There will also be a fitness court in conjunction with Arts Huntsville, walking paths, and connectivity to the city’s greenway network along with ample parking and LED lighting.

The first step in the park’s construction will begin Tuesday with a groundbreaking ceremony for The Park at Hays Farm, Mayor Tommy Battle announced. District 3 City Council Member Jennie Robinson and developer Jim Hays will join Battle at the ceremony.

“We’re excited to bring this fantastic park to the residents of south Huntsville,” Battle said. “This project is a great example of our commitment to enhancing the quality of life throughout every corner of our city. Together, we are creating vibrant spaces for recreation and community connection that everyone can enjoy.”

Construction is expected to take around 14 months with the park set to open in fall 2025.
