Confirmed from Alabaster Municipal Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Public park with basketball and tennis courts, picnic tables and soccer fields.
What runners say about Alabaster Municipal Park
“Sometimes the fields need cutting more often than is done too but overall it's pretty well maintained.”
It's a park. There are soccer fields, basketball courts, pavilions, playgrounds, and bathrooms... and there is no charge to use it. Well... I mean it is funded by taxes. Money well spent, I say. Municipal park is an Alabaster melting pot.
Needed somewhere to run in the early morning and this is one of the only places I could find that was 24 hrs a day. I've only been here once and while it was still dark but it didnt appear to have a running track. I made do and used the inside fence of one of the fields available.
