Facility Overview
Citronelle Park Parking serves as a welcoming and convenient open-air surface parking destination in the heart of Citronelle, Alabama (Mobile County).

Visitor & Driver Tips
Parking at Citronelle Park is complimentary and operates on an open first-come, first-served basis. During major community celebrations, holiday weekends, or youth sports playoffs, parking spaces closest to the main pavilions fill rapidly; arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to scheduled events is highly advised. While the open lot offers ample turning radii, drivers are encouraged to maintain low speeds given the high volume of pedestrians and children walking to and from park facilities. Ensure all personal belongings and valuables are stowed out of sight before heading onto the recreational grounds.
