"This is Mobile's most important municipal playground. The park is named for Pat Lyons, who for many years was mayor of the city, and who took deep interest in the movement that gave the children of the city places to play, to swim, and otherwise to amuse themselves. The city of Mobile is nationally famous for its renowned 'Azalea Trail' - 17 miles of beautiful floral blooms which includes the perfuse flowering shrubbery in Lyons Park. The entire city is a mass of color from late winter until early spring."
