Decatur Soccer Fields

Directions are from Huntsville starting at I-565 & Memorial Parkway
 


Point Mallard Fields
From Huntsville:
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. Turn left at the second traffic light onto Church Street (at Bud's convenience store). Follow Church Street all the way to the end of the road (almost two miles). You will pass some soccer fields and the Point Mallard Golf Course. Turn right at the three way stop. Do not go into the Point Mallard Campgrounds. Follow Point Mallard Drive into the Point Mallard Aquatic area. Go past the baseball fields (on the left) and the waterslides and wave pool (on the right). At the far end of the park there are lots of soccer fields on the left next to the Point Mallard Stage area.  There are ten tall stadium light poles to identify the soccer fields. New irrigation and sod are being installed in 2001/2002.

Directions to Point Mallard from Birmingham:
 Go up I-65 to the Highway 67 exit. You will exit to the right off of the interstate, go to the bottom of the ramp and turn left (going back under the I-65 overpass). Go about 6 miles and turn right on Highway 31 (also known as 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 the baseball fields (on left) and Aquatic Center (on your right) the soccer complex will be on your left.  Look for the tall stadium type lights.

wilson_morgan_map.gif (7203 bytes)  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. Turn right into the park. Go to the rear of the parking area. The soccer field is located behind the tennis courts and batting cages on the edge of the lake.

Turn right on Highway 20 as soon as you cross the River at the Holiday Inn.  Go approximately one mile and the Leon Sheffield School will be on your left.  The field is located next to the school and is visible from Highway 20.
 

Cedar Ridge Middle School

Turn right on Highway 67 and go about five miles into Decatur.  Stay on Highway 67 and cross over Highway 31.  Highway 67 becomes the Beltline Road. Follow it about three more miles until you get to Danville Road. The Mall is on the left and McDonald's Hamburgers is on your right. Turn left on Danville Road.  Go six or seven blocks to Modaus Road and turn right. Cedar Ridge Middle School is on the corner of Danville Road and Modaus Road. Turn left into the parking lot. The soccer field is at the rear of the school between two baseball fields. It is a very narrow field - only about 42 yards wide by my estimation.  
 

Wolverine Park 

This park is not actually Wolverine Park but rather the area in front of the entrance to Wolverine Tube's Tennessee River Boat Dock and Park.  The land actually belongs to the Point Mallard Park.  It is located on 8th Street SE just before you get to the golf course.
