Buck Creek Trail

The Friends of Buck Creek Trail Mission Statement

Develop, Promote and Manage a multi-use trail for walkers, bikers and nature enthusiasts.

Buck Creek Trail

The City of Alabaster has partnered with Shelby County to develop the Buck Creek Greenway. Phase One of the project opened in fall 2009. Once completed, the trail will connect Warrior Park and Buck Creek Park. Residents can access Buck Creek Greenway at three different locations - the Depot, Buck Creek Park, and the new Alabaster Senior Activity Center.
