Facilities

At the far edges of the historical park and the memorial park are five baseball and softball fields and a soccer field in a $1.5-million newly opened athletic complex reserved for Leeds Youth Sports. The parks host as many as 30 baseball, softball, and soccer teams during a week of play.

The city rents pavilions to churches, civic groups and families. The walking track, playground equipment, veterans' memorial, sports fields, pavilion rentals, and other activities bring more than 1,000 visitors, including more than 300 children, to the park annually.

In the adjacent Leeds Historical Park, located across the Little Cahaba River, the acts of valor of three Congressional Medal of Honor recipients are recounted on brass markers on a brick monument. The monument features flags from the three branches of the military service in which the three men of valor served. Leeds is known to have the most highly decorated war heroes per capita of any city in America.

This park is located at 1188-1192 Montevallo Road SW. There is no admission fee. To rent a pavilion or book a group activity, please contact the City of Leeds at 205-699-0935.
