Orr Park isn’t just one of the most unique parks in Alabama. It’s also one of the most unique parks in the entire South. Orr Park is located along Shoal Creek, and its uniqueness comes from the amazing tree carvings created by local artist Tim Tingle.

Many of Orr Park’s cedar trees were either dying or had already died and instead of cutting them down, Mr. Tingle carved them into amazing works of art. Examples of his carvings include animals, storybook characters, whimsical faces, etc. Visitors can view these intricate carvings while strolling along the park’s walking trail (below).
