Decatur Soccer Fields
Directions
are from Huntsville
starting at I-565 & Memorial Parkway
New Southwest Park
The
new Southwest Park
is ready for practice and games for
the 2005 Fall Season. The park includes thirty acres of laser graded,
irrigated, and lighted fields with certified sportsturf which will fit ten
international size soccer fields. The complex will rank among the best in the
South.
Take I-565 from Huntsville. Go past Interstate 65. I-565
becomes Highway 20 and then merges with Highway 31 just before you cross the
Tennessee River. You will cross over the River Bridge. Stay on Highway 31. Go
approximately two miles. Turn right on Beltline Road (aka Highway 67). Go over
the overpass and Adventure Park playground and Wilson Morgan Park will be on
your right. Keep going about two miles and turn left on Danville Road - The
Beltline Mall will be on the corner of Danville Road and the Beltline Road. Go
out Danville Road approximately half a mile and turn right on Modaus Road. The
entrance to the new park will be about a mile on your right. If you get to
Cedar Ridge Golf Course you have gone too far.

Directions to
Southwest Park from Athens:
You will cross over the River Bridge into Decatur on Highway 31.
Once you cross the river, continue south on Highway 31 through Decatur
for about 3-1/2 miles. Turn right onto Highway 67 (Beltline Road). Go
about 2 miles to Modaus Road. Modaus Road will be the traffic light
after Spring Avenue. There is a Home Depot on the left. Make a left onto
Modaus Road and continue approximately 2 miles. At this point, Modaus
Road will be a 2-lane road. Where the road widens into 3 lanes, just
past Cedar Ridge Baptist Church, turn right on the road going up the
hill. Follow the road over the hill to the parking area. The park is
new and is not marked well yet.
Directions to
Southwest Park from Florence:
This is the most direct route and avoids the shopping traffic on the
Beltline. From Muscle Shoals take Highway 20 (Alternate 72) to Decatur and as
you come through the industrial area entering Decatur look for the intersection
of Woodall Road and Finley Island Road with Highway 20. There is a Discount Food
Mart gas station on one corner and a Jacks Restaurant on the other. Turn left
onto Woodall Road. Continue on Woodall Road for approximately 4 miles. At 3
miles, Woodall Road will become Shady Grove Lane SW. Shady Grove Lane SW
(Woodall Rd) intersects Modaus Road. Make a left onto Modaus Road. At
approximately 0.7 miles, Modaus Road widens into 3 lanes. The park will be on
the left but is new and is not marked well yet. At this point make a left on
the road going up the hill. Follow the road over the hill to the parking area.

Sixth Avenue). The Lynn Layton Chevrolet car dealership is on the corner of
Highways 67 and 31. After you turn right go will go about two miles to a
McDonald's Hamburgers. It is on the corner of Highway 31 and 8th Street SE.
Turn right on 8th Street. Follow 8th Street as far as you can go until you
pass the golf course and a soccer field on your left. At the next intersection
turn right. If you go straight by mistake you will be in the Point Mallard
Campgrounds. Follow that road as far as you can go (about a mile). It makes a
huge sweeping curve through the whole Point Mallard Complex. After you pass

complex will be on your left. Look for the tall stadium type lights.
