City Parks
City Park
City Park is the oldest park in Fort Payne. It is located in downtown on the corner of Gault Avenue and 5th Street. City Park is home to the statues honoring the country music supergroup Alabama who call Fort Payne their home.
It features swings, a beautiful gazebo, picnic shelter, picnic tables, restrooms, and majestic century old Ginko trees. Historic markers flank the outskirts of the park and provide insightful facts on Fort Payne’s past. City Park is the perfect setting for a picnic or a large family gathering.
