Booth Park is one of the finest parks ever conceived. Let’s start with the cute lil toddler park – it is cute and it is lil and it is for toddlers, and it’s precious with lil slides and climbing structures and such. Adorable. There are fields at the front of the park for frolicking and kites and the like, which is also nice. The main park is a classic wooden castle structure, which is awesome and looks lovely. And the centerpiece is a sledding hill – which may pose the question, how does one sled without snow? It is a hill made of artificial turf, and with an assortment of cardboard fragments your child (and you) can grab a piece of a cardboard box and slide down the hill, and your kids will live it and also you will too. And what may be the best part? It kinda sucks to pay on a hot day right? Booth Park knows, and has supplied the solution: Misters babyyyyyy! Your child presses a button and sprayers mist a shaded archway in the middle of the main playground with cool water. An all time great addition to help keep children and their accompanying guardians cool. And that’s not to mention it’s in downtown Birmingham, one of the loveliest walking streets in the area. Go to this park and make a wonderful day and a timeless memory, it’s dope.
One of my favorite parts to take my children to. We don’t live near it unfortunately, but whenever we are in town we stop by. It is clean, there are plenty of options for the kids to play. There are plenty of places for parents to sit while also being able to see your child play. The larger play structure is big enough that if a parent wants to join in they can with ease. There is also a walking path that is great for walking your dog or just getting some peace and quiet.
Kids had so much fun. They have swings, slides, a rock wall, and a big kid castle theme park, a small plays cape for little ones. A sand box and so much more to explore. Misting water from the mill, connected right to the playscape for the kids to cool down !
No parking was a downside.
It’s not the biggest park, however it’s a nexus for so many cool things. In the winter it’s a decent sledding hill, throughout the summer it host many activities including movie nights, a starting point for a nice urban escape trail, and a play structure that kids of all ages love. Everyone ignores the signage and slides the astro terf slope.
Awesome sledding hill for younger kids. I took my three and four-year-old there on a 30° Saturday, it wasn’t even busy and the hill is perfect size for them. There is a family size porta potty on site that was surprisingly clean also.
