I think Big Spring Park is definitely one of my favorite places to visit on a nice sunny day. You can grab a coffee at a nearby coffee shop and walk around the park or sit and enjoy the nice views. Lots of people run or bike around the park too. Don't forget to bring quarters to feed the fish! Pretty, safe to visit. Walk, eat and feed the ducks. Any time of day or night. Also, great place for kids to hide and hunt painted rocks.

Darryl Gutierrez

Big Spring Park is located just down a set of steps from the old court square in Huntsville. It starts at the base of a bluff and meanders around and through the park under a Japanese Style bridge. Cherry trees as well as other trees are located throughout the park. The old warehouse district is located immediately to the right of the canal that used to lead from the spring to the Tennessee River. Various water fowl and colorful fish are constantly on the move for one's enjoyment.

John Fontana

What a beautiful little park in the heart of Huntsville! Really well maintained, interesting with the spring welling up right there, and a lovely spot to chill out, talk, relax during the hot summer's in AL. Way to go, Huntsville!

Daring 49

Street parking is hit or miss but there is a parking deck option. New spacious park along a river front. Worth checking if you're visiting and looking for something different and free. Walk your dog.

Suzie Dunson

It's a calm park with beautiful scenery. It's easy to get too.

William Roper

Great place.

Brad McClellan

It is a mid-city park and you pretty much know you are mid-city the whole time but it is pretty nice as the trails are easy to access and paved. The "spring" is a fountain and has many koi fish around and many ducks which are all very pretty. There is some moss and ferns on the spring area which is a nice touch of nature. There was an art exhibit of giant rabbits while we were there

Megan Whitfield

Beautiful place to spend with family

i dunno !

My parents got married here. They have dummy thicc fish swimming around and one really dumb one that I had to save from a seaweed trap death.

Michele Echternacht

Loved it. The ducks are Savage!

Teresa Whitworth

Always love walking here.

Clif Morgan

They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot. There is concrete as far as the eye can see here after the "beautification". I guess it's pretty, and it would have been a great way to make a barren hellscape look welcoming, but there was lovely soft grass everywhere. I love Huntsville, but the new Big Spring isn't as good as the old.

Chris Crouch

Really nice walking park. Access to restaurants and hotels. Giant fish to feed and water features. Worth a stop.

Tom Wolfe

This park has grown since I last visited. A real nice area to relax, walk down the trail that goes on both sides of the spring and the creek and there are even a couple restraunts near by. All in all it's a nice area and half the reason I visit the area.

Anthony S

A company outdoor event, the location and the weather was perfect. The interactions between adults & kinds was spectacular.

Lovely place to visit. . Make sure you cross the street to the actual spring ( my favorite area) It's less crowded, on that side of the park, and the shade walk to the spring is charming. Don't forget to bring money for duck/ fish food and the parking meters.

Stargel McKey

Great place to get a piece of mind.

Robert Pearce

Drum circle held every Sunday, weather permitting, at 4 p.m. Beautiful atmosphere, great sound and entertainment for anyone in the vicinity. Always held near the head of the spring adjacent to the parking garage.

Darryl Freels

What a nice place, very quaint with shops and eateries in walking distance Huntsville is a very beautiful city

fusako nomura

Very wide. We can take a leisurely walk. There are many Koi fish in the pond. There is also a vending machine for feeding bait to fish. A place to relax.

Victoria Holdean

Sometimes there is metered street parking near the spring, but when crowded, park on the square or in one of the parking decks. Look up events on Facebook like concerts and food trucks. Those can be exciting but very crowded. Not a lot of benches or tables, but ample space for a picnic blanket.

Jessie Thomas

An important part of the community.

Rebecca Dorsey

I needed to go clear my mind. Soul search. I love this place especially when nobody is there

Chris Huerta

Beautiful and scenic park to walk around. Plus learn some local history as you stroll with sever historical markers.

Kim Opager

Lovely, historical spring with walkway, canal, and 2 small waterfalls. Check out the Cozy Cow for an affordable, delicious eatery!

connie ward

Clean, a nice green space to walk. great location.

Calvin Dugan

I was here for an event for an artist I manage. Very clean, they have outlets in some places, and just a great area. Alot of new hotels in the area so if you need a place to stay there are several nearby. Hope I can visit again soon!

Rev. Marcos Almonte

Wonderful open area to visit with family and friends. Great for open air events and music. This was the 2019 Hispanic Festival.

Gheymarne Woodson

Great time Jazz in the Park Series. Was crowded but not as crowded as last year. Great music and set up.

Darren Workman

Music events and great scenery

Orchid Black

Wonderful park

Ashley Battle

A beautiful park where you can take family walks, you can take your pet if you choose to do so. A great area to go running or jogging that you can feel safe and not really have to worry about anything such as brush or trees, you actually run around this big beautiful spring filled with fish of all colors and sizes! You can actually put a quarter in this machine and feed the fish I think majority of them are coral fish but they're beautiful! and there's ducks and geese and all types of natural Wildlife it's a beautiful area highly recommended!!!

Tiaras Hammonds

Excellent place for the family to spend time together

Heather Whitaker

Went here with the family and rode the Pace bikes. We had a blast and will definitely be going back again.

menique Rencia L.H

It's just wonderful

Troy Hester

It's really becoming Huntsville's back yard. The recent waterway stonework really classes up the area. There are three restaurants with views just steps off the park, and more are coming. A perfect stroll around the park could include a visit to the art museum, an event at the Von Braun Center, UG White, Lewter's Hardware, and maybe out to Twickenham.

Gary Herring

GREAT WALKING AMONG THE DUCK, FISH AND SQUIRREL BEAUTIFUL SKY!!!

Carolyn Jackson

Loved the visit.

Scott Leak

My wife and I love to go there and unwind. Sometimes they have people playing music which is always fun to watch. There's also a lot of places to eat within walking distance. Christmas time they have a outdoor ice skating rink, horse and carriage rides and a ton of decorated Christmas trees. Beautiful place.

Treasure Williams

Rent a bike to ride for 1.00, pond water is clear with no smell, great place for kids and an art museum. Wine and pizza restaurant(romantic). Great place to jog with baby stroller and wife early morning. Grass is alwats cut.

Tommy Cowan

Beautiful as always.

Walter Rice

Nice place to walk around look at the fish people watch or just relax.

Kayla S

Beautiful renovations. It's a perfect place to spend some time walking and feeding the park life. I love the ducks, most whom eagerly eat from your palm. It's typically quiet unless it's a weekend night, particularly in the summer time when they host movies and concerts. There's a drum circle every Sunday by the spring and it's a wonderful sound that fills most of downtown. If you're passing through, I recommend stopping through here to stretch your legs and a quick drive to Supper Heroes to fill your belly with fantastic food.

didgmike

I've been coming to Big Spring Park since 1996, mainly to participate in the long running (30+ consecutive years) Sunday afternoon drum/jam sessions at the corner of Spragins & Spring St. Behind the Huntsville Utilities/YMCA building, but really any time I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery, hear the cold spring waterfall, and meditate around some awesome koi fish and the funkiest ducks you've ever seen. It's hands down the best thing about this little city. Good people...check Lazy Sundays...check Good music...check

Latoya Nance

Love the outdoors great place to relax and exercise get a good walk in

Keith Matthews

One of the reasons I’m glad to call Huntsville my home town, always beautiful, accessible and interesting!

Pandora Suggs

Awesome I love big spring international park

Josh Mays

This park is so beautiful! The kids love to come and watch the ducks and fish. There is a great canal that is covered by trees with a waterfall built in. The amphitheater at the end with the spring is so peaceful. There was a group of drummers when we went having a good time and drawing small crowds.

Melissa Escamilla

Great place! Full of wonder & adventure. Our Community makes this a fantastic journey. Skateboarders, Dancer's, Lover's, Friends, Musician's & More. Happy Place!

B KC

Took the family and friends to the tinsel trail in downtown. I am never disappointed in the downtown area. It is always clean, and there are minimal loitering kids/teens. You can tell this a city that takes pride in its appearance and strives to keep it looking nice. Hundreds of decorations and Christmas tunes to enjoy while walking along and checking out the trees sponsored by local businesses. It is great to see the community coming together like this.

Marcin Rzepecki

Very nice, green, quiet maintained area in the city centre. Nice place to come over and rest - plenty benches around. Only downside is the scarce of parking spaces nearby. Close to restaurants and pubs, access to free Wi-Fi.

Jason Wiersma

Always a nice place for a walk

Michael Eder

Love this park~

Stephen Larsen

Great park. Plenty of places to sit and enjoy nature. You can get feed to feed fish too! Also, great for catching Pokémon.
