The West Blocton Coke Ovens Park, established in 1996, is a captivating destination nestled amidst the remnants of 467 ovens that once produced an impressive 600 tons of coke daily. These ovens, constructed in 1887, played a significant role in Alabama's industrial history as one of the largest complexes of its kind in the state.
With its scenic walking trails, picnic tables, and a charming boardwalk, the park offers a serene environment to unwind and appreciate the natural beauty of the surroundings. Amidst this tranquility, the historic beehive ovens stand as a testament to the crucial role coke played as a vital component in the iron-making process, alongside iron ore and limestone.
