The City of Florence has some of the most beautiful parks in the nation! Cities many times our size do not have near the amount of green space as does the City of Florence.

Please take a moment to take a virtual tour of some of our parks. Afterwards, take your family out for a stroll and see for yourself what you have been missing!

Almost all of our parks can be used for special events such as birthday parties and other functions. Reservations of shelters can be made.

Deibert Park

This park was donated to the people of Florence by Dr. Kirk R. and Lillian Cook-Diebert who initially acquired this property in 1952. It was officially dedicated on May 25, 2000.

This acreage was once a part of a large antebellum plantation owned by Judge Sidney Cherry Posey. In 1875 his heirs sold his farm to Charles Posey who had worked these same fields as a slave. Later, Charles and his wife, Amcy, began dividing the land among their heirs and this settlement became known as Posey. According to tradition, Charles Posey built a schoolhouse here for his children and others in the neighborhood.

The Children's Museum of the Shoals is located at the entrance of the park.
