Hoover East Sports Complex

Hoover East Sports Complex offers a delightful and family-friendly way to experience the Cahaba River in a casual, accessible setting. 1.9 miles of easy hiking trails wind around the sports fields, making for a pleasant walk suitable for visitors of all ages and fitness levels. A bridge provides access to the Cahaba River. This section of the river is often quite shallow, making it wonderfully wadeable for adventurous kids and adults alike who want to cool off, splash around, or simply feel the current flowing over their feet on a warm day.
