East Lake Park

Description

East Lake Park is a 100-acre city park in the East Lake neighborhood of Birmingham. The centerpiece of the park is a 45-acre lake created by the damming of Village Creek in the 1880’s.

Today, walkers, joggers, and fisherman enjoy the park. Adjacent to the park are public ball fields, tennis courts, a playground, and a swimming pool. Fisherman come with their tackle seeking catfish, bass, and bream (sunfish). Birders come with their binoculars seeking herons, ducks, and grebes. Nearby is the Samuelson EcoScape, a peaceful place to relax.
