The park lies immediately south of the Norfolk Southern and CSX rail lines through downtown Birmingham. It stretches from 14th Street to 18th Street along First Avenue South.

The City of Birmingham, under a management agreement with the Railroad Park Foundation, has created a fabulous public space downtown. I was happy to see it being used heavily even on a cold and cloudy day in December. 

I was impressed by the extent of re-use seen in the walls and seating areas which are constructed from bricks and objects unearthed on the site when Railroad Park construction began. 

This 19 acre green-space was very well thought out and planned. 600 trees are planted with masses of annual, biennial and perennial flowers. The park is 30% water, complete with a beautiful lake and cool rain curtain that is lit at night with LED lights that change color. As you stroll or jog along the parks trails you will see bio-filtrated wetlands and ponds & streams everywhere all irrigated by onsite wells. As the trees start to mature this will only increase the parks awesomeness. 

Well Done Birmingham !

The Park is open 7am-11pm daily. You can visit knowing you are safe as the park is monitored around the clock by a state-of-the-art security system and by rangers on patrol.
