Residents enjoy well-developed municipal recreational facilities and services as well as regional attractions like the unspoiled natural beauty of West Jefferson County lakes and forests. Complementing the city's jewels of Roosevelt Park and a well-developed YMCA, Oak Mountain State Park sprawls over nearly 10,000 acres just 15 miles to the southeast to offer horse stables, a golf course, lakeside shopping, and an amphitheater for entertainment and concerts. Golfers can enjoy numerous nearby fairways, while families appreciate the exciting rides and waterpark thrills of Alabama Adventure Park. Known as the "Marvel City," Bessemer enjoys a bright future as one of the nation's best business development sites.
