Lions Park is a 40-acre public park in Greensboro, Alabama. It has been an ongoing project for the Rural Studio over the past five years, consisting of five new baseball fields, signage, seating, basketball courts, and bathrooms. The latest phase of the park consisted of a master plan that involved a soccer/football field, a mobile concession stand, playmounds for children, and a skatepark.

The park has a central space created by the hub-and-spoke layout of the four new baseball fields. This hub space, termed "Grand Central", is the site of the mobile concession stand, seating, and bathrooms. The spokes of the hub lead to other amenities of the park linking them to this main spectator space. The main spoke connects Grand Central to a secondary hub called the Great Lawn, which serves as an informal sports field, as well as, a central space for the playmounds, skatepark, and existing barbeque pavilion. This was designed in collaboration with Evan Dick, Carrie Laurendine, Sandra Wolf, John Plaster, and Terran Wilson at the Rural Studio.
