The Nature Park

Located at the southwest corner of Twin Beech Road and County Road 13, FSTC has 43 acres dedicated as a nature park. One portion of the park is being used as the lodge site for Boy Scout troop 47; the Scouts will help maintain the park. We are partnering with the County Commissioners to extend the sidewalks to the Nature Park.

Museum Plaza

The plaza is a 3,000 sqft landscaped park that links the Fairhope Museum of History with the Fairhope Public Library. A local artisan created the brick pavers that can be found throughout the plaza and around the fountain. A dedication is planned for late October 2009.

Knoll Park

In an attempt to restore the park to the state in which the founders would have enjoyed, Knoll Park is being restored to a long leaf ecosystem with natural pathways.

Veterans Memorial

To be located on the bluff, the "Tears of Sorrow, Tears of Joy" Veterans Memorial is intended to honor all veterans past, present, and future. The project has currently met 50% of its fundraising goal.

Fairhope Public Library

FSTC is a major contributor to the renovation of the new public library. A multifunctional space, it has areas dedicated to adults, teens, children, as well as a space on the second floor as the Colony Boardroom.
