We absolutely love that the historic Big Spring Park is right in the heart of downtown Huntsville. After all, it’s what inspired the birth of the city when John Hunt decided to settle at the top of the spring’s rock bluff over 200 years ago! Since then, it would have been tempting for the City to forgo the green space for more parking lots and concrete, but lucky for us Big Spring Park continues to be an epicenter where families can stroll, feed the ducks, and get a breath of fresh air. There’s not a playground in this park, but we’ve created a fun activity you can do with your kids – the Big Spring Park Scavenger Hunt!
