Huntsville City Park

Nestled in the heart of South Huntsville, Alabama, Hays Farm stands out as a one-of-a-kind community that embraces the beauty of nature. It’s not just about building homes; it’s about creating a lifestyle. The excitement of Hays Farm continues to grow with the latest addition of a stunning city park, set to enhance the lives of both residents and visitors alike.

Lance Gilmet, Chief Executive Officer of Hays Farm, shares his enthusiasm: “We are thrilled that the plans for the new Hays Farm Central Park will soon come to fruition. This park represents a cornerstone in our vision of creating a space where community, nature, and accessibility intertwine seamlessly. We believe this will not only beautify our neighborhood but also enrich the lives of our residents and all those who visit Hays Farm.”

Hays Farm Central Park, a $7.1 million project, promises to be more than just a park; it’s an urban sanctuary. Located directly across from Grissom High School, the nine-acre park will be accessible via a tunnel linking it to the broader Hays Farm development. The park will feature a gazebo, windmill, lagoon with a waterfall, and a pavilion—all surrounded by lush landscapes and walking paths that connect to the city’s greenway network. Hays Farm Central Park is anticipated to open in the fall of 2025.

But the park is just one of the many facets that make Hays Farm a coveted destination. This master-planned community uniquely blends rural charm and urban convenience. Spread over 850 acres, it boasts over 10 miles of walking trails, abundant green spaces, and a tranquil pond. Additionally, our community boasts a variety of resort-style amenities, including a clubhouse, pool, bocce ball courts, and a playground. Shopping and dining options are also plentiful, with grocery stores, hardware supplies, and ample restaurants just around the corner at the Market at Hays Farm.

Hays Farm is not just a place to live. It is a place to thrive. The new city park is a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality, accessible recreational spaces that foster community and enhance the natural beauty of our surroundings.
