobile River. It is also home to a museum and a cruise line terminal. There was plenty of space to walk around. There is no admission fee and is family friendly.

Such a beautiful Park by the river. You can walk quite a ways and see sculptures or just sit on a bench and watch the cruise ships go by. We ended up at Gulf Quest National Maritime Museum. That day they had a replica ship of the Niña - one of the ship Christopher Columbus said on to the Americas.

Nice little walkway to see the river. Not sure why it is labeled a park because it is not. They had a few statues and a fountain to look at.

Great spot to bring the kids and spend some time together. We came as the sun was coming down and it was beautiful to see the building light up.

Review №32

I went there today, not yesterday. It is a beautiful park but it is in Mobile, AL and heat index was over 100. There is very little shade so it is very hard to appreciate it when it is so hot. Shade is needed to truely appreciate this park in the summer.

Great place to visit. While you are there you have to visit GulfQuest Maritime Museum next door its spectacular

Review №42

Mobiles downtown access to the water. Good setting for everyday use + special events, like July 4th festivities. Park entrance not friendly to wheelchairs--FOUR sets of TRAIN TRACKS (beat up and dangerous, not modern and smooth) that you must cross to enter the park from Water St. A maritime museum, Gulfquest, is adjacent to the park, has its own lot and better park access for wheelchairs (but had to pay on July 4). Also adjacent is the convention center, w/parking garage underneath = easier access to the park for wheelchairs (also costs). They set up food trucks to block one set of double gates to the park, so exiting on the 4th was a nightmare against the crowd, trying to get back to the museum parking lot. The symphonic pops band played before the fireworks and an R & B-jazzy band played afterwards.

Review №43

Very cool park along the river. You can park under the convention center next door. Prices vary but when we went parking was only a dollar. The park has a restroom, some benches and nice grassy areas. You can check out the ships being built at Austal and watch the tug boats pass. Watch for porpoises and other marine life.

Gorgeous park by the bay! Nice spot for a wedding. It has a view of a ship building company across the water. Carnival Fantasy was docked and boarding when we were there. It was amazing to watch and see the size of the ship. Best of all, it is adjacent to Gulf Quest. Its a maritime museum thats amazing.

I enjoyed it! I met someone here to give them a motorcycle seat that I promised them. I took time to walk around and soak it in. very nice condition and well built. almost empty of people, not crowded. there is a great view of the shipbuilding dock thing across the river, I remember staring at the gigantic piece of metal and thinking how amazing it is that humans can dig that stuff out of the planet, refine it and separate the good stuff, then mix it with other metals and then shape it. then melt or bolt the shapes together and form a floating city that also wages war....astonishing! absolutely incredible the things humans can do when they put their minds together.

Review №55

Relaxing little waterfront park. The only thing that could make it better is if we could fish. Fun little spot to pass through on a bike ride through downtown. Kids will love watching the big ships and cute little tugboats at work in Mobiles active seaport. Getting their by walking across the skybridge is fun for the little ones too.

Nice park to sit and view port or have a picnic. Only loses a star because there isnt anything for kids. There are pokestops though for Pokemon Go. Just would have been nice to include a kids area.

Review №65

A lovely small park to stroll and take in a view of the Mobile river. Across the river from the park is Austal USA where you can get a peek at the lastest naval ships being built. A stroll through the park will get you to the Gulf Quest National Maritime Museum. Also, if you play Pokemon Go there are a few Gyms and pokestops. The park is a good place to decompress from the pressure of the day; include on an afternoon or early evening date; or, take the kids so they can run around to burn off energy.

Last year, 2015, Guests from Texas with three boys, ages 8, 10, 13, were treated very rudely by the young women in charge at the time. Grandparents sitting near me, who had brought their granddaughter, commented that their treatment from the ticket purchase onward was abrupt and rude. My guests decided they would not return due to the embarrassing treatment, although the boys enjoyed skating.

A nice place to relax and escape the hustle and bustle of downtown mobile without going too far. You can use the convention Centers walkway to avoid the traffic below and enjoy the view of the well-manicured park and see ship building in action.

For a nice view of the Mobile River and Downtown Mobile Waterfront, Copper Park cannot be beat! This small park is often a quiet place to come relax and enjoy the little slice of downtown waterfront. it is conveniently connected to the Mobile Convention Center and the GulfQuest National Maritime Museum. Parking is available at the park (free parking) or the museum (paid parking). I believe fishing is allowed.

Review №78

Little park between Mobile convention center and GulfQuest. Great for enjoying river scenery and Austral across the river and if youre lucky enough, you might see the USS Independence. Restroom available and park closes at dust. Fishing is not allowed.

Its a pretty place,but I wish Mobile could get the river cleaned up.We have seen dolphins there,though. The Gulfquest,Exploreum, and History Museum are all within walking distance from the park and so is the fort. There are,also, soany great places to eat close by(in downtown Mobile). Lastly, try to check out the Moon Pie General store if youre visiting-they have all kinds of great souvenirs plus they sell ice cream (which, believe me you need it depending on the time of year). Hotlanta is nothing compared to Steamy Mobile!
