We now have THREE (3) separate 18 basket disc golf courses, picnic areas, swings and bird watching areas. Trails cross multiple habitats where visitors can see rare carnivorous plants and wildflowers year round. The park area also boasts large populations of wildlife and birds who make the preserve their home, designating Graham Creek Nature Preserve as as official stop on the Alabama Bird Watching Trail. With clean comfortable restroom facilities and outdoor showers, the Preserve offers groups a unique meeting facility under the 2400 square foot Pavilion, as well as other rental space for wedding, parties or other private events.
