Vincent Ulmer Park
Vincent Ulmer Park is located in the Douglasville community of Bay Minette at the end of Shedrick Hardy Parkway.
The park features a baseball field, tennis and basketball courts, swings and playground equipment. To locate the park, take off Alabama 138 onto Shedrick Hardy Parkway. The park is located behind the former school campus.
New playground equipment was installed in 2019 and updates were also made to the bathroom and pavilion space at the park. The upgrades were funded through a Land and Water Conservation grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs, with local match and in-kind services provided by the City of Bay Minette and North Baldwin Utilities.
