A regional destination park, Gateway Park welcomes visitors to the southwestern part of the city. Featuring Gateway Lodge, a 9-hole Executive Golf Course, a baseball/softball complex, football/soccer playing fields, and a lake large enough for water skiing and fishing, the park has something for every member of the family. Multiple walking trails, playgrounds and picnic shelters provide a place for fun and relaxation. Both Gateway Lodge and the picnic shelters are available for rental events. *The Golf Course is CLOSED on Mondays*
Special Event Permits are required for all shelter rentals. Please have your event permit submitted 20 days prior to your event. If you have questions regarding your event permit, please call 334-625-2300.
