Rambling in rural Marengo County is Chickasaw's 520-acre roadside park. Complete with modern campsites, wading pool, hiking trails, a barbeque grilling pavilion, plus other large pavilions and picnic areas makes this small park perfect for group-sized cookouts and gatherings. The Park is also located adjacent to the handicapped-accessible, state-operated hunting facility "Turnipseed-Ikenberry Place Physically Disabled Hunting Area".
History of the Area
Located in Alabama, the park was initially established as a recreational area for African Americans during segregation. It opened in 1938 under President Roosevelt's New Deal program. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) developed it using native stone and timber to blend with the natural environment.

In 1949, after desegregation laws were passed, control of this land transferred from federal hands back to state ownership. In recent years, efforts have been made towards preserving its historical structures built by CCC workers.

Camping
The park has a modern campground with three campsities. Each site has water and 30 amp electrical connections. Primitie camping with water and electricity is also available. Restrooms are available, but there are no shower facilities.
