Big Spring International Park

This is my favorite place to show to people who visit my town from out of town or a different state. Everything in downtown Huntsville is accessible from this point forward. There's paid parking and paid parking decks. If you're lucky, you can find a place to parallel park for free 😂 I see photographers here all the time taking pictures for senior photographs, wedding pictures, etc. Beautiful setting and lots of friendly people everywhere! Events are hosted here quite often as well but I can't name them all by name. Definitely 10/10 and kid friendly. You should absolutely get some food for the fish and ducks as there are a lot of them! Your kids are guaranteed to enjoy it! Mine like the waterfall in particular and the tunnel. The tunnel is my least favorite part with kids because they all like to scream and make echoes 😂 but lots of good musicians will sit there and play guitar and it's nice to watch and listen to. Hotels are nearby as well if you're planning on staying for a while!

Amazing park. It is being renovated in certain areas. Excited to see the changes slowly roll in. Just plan according to the weather and I'm sure you will be happy with your trip.

Wonderful spot for family and friends - especially on a sunny day.

Tinsel trail was beautiful. Well worth the night cold

Beautiful park! Good paved sidewalks, nice fountains, fish and ducks you can feed for a quarter, lots of benches in the sun or the shade. You do have to pay to park except on weekends.

A green lung in the midst of the city.Very nice walking around.
Some shade from the upcoming season could be appreciate.Dogs friendly till.owner keeps it dog on the leash.

Went downtown for date night. Tons of restaurants within walking distance. Nice area to relax and hangout. The water keep the area cool with a lot of trees in the area to give you some shade. Several colorful fish in the water and lots of ducks. We had a blast watching the ducks feed from the bottom of the stream. Nice place to relax. Wasn’t busy and it’s gorgeous.

I absolutely LOVED this park! What a beautiful place! We stopped here on our way home from visiting the Botanical Gardens since it was close by and so glad we did. We had lunch in the park and saw all the ducks, pigeon, and coy fish as well as all the water features. .

It's a beautiful place that crosses over the street and has a big, man made pond with hundreds of koi fish and ducks. They have the animals on both sides with little machines, that you put in .25 and can feed both fish and ducks. They often have lights and mini trails you can walk. Its beautiful anytime of the day or year. Theres no public restrooms but there's businesses around that you can use for bathrooms if need be.

Great decor for the holidays.
Busy! Fresh kettle corn.

This place is absolutely beautiful, love all the Koi fish, and the walking paths!! Waterfalls are perfect for pictures!!

Love this park around Christmas time. The ice skating is so fun

I loved enjoying the natural beauty of the fountain in the spring while listening to the jazz festival.

What a beautiful spot!! I had a marvelous time wandering around and reading all of the little signs. There are so many ducks and absolutely mammoth gold fish in the river! I could not believe how clean and well kept this park was. I cannot recommend it enough! If you are in the area, stop thinking about where to go and go here!

Great place to take a short walk (35 min or so) beautiful clear water pond with lots of giant koi fish 25 cents for a handful of of pellets will have the fish and the ducks in a frenzy

Visiting Huntsville for two days, was thrilled we got to catch the end of the Christmas tree display. Kids loved seeing each different one. The walkway, steps and bridge to the water were also a hit with the kids. Nice place to let some energy out after being in the car a lot.

Great leisure park to walk in the evenings. Bring quarters so you can feed the fish and ducks, we had a great time with the family. There are also easy bike rentals to explore on.

I come here every Sunday. Stroll around, people watch, maybe take a nap. It's a great place to just chill and hang out. It's close to everything, near the heart of downtown. And it has cool history.

beautiful perfect,. Good place to be with the family. And the beautiful canal with its beautiful lakes, there are also cultural presentations, food tracks.

In Huntsville for the week end, got up for a morning walk and found this gem. Very unique to have such a large spring featured in the center of a such large town, very beautiful.
