Shoal Creek Park Foundation Purpose

Established in 2015, the Shoal Creek Park Foundation (SCPF) is a nonprofit organization founded to support Shoal Creek Park, a City of Montevallo nature park.
SCPF advises the Montevallo City Council, raises funds to benefit the park and its visitors, and contributes to its maintenance and operation. The foundation is guided by Shoal Creek Park’s mission to sustainably promote natural surroundings, health, regional history, environmental education, arts, and agriculture. 

Mission

The mission of SCP is to provide a diverse and sustainable retreat for Montevallo residents and visitors that promotes its natural surroundings, health, regional history, environmental education, arts and agriculture.

Park Opening

Shoal Creek Park informally opened in 2015 with the creation of an entrance and parking lot. It was formally opened in March 2019 at Love Montevallo Day where Montevallo celebrated the new pavilion, which includes two restrooms and covered picnic seating, and the SCP bridge. The SCP bridge links the park core (the Perry/Mahler homestead area) to the over 125-acre western area. A few months after the grand opening, the Frank Arnold bridge was also opened. This bridge links the park core to the western side and allows a beautiful loop trail, called the Betty Loop (after Elizabeth Mahler) trail. This approximately one-mile loop trail follows Shoal Creek and crosses the two bridges.
