When to see the Christmas lights, the view was beautiful, very great price for the family to enjoy a great winter wonderland of lights. Train ride, horse carriage rides, and a Santa photo booth. If you have the time it is a mist to take the family to see.

This park has become more beautiful as the years go by. So many improvements. I remember swimming in that lake 63 years ago.

Sportsman Lake Park is and always has been, a beautiful little spot in Cullman to walk, camp, have a picnic, or enjoy some fishing. It’s free to enter and fishing permits are only $2. There is ample parking and a large children’s play park and splash pad. You can feed the ducks, geese, and fish - they have quarter operated feeders. There’s a little train that goes around the lake, a paved path, and restroom/bathhouses along the way. It’s a place I have fond memories of coming with my folks and fishing with my dad.

Good way to burn energy for kids. Ours rode the train, played in the splash pad, and played on all the equipment at the playground. We ate lunch there and kids loved their hotdogs, chips and drink for 4 bucks each. Nice clean lake and a small campground but there were a couple of class A, and on huge 5th wheel toy hauler.

I just happened to be in Cullman for a few hours. I was waiting on a friend who had a doctors appointment. This is a really nice park. I wouldve like to have spent the whole day here. Nice Lil Jem they were bidding there in Cullman.

Christmas Lights. Right around Christmas they have hundreds of figurines and scenes throughout the camping are for you to drive through and enjoy. They offer horse drawn carriages and miniature train rides as well. They even have Santa. Not too expensive, but if You do everything, you will be there for a while and spend some money.

Review №44

Great park.. Love it. splash pad. Mini golf. Huge playground. Great Memorial to Veterans. Camping primitive and fancy. Tons of Pavilions And amenities. Fishing. Boat rental. Train rides. Are all reasonably priced. Combo package on rides i believe. Concessions and food is ice cream. Hotdogs hamburgers ect. All reasonable. Something for every type of sportsman. My only complaint was with visitors. As secure as this park is their are cameras everywhere. A set of Parents were letting their children hurl rocks towards wildlife trying to hatch goslings. Then he started playing with the switch to the childrens train tracks. They let him hurl rocks at the building for a while putting dents in it.. Maybe a little better physical security??

We went through the park in December while the Christmas lights were up they are spectacular. The traffic was heavy but very efficient. You drive through the park looking at lights from your car they have bathrooms you can stop and use they also have a train to ride a sliegh ride and horse and carriage they have hot chocolate to buy and you can take pictures with Santa. Its $10 a car to enter the park to view the lights the other activities are additional $$.

If you are going to have a Christmas display and then have a few (very few) things extra to do; you might want to have better parking. I had to go through twice before I could find a place to park.

Review №66

I litterly have been going to that park since i was a kid. Trains, trails, camping which isnt really camping but more like an innercity refuge. Candy, drinks, snacks and hot foods. Small water play area. Mini golf bring ur own putters and balls . hasnt been open anytime ive been there in a while. But your free to play . come prepared.. Nice chill nature walk. Big pond with ducks, paddle boats, and dont think you can fish or swim anymore. Wouldnt swim in it anyways..

This is a great location for family and friends to hold parties or celebrations (birthdays, reunions, BBQs, whatever) where they may need a lot of space. The pavilions offered are large and open with picnic tables. There is plenty to do while here, so you never hear Im bored from your children. My video game addicted teen even had a good time in the outdoors for the day.I live in Bham, so it was about a 45 minute drive to get here, but it was easy to find and right off the interstate. We had rented a pavilion for the day and everyone had a wonderful time, especially the kids. There is so many activities offered from paddle boats to mini golf and a pretty large playground. There is even a little train that goes around the lake and the kids loved feeding the ducks (the big kids did too!). I really was not expecting so much to do and would definitely recommend to others as a location to keep in mind for family get togethers.Im glad to hear they have upgraded/updated some things, as well as now offering an area for RVs.It is a reasonable rental fee to get as pavillion for the day and I do recommend doing so if you are planning to have a party or something similar. We were given passes for the train and a few other extras included with the rental.Very happy with everything and will definitely return.

It is a very nice park. Lots of trees, ducks and geese, good fishing, there is a playground and splash pad, you can get a fishing license, and bait at the office, you can also get fish/duck food there, there is a walking /bike path around the lake, there are many pavilions for gatherings and cook outs, a second play area with swings and Teeter totters, and even a camping area with utilities, they also have a train you can ride around the lake, and paddle boats for rent, there is even an outdoor stage for use, and one of my favorite parts, there is a nature trail that is great for photo shoots

Went on a hot day to play mini golf. The course is kinda small, but good enough for a quick game. There isnt much shade on the mini golf course. As a matter of fact there isnt much shade at all over the whole park, so be prepared with plenty of sunscreen. It wasnt clear, but you need to go the concession and ticket shack to purchase a ball to play. There are some concessions such as ice cream and drinks there also.

My husband, kids and I have been going to the park for a week to walk the path around the lake. On our way to a healthier us. A good place to spend with your family. My only complaint is it would be nice if the park officials could do something about all the poop on the walking trail.

Good place for family gatherings, they have a splash pad, a train ride around the lake that you can fish in, playground, basketball, and plenty of pavilions for gathering.

Review №94

Need to have better tile in bathrooms, very dangerous! You cant even walk when youre wet from showering. No seat in the handicap shower. Due to the tiles so slippery, I had no where to sit and had to hold on the the bar the entire time I showered. Also you could do a better job with the RV spots, not level at all. And your on top of one another, due to how the electric is placed. The things to do for children is great.

Review №95

Has a clean dog park with shade! Even though ir is not that big there are walking paths around the creek and pond that are easily accessible and free. Only downside, no drinking water spout but the creek seems adequate and have a clean bathroom which I have unfortunately found is rare at parks in general.Soft serve ice cream cones for a hot day are served at the office along with some other snacks. We have visited many dog parks all over the US and this is one of the top five! So glad we found it!

Awesome place with lots to do! However there are way to many geese and trying to fish off the bank and not step in goose poop is challenging. Plus lots of people just come in and sit in parked cars in the camping areas during random hours of the night.
