About Helena's Riverwoods

RIVERWOODS located in the City of Helena

Helena, located in North Shelby County, is synonymous with rapid but controlled growth. The pace at which we are developing has allowed us to maintain our small town charm, yet gives us the resources necessary to provide the services that our citizens and businesses need and deserve. Helena has grown into a city that offers a lot of the conveniences of larger cities yet still maintains its family-oriented atmosphere. There are many pointes of interest in the City of Helena. Enjoy summer concerts, sundown cinemas, Kids fest, the Buck Creek Festival and 4^th of July celebration at the Helena Amphitheater in Old Town Helena. At Joe Tucker Park there are walking paths around the lake, tennis courts and picnic areas. Cahaba Lily Park offers a playground, picnic pavilions, walking trails and swing sets. There is also a state of the art Sports Plex offering all of the league sports activities. And don't forget to come out for the Christmas Parade or on Christmas Eve when Santa rides through every neighborhood on the fire truck!
