HGTV Names Bienville Square Alabama’s Best Park
HGTV has selected the best public parks and green spaces in every state, and Mobile’s historic Bienville Square received the honor for Alabama, Mobile Bay Now reports. HGTV noted the park’s connection to Mardi Gras while also crediting the recent renovation following Hurricane Sally in 2020. “Today, Mobile’s Bienville Square is the site of the state’s Mardi Gras festivities. This historic park takes up an entire city block and also hosts events like weddings, live concerts and Kids Days. Damaged by Hurricane Sally in 2020, the Square reopened in spring 2024, just in time to mark its bicentennial. Its large trees, iconic cast iron fountain, lawns, benches and paved paths make it a favorite,” the article said. The origins of the park date back to 1824 when the federal government reserved the plot as a city park, and it was eventually named after Mobile’s founder Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville.
