The City’s first free public archery facility is ready to open in Southside Park! Mayor Tommy Battle will host a ribbon cutting on Tuesday afternoon to recognize the many community and state partners who helped provide the resources and planning to make this new park a reality. The project is a joint effort between the City of Huntsville/Parks & Recreation and the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resource’s Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries, the Archery Trade Association, Madison County Commission and Huntsville Sports Commission.
The facility features a 10-target adult range from 15 to 70 yards, a four-target youth range of 5 to 15 yards, and an elevated platform with four targets from 10-40 yards that provides bowhunters an opportunity to simulate hunting conditions. Come check it out!
