Paul M. Grist State Park is a public recreation area located north of Selma operated by the government of Dallas County, Alabama. The park offers water activities on a 100acres lake as well as facilities for camping and picnicking.
The park was developed by workers in the Civilian Conservation Corps who built roads, trails, and the lake dam in the 1930s. It was first called Valley Creek State Park before being renamed for YMCA director and community leader Paul Malone Grist.
In 2015, the park was one of several state parks that were closed or saw curtailment of services following budget cuts. After a two-month hiatus, it reopened when an agreement was reached allowing Dallas County to lease the park from the state for 15 years at a cost of ten dollars.
