Vanity Fair Park is a historic park in Monroeville, Alabama. The park was built by Vanity Fair Mills for the use of the employees in the town. It was established in 1948 with the creation of a 5-acre (2.0 ha) pond. The park also contains a picnic pavilion (built in 1949), tennis courts (1949), and a community house (1952). The pond was used for swimming until a pool was constructed in 1963. Near the park, but not historically contributing, is a golf course. VF donated the park to the city in 1980.[2]
