Fun Stuff To Do Around Birmingham! Homewood Central Park

 Fun Stuff To Do Around Birmingham!

HOMEWOOD CENTRAL PARK

 

 

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved this park!  I grew up nearby and it was a popular spot for my parents' Sunday School social events.   It was at one of these parties that I vividly remember getting into trouble for playing on the rocks in the creek that flows through the park!  I slipped and got soaking wet and had to go home and change into some dry clothes.

 

Homewood Central Park was established in 1948 and underwent major renovations in 2003, yet it still maintains the charm and character that I remember as a child.  There is a large playground for the kids, an amphitheatre, walking trails, 2 tennis courts, pavilions with picnic tables and a huge play meadow (the site of Friday Night Flicks in the summer months).

Ann, great park and photos. Your initial comments got me reminiscing about the park I always took my kids to. Very pretty but lots of geese poop. We have a historic watermill in ours too.

That's a lovely looking park, Ann!  The design of it - especially the lagoon and streams, is very similar to a park we have in the community of Rancho Cordova, in the Greater Sacramento area.

I love Homewood park. I used to take kids there when they were little and went to Dawson church daycare. I have some great memories from there. It has changed a lot though. They have done great job renovating it...

Ann, Nice to hear your memories of this park.  I can see why it would be a favorite place to go with water and amphitheater, etc.  It offers a lot. 

Happy Autumn.
