Rough Riders Park

Rough Riders Park is dedicated to the Rough Riders football team and their unique and special part of Decatur's history. The Rough Riders were a semi-professional football team. The team was formed in 1959 when another semi-professional football team needed an opponent for a special event. The team had very talented players, many of whom could have played for college teams. The Rough Riders team was special in that it was integrated in an otherwise segregated South. The park amenities include a covered pavilion with electrical outlets, picnic tables and restroom facilities. *Restroom at this facilities are only available during pre-approved rental times.
