Since the incorporation of the City of Hoover,

Alabama in 1967, its citizens and elected officials

have worked to preserve the natural surroundings

that have enriched the quality of life for so many in

afforded by hills and valleys with old-growth

forests and sparkling creeks. Surrounded by

towering oaks and flowering dogwoods that wrap

the neighborhoods in green serenity, the city is

now flourishing with parks to enjoy nature, sports

and the community.

In addition, the events and programs now

available at parks and facilities throughout the city

provide its citizens and visitors with a variety of

recreational opportunities. The city’s population
