HistoryEdit
The 236-acre (96 ha) state park opened as Bridgeport State Park on land leased from the Army Corps of Engineers following the construction of Miller's Ferry Lock and Dam in 1969. The park was renamed for state senator William Roland Cooper in the 1970s. It was one of several Alabama state parks that were closed or saw curtailment of services in 2015 following state budget cuts. The park re-opened in September 2016 under a management agreement with a private contracting company.
Actvities and amenitiesEdit
The park features cottages, campground, fishing, and boating facilities.
