Bicentennial Park is a 367 acre park containing a two mile nature trail with overlooks onto preserved wetland areas, which feature a unique natural habitat and home to a wide range of indigenous wildlife.
The Baldwin County Commission designated the 367 acre area on Highway 225 in Stockton, Alabama, to be the location of the Park. The park is dedicated to preserving the county’s rich culture and leaving a historical legacy for future generations.
