Confirmed from Knoll 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.
Park with a wooded hilltop, longleaf pines, and benches, plus a public restroom.
What runners say about Knoll Park
“And a beautiful setting to spend the day relaxing with a book or taking a stroll.”
So nice and well kept. The pier is absolutely amazing and clean. All staff from the surrounding restaurants and local law enforcement at the pier are beyond friendly. There is a beach there and a duck pond along with other fantastic wildlife.
A mostly wooded hill with long leaf pine and a couple trails cutting through it. The top of the hill has stone benches in a circle for gathering. Knoll Park is mostly used by joggers and walkers cutting thru.
Nice park a short walk from Fairhope Municipal Pier, South Bay Park, & Fairhope Municipal Beach. You can visit this park and the other three in a single day because these parks are right next to one another.
