2901 Point Mallard Cir SE

“Point Mallard Park is still pouring on summer with a wave pool, lazy river, kids’ area, flume slides, an Olympic pool and the wild Pro Bowl and Sky Pond slide. Rally the crew, float and splash, then refuel at the concessions or make it a whole weekend with the campground.”

346 James Record Rd SW (Huntsville)

“Under new, 100% local management, Sunset Landing Golf Course is getting a glow-up, from improved playing conditions to a fully stocked pro shop and a Grille & Bar that actually makes you want to linger. Book a tee time, watch planes glide by, and call it a very Huntsville kind of round.”

3117 6th Ave SE U.S. 31

“AMF River City Lanes is Decatur's classic bowling spot with 32 well-kept lanes, a legit arcade, billiards, and a sports bar menu that fuels friendly trash talk. Solid pick for leagues, birthdays, or a spontaneous crew hang, with private event rooms and a pro shop keeping things easy.”
