Chickasabogue Park, named for the creek that flows through the center of the 1,100-acre site, offers visitors a relaxing view, excellent hiking, campgrounds, extensive bike trails, watercraft rentals, ball fields, picnic areas, and a disc player's paradise.

In a county that is home to some of the greatest baseball players in the country – Hank Aaron, Eddie Stanky, Satchel Paige, Frank and Milt Bolling, Billy Williams, Tommy Agee, Cleon Jones, and Willie McCorvey – the baseball and softball fields at West Mobile County Park are important resources for Mobile County. Housed in 67 acres of prime land, the park is equipped with eight lighted fields. It's an excellent facility to train future great ballplayers.
