Hoover anchors much of Birmingham's suburban shopping and sports scene, starting with the Riverchase Galleria — Alabama's largest enclosed mall, with more than 150 stores under one roof. The Hoover Metropolitan Complex has hosted the SEC Baseball Tournament for years and remains a hub for local and regional sports, while Aldridge Gardens and Moss Rock Preserve give nature-minded visitors a quieter alternative, the latter known for its waterfalls and boulder fields. Golfers can add the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail's Oxmoor Valley course to the list, and Ross Bridge's historical park and resort round out a town that mixes shopping, sports, and green space more than most Birmingham suburbs.
