Crawford Murphy Park offers tennis courts, playgrounds, and a dog-friendly area. The neighborhood is walkable, with many residents enjoying the sidewalks and proximity to downtown and midtown Mobile. Local attractions include the Oakleigh House Museum and Callaghan’s Irish Social Club, which hosts live music and the annual St. Patrick's Street Party.
