This revitalized space features a new outdoor pavilion with picnic tables, intended for use as an outdoor classroom, two pickleball courts, and additional shade trees, all designed to enhance community engagement and provide a safe, healthy environment for local residents. The park’s development was a collaborative effort, with numerous volunteers and key sponsors contributing to its creation, reflecting a strong commitment to improving quality of life in Shelby County.

Second of Six Centennial Parks Reaches Completion

Stephen’s Park in Montevallo just became an even greater asset to the community, thanks to United Way of Central Alabama’s Centennial Parks initiative. With a new outdoor pavilion for classrooms and gatherings, two pickleball courts, and additional shade trees, the park’s enhancements were celebrated during a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local leaders, United Way staff, and partner agencies. This marks the second of six Centennial Parks being built to honor 100 years of United Way’s service across Central Alabama.

Second Centennial Park Breaks Ground

United Way of Central Alabama (UWCA), in partnership with the City of Montevallo, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony at Stephen’s Park in Montevallo on August 29th as construction will soon begin on the second of six community parks commemorating UWCA’s 100-year legacy. “United Way of Central Alabama turned 100 this year, and while we were planning what this year should look like, we asked ourselves, ‘What can we do to thank all these communities that have supported us?’” said Drew Langloh, President and CEO of UWCA. “We decided on parks that would bring communities together, and we decided to build these community parks in the ‘United Way-way,’ which is through service and volunteering.”
