Civitan Park is a Trussville city park located along the Cahaba River in Trussville. The park is roughly bound by Gadsden Highway, Cherokee Drive, Chickasaw Lane, and Parkway Drive. The mall features playground equipment, picnic shelters, and the Trussville disc golf course completed in 2006. It is the site of many local functions and events and also features the pedestrian Happy Hollow District Bridge over the Cahaba.
On September 17, 2009 ground was broken for a 30-foot sandstone tower which serves as the centerpiece for a veterans memorial designed by Nimrod Long and Associates. A $1.7 million renovation to the park, including a greenway extension along the Cahaba, began in 2012. Work was delayed when the Alabama Department of Environmental Management determined that the contractor was allowing too much sediment to reach the stream. In June 2012 the city erected a fence around the park, closing it until work could be completed in 2014.
