Spacious, beautiful and has lots of small creeks/runoffs that really add to the beauty! The restrooms were cleaner than I expected, although there wasn’t any paper towels available. Air dry was the way! LOL There was a gentleman set up to take photos for Easter. He was charging $30 for 5 photos that he edited and airdropped to your phone. I was so glad he was there offering this service! I loved the nostalgia of the ice cream trucks there! Expect to pay $3-$5 for an ice cream. I remember asking my parents for CHANGE for the ice cream truck. Now I have adequately aged myself. 😆

4.5 stars Great park centrally located across from Regions Field. Nothing was open as far as vendors or even restrooms as far as I could tell, but security was walking around. Great place to jog, walk your dog, and generally just hang out. Large playground with plenty of water features and accessible walking paths. BLACK LIVES MATTERS painted on the street, which I appreciated... thank you Birmingham. Quiet day on a Saturday late morning but definitely got a little busier by the time I left.

Great place to visit in Birmingham. There’s tons of walkways and places to rub/walk. There’s ponds all around too, so there’s a ton of wildlife. I liked how there were things to do around the part too, so you can grab a coffee and walk around, go to a baseball game or go grab a beer or bite to eat. Super kid and dog friendly, great place to visit if you’re stopping by Birmingham.

This is a lovely green space in the city. I enjoyed the morning walk around the park. Views of the city and the active rail lines nearby. It is very interesting to read of the history of the area and the growth and changes over time.

I love the fact that there is so much space to work with in this park, it feels so open and spacious. About as good as a park as you're going to get with a little touch of railroad and train noise to go with it. 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃 Environment: Everything is so colorful, photographers will love it here, and so with families, kids and people who regularly exercise. Wish I could taken more but there was just so much beautiful scenery and nature. I've seen people with towels laying on the grass because apparently it is very soft so that might be a cool idea for stargazing. Not really much else to say, except the fact that it is a city park and they are underrated however coming at around 4:30 PM on a weekday, that is a lot of people. Whenever you're in Birmingham, PLSS GO!! 😇😇
