Garrett Park
Robertsdale, AL, 251-947-8900
Garrett Park is located on Pennsylvania and Palmer Street. It consists of
40 acres of land which was donated by Dr. Amos Garrett, a doctor of dentistry,
who resided here in Robertsdale. The development of the park began back in 1968.
It consists of three tennis Courts, four softball fields, and four baseball
fields with a concession stand. There is a pavilion with picnic tables and
playground perfect for birthday parties and family gatherings. In addition to
this area we now have our Kids Park which was completed November 2002 built in
Garrett Park, east of the pavilion. City workers and volunteers from Robertsdale
and surrounding areas worked diligently to complete the structure, creating a
great addition to the park.
