Big Spring Park

This is Big Spring Park in Huntsville, Alabama during the spring time.

Big Spring is named for the water source Huntsville was built around. Now this park acts as a sort of anchor for Hunstville's downtown museum and arts district. It's a pretty, tree-lined municipal park with lawns, ducks and koi fish. It often plays host for events throughout the year.
