About the Park
Railroad Park is a 19 acre green space in downtown Birmingham
that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of our great
city. Situated along 1st Avenue South, between 14th and 18th
Streets, the park is a joint effort between the City of Birmingham
and the Railroad Park Foundation. Hailed as "Birmingham's Living
Room," Railroad Park provides a historically rich venue for local
recreation, family activities, concerts, and cultural events, while
connecting Birmingham's downtown area with Southside and UAB's
campus.
