Parks
In 2007, the Parks and Recreation department updated all five city parks and all are now handicapped accessible.
- Noble Park is our largest park with age appropriate play structures, a pavilion for rental, a skate park, and BMX track. The park also features a 1/4 mile concrete walking track.
- Beth Wallace Yates Park is the location of the tennis center as well as a pavilion for rental, age appropriate play structures, and a sand pit for volleyball.
- We have two smaller community parks, Fairmont Park and South Highland Park, that both feature basketball courts, play equipment, and a small pavilion.
- The newest edition, Central Park, is a passive recreation area includes a large pavilion and restrooms.
- Lake Howard features a 15 mile mountain biking and hiking trail that winds through portions of the Talladega National Forest. There are also plans for a new pavilion, primitive camping and camper hookups, at a later date.
The Donald Comer Complex is used for a variety of activities. Cal Ripken baseball in the spring and soccer and football in the fall, just to name a few.
