Robert Cardinal Park

Welcome to Robert Cardinal Park and Tuscaloosa National Airport in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, home to the University of Alabama.

This park, first established on September 17, 1981, is named for a WWII veteran and active member of the community who served as the regional airport manager from 1968 until he passed away in 1977.

The picnic area has a grill so you can cook some meats. Come out and watch the planes arrive and depart while the kids play on the playground or try your luck at the disc-golf course.

To contact the park office please call 205-562-3220.
