Bill Noble Park Enjoys Successful First Year

Bill Noble Park opened in the spring of 2023 in Gardendale, Alabama, 12 miles north of Birmingham.   Just minutes off of Interstate 65, this 46-acre multi-faceted sports complex has already proven to be a destination park for both residents and traveling athletes.

HNP Landscape Architecture provided design services from initial Site Planning and Program Development to Ball Trajectory Studies, Playground Design Concept and Coordination, Site Furniture and Amenity Specifications, Landscape Drawings, Irrigation Coordination, Estimation, Field Construction Documentation (Fencing, Equipment, Surface, Grading, Drainage), and ongoing Construction Observation.

The park boasts synthetic turf fields for nine softball/baseball diamonds, batting cages, bullpens, and a football/soccer field.  It features eight renovated tennis courts, 11 pickleball courts, two basketball courts, and a sand volleyball court.  Other special features include an honor wall, concession buildings and grandstands, playground, community building with exterior social space, misting area, event lawns, maintenance facility and a designated area for future nature trails.  Throughout the summer, the park hosted adult softball and kickball.  Fall was in full swing with baseball, softball, football and pickleball. The park even added numerous special events and vendor markets for the community to enjoy.

In December of 2023, the HNP-designed pickleball courts at Bill Noble Park were recognized by the American Sports Builders Association as the Outdoor Pickleball Facility of the Year.
