Reviews of Railroad Park Foundation
BradandJen McCleary
Fun park with lots of sights to take in and things to do! The trail is a nearly perfect .75 so two laps makes a great 1.5 mile loop around the outside. Loved working with the staff when we hosted a race here. You get the beauty of a park with the metro surroundings! Cool setup, if you’re in the area - check it out!
Sara Bauer
I love visiting this park. I just went for a walk after work today with a friend and we saw multiple photographers taking advantage of the golden hour. So many dogs running around and playing! There was also a small workout class going on that the park hosts. Such a beautiful asset to Birmingham!
Tracy BrownBeauty
It was a magnificent experience with my girlfriends yesterday at Railroad Park! The Rotary Trail was a joy and was safe and beautiful to see with plenty of bikers and walkers to boot. Love love love the atmosphere here and the beautiful lofts and businesses nearby are a huge plus all in walking distance ❤️
Sam Fantaye
Railroad Park offers a well-maintained, refreshing respite in the middle of the busy corridor. You'll enjoy the art work highlighting the timeline of the city's history and prominent figures at the main entrance.
The park features great spots for outdoor gatherings, jogging, exercising, walking your furry frinds, and enjoying a relaxed day by the pond.
The park comes alive at night with its inspiring great lighting. Better yet, You'll enjoy a wonderful sight of the city's skyline from here.
Parking is available on adjacent streets and the park is accessible through trails that traverse the park from multiple directions.
Trupti Shinde
Great place to spend time with family…
This park is beautiful…
Beautifully landscaped greenwood
Not crowded in the morning
Definitely suggested for mediation and relaxation…
Miguel Patiño
Always a place to enjoy. Fresh at the Birmingham downtown area close to the Regions field stadium, pubs and coffee shops. You can walk in it or around in the way to Avondale.
Angelia Bowdre
Great spot to hang out, to walk, run, relax or just see the city skyline!🙌 There is a really nice pond on the side of the park by the train tracks! Food trucks are normally somewhere around!😊 Still an amazing beautiful spot to go for picnic, exercise, hang out with good conversation. …
Mira Taylor
This park is so beautiful! This is my go to for a nice walk. They have nice ponds with beautiful fish, turtles and ducks! It's a great place to take pictures because of the nice scenery. There's places for skating and picnics. They have the best events here as well.
K Rowland
Pretty downtown park with great views of the cityscape and the occasional trains passing by. Very walkable too, which was a nice touch
Shanna Lasko
Amazing! When I'm in Birmingham, Alabama I love to visit this park. It's pretty big. There is a lot of scenery to look at. At night, they have beautiful lights that come on and light the walkway. The kids always have a great time playing on the play ground. We can not wait to come and visit next time we are in the area.
Brian “Brain”
Gem of a place in Birmingham. A must visit for anyone who enjoys parks.
Katelyn Pratt
Me and my son have always loved Railroad park...never been there at night but it was just as magical as it is in the day time...this time we got to enjoy my sons father too an it was a wonderful night as a family..and this place gave that too us
Emily Armstrong
Visited this park from out of town. Beautifully landscaped green space. The play structures are a bit small for older kids, but great for wee ones.
My kids enjoyed the experience of seeing the trains go by. I loved that the park was designed so that you can see the trains from a safe location.
Many lovely water features as well. We saw some ducks and turtles.
Fe Scott
Thank you City of Birmingham, for the amazing concert presented at the park, the set up was great and we had a ball.
Joshua Lucas
Absolutely loved my walk around the path. So much scenery, very very well kept up and maintained to such a high standard. Everything was so serene and beautiful! Perhaps my last visit was a much needed escape, having me time.. meditation.
As do they have venues and concerts at this location. I had an awesome time and no hassles start to finish. From parking, feeling safe, to just enjoying myself - thus getting to focus on different aspects of detail with my time there!
Latoya Brown
We walked under the fog filled sky onto the upper ramp, over the water, and enjoyed the glow from the lights around the city. It was such a romantic evening.
Ian Beltz
Nice park where a lot of people go. Will have some small events every so often. Always a good and clean place for kids and adults. Good view of downtown buildings and stations of transportation, trains(passenger and cargo) , local and far (greyhound)bus routes. Regions baseball feild
Shaurita Hutchins
It's the best park in Birmingham. It's near Red Cat Cafe and Hero Donuts. It's a perfect place to find shade on a summer day.
Live Free Photography
This is Birmingham's best public park! Gorgeous landscaping and close to amazing food + shopping. One of our favorite places to shoot romantic couples photos. There is always space to wander or relax, and the vibes are perfect. You can grab your special someone and snap some amazing photos.
This definitely feels like an open space in Austin, or Nashville. We're so in LOVE with Railroad Park!
Absolutely recommend this special place.

Love riding my bike there, also really enjoy watching others enjoy the place. I find a pleasing vibe there.
Myra L Walker-Williams
Beautiful place to spend a quiet, romantic, or special evening. I enjoy putting on the headphones and walking around enjoying the sites. Many afternoons I take the grandbabies to tire themselves out playing. Beautiful place to go whenever you're free.
Robert Muhammad
This was a family education trip, my children had no ideal what Black people had to endure and on another level, still endure to this day. It had rained us out but, the short time there was well worth it. To GOD be the glory!!!
The Book Of Abby
Railroad Park is always full of amazing families and people doing such fun activities. The scooters are a blast to rent, and the playground is made for little kids.
Sheng-Chieh Chiu
Worth a stay after a busy week!
PlainJaneGaming Bee H
Beautiful, lots to see and do. Beautifully manicured property. Great place to walk the dogs, get some exercise, watch the ducks in the pond or have a picnic.
Jesus Ledezma
Great Park, nice scenic route
Debra Bell
Awesome place to relax and unwind with my grands
Eveie Edgar
Tons of activities, fun fact signs, water and big spaces for dogs or kids! And its next to the railroad so it’s fun seeing the trains pass by!
Garret Grove
Came here with a few classmates last semester. It’s a very nice park in a bustling part of Downtown Birmingham. We had a great time and wish we could have stayed longer.
A lot of couples looking for photos come here. We had one guy walk up to us and ask us to take a photo of him and his fiancé. Who knows, maybe I’ll be asking someone to do the same thing one day!
James Lee
Great place for walking or jogging. I love the way the restrooms are kept clean.
Rebecca Ray
So peaceful. Places to sit everywhere. Trickling streams and 2 ponds with a waterfall. A Running/Walking/Scooter path completely around it, starting up above by the Train then down low at water level. There are ducks, turtle and Koi fish. I love it 💖 …
Phd Taurus
Nice trail for biking and a cool little play ground work out area and 3 bowls for skateboarding
OSHENT SIANO
A little park in downtown good for walking, running some outside classes, skates and everything else.
Lisa Jordan
Really enjoyed the symphony in the park. Railroad park is fun
Rusty Humphries
Nice park. I’m sure I missed something, not quite sure why it was called Railroad Park. But it was nice.
Derick R
Nice scenery, with a semi relaxing atmosphere. Would be nice, if they allowed patrons to charge devices on their numerous padlocked outlets. At least during hours of operations .
Preston Holloway
We took a little trip downtown to the winter wonderland thing this year. I had been to he park several times over the years and it is always pretty sedating. This was a new experience though as there were screaming children and nervous adults as kids took turns face planting into the ice. Surprisingly they kept all of their teeth and continued to limp around aimlessly. My hethens seemed to do very well for their first time and only dove butt first into the ice. We made good memories on this trip. Five stars.
Saadiyah Smith
I love this park its multifaceted has new construction different paths an area to have parties or the like and I just enjoyed the way it’s set
Michelle Murphy G
First time visiting. Awesome place to just be outdoors. Great scenery. There's small creek ponds with coy fish and ducks. The grass is so soft. There's plenty of shade under trees. We stayed until night fall and there's rainbow colored lights in various places. That was a great experience for my young children. People with dogs had them under control and behaved. It was truly a mixture of birmingham neighbors. Nice park.
Grymoria
My walk there was peaceful and everyone there was minding their own business and having a good time.
Gordon Ryerson
Large downtown park with lots of trails for running, walking and biking. Beautiful open lawns and landscaping. Great place to enjoy nature and the outdoors.
B Taylor
Enjoyed a walk in downtown. Restrooms available and plenty of shaded places to sit even plenty of tables. Some food vendors available.
Savanah Hatcher
Railroad Park is a great place to relax with friends and family! Free hangout space and comfortable atmosphere, parking is a hard spot but its so worth it.
Joe Watts
Great park for just enjoying a beautiful day, but a wonderful walking track with a soft material that makes walking easier. The area has dramatically changed here, in large part thanks to this lovely park. In addition to people watching, you can see some good birds here--from Peregrine Falcons snacking on pigeons to Yellow-crowned Night Herons, Chimney Swifts and swallows soaring overhead and ducks in the ponds, this is a great place to enjoy Birmingham's revitalization.
Pam Amundsen
Have visited many times and always enjoy the atmosphere in the park. Such a great place for locals and visitors to engage with the history of the city.
Stephanie Griffin
Absolutely love this Park!!! Great nice clean environment to get fresh air, while letting the kids have fun!
Derek Dean
Situated almost in the center of downtown and several nearby venues, this park is like a heartbeat to Birmingham. Whether early in the waking hours to late after the sunset you'll catch people walking/jogging, biking, skating/boarding, taking their pets for a stroll, exercising, or just meeting to conversate. It's a hub for people to gather and enjoy the city. There are also daily exercise classes offered around 6pm from yoga to jazzercise (schedules found online). Plenty of parking up and down the street but can get full with events going on or on weekends.
Lashonda Bennoman
Great place for everyone in the family to enjoy. And if your little one is like mine and love trains definitely the place to be.
Anne Fuqua
It’s always a great day when it involves an afternoon at Railroad Park!
Cody Ramirez
5 years going and this is still my favorite spot in the city. I find myself mainly going in the winter for some reason or another & then there’s also Covid. The various trail patterns, corners of the park & slight inclines are also great for varied circuit workouts. Here’s my favorite shot from Christmas time. As you can see the Regions Wreath in the building lights.
Ben Podbielski
Awesome public family friendly space! It's really nice to just go out on a sunny day and sit in the grass on the hill.
Anthony Davis
A great walk for the whole family. Bike, skateboard, scooter friendly! Great place for a picnic!
Jeanie Shea Realtor
Spacious, open and a great place to stroll, catch your breath and unwind from a busy work week - that is what Railroad Park is all about. Young and old alike, kids on skateboards, couples holding hands can all be seen at Railroad Park. If you are into exercise, make a loop around the park and enjoy the sites and sounds. I love the city backdrop, the water and greenery. Put it on your to-do list this Summer.
JoAnna Aldridge-Wilson
A really nice park. I believe it's 4 city blocks. The sun was blazing the day I visited, but there are a few areas, which offer shade respite. The water areas are relaxing and I saw folks from every walk of life there.
Avaria Jordan
Amazing day. The weather was perfect. My son and I had a relaxing time feeding the fish and turtles.
Rob and Christi Fondren
Pair it with City Walk for the best family day out in Birmingham. For the VERY best day, rent a Veo scooter and tour downtown.
Travis Nichols
Nice green space to watch trains go by. Well lit, lots of parking, good amount of people.
Micah Thompson
Visited for the Alabama Symphony Orchestra in the Park. The venue was very clean and plenty of space for us to sit and watch the orchestra. The park was well lit after dusk and provided a sense of safety for an evening walk. Great work keeping the park clean and well manicured!
Joanna McClain
Good area to visit for physical and mental health. The lay out appear well planned to turn off of varies routes to oncoming runners, walkers, bikers and 🐕s.The area is open enough to view for safety. I'm thankful to have the park. …
John Yong
It is centrally located near to the downtown. The landscape is really inviting and welcoming. The stroll around the two lakes was refreshing. It is within a walking distance to the other attractions in the downtown.
Kaz Soul
I like to visit the park every so often to go for a walk and to relax. It would be a little better if they had more tree coverage but it's mostly a nice park.
Beverly McGinnis
Clean, safe. Great place to e exercise, clean restrooms, properly managed,helpful staff,
Savannah Gloff
Great place! I can't wait to experience the ice skating rink tonight. There was great music and nice pathways. The koi pond and ducks were fun to watch too. The waterfall is the perfect background for a photo. I love that in a big city there are still nice places to have a picnic lunch. The only negative things were: a car was broken into while we were there and there were small rats running around in the bushes.
Muhammed Alhakami
Railroad Park is aacre green in downtown Birmingham that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of our great city.
Emma Cipriano
Great place to walk, picnic, bike, hang out. Family friendly
Lynn Terry
I have about a hundred Railroad Park photos on google! Excellent place for family or time for solitude . Exercise trails are superb as is the surrounding atmosphere. Snacks are drinks available if you get thirsty. I believe there’s free jazzercise type of exercise open to anyone on?Monday evenings.
Ellenie Lou
I had a great time here with my friends!! Although it was unsufferably hot outside, there's was 2 different playgrounds and lots of walking space, there was also access to bathrooms, and seating to relax and feed any wandering birds pieces of your bread.
Renay Ransaw
It's always have fun here the kids love... now all they need is a splash pad!
Phatima Hudson
There's loads of police presence here. Not sure how I feel about that. BUT they actually look like they are part of the community, not armed assasins. The place itself, is meh.
Yaser A
A wonderful place to walk and gathering the green field is well-trimmed but lakes need a lot of work to maintain water life. The look to the field next to the Park amazing especially when they run for work during the weekends and the game time.
Different things like workout activity can be done here, the train gives you the feeling of old days and the artwork give you another look at Birmingham downtown.
A possibility of renting an electrical scooter around the park, the last thing is the availability of security makes this place a destination for a lot of people where they seek safe outdoor places.
Thank you for being different
kijah davis
I love the atmosphere and positive energy. This is a very clean park no bugs or annoying insects great for picnics,skating,excersise,and events.
Sarah Lynch
We love Railroad Park, walk around it several times a week. Always pretty, clean, and safe.
Jason Gaston
Safe, clean, family-friendly park with amazing sunsets...
Ashley Wiley
my favorite park in Birmingham. every time i come to town i make a trip there. the walking paths are extensive and the pond is beautiful
Telisha Dennis
Wide open spaces which promoted social distancing. Various attractions to fit individual needs such as a workout area, a big grassy area for picnics, try outs, for dogs to play and photography. Also good for a brisk walk and or sprint around the park as well as interacting with the ducks in the pond. If you just want to sit outside near water and eat then this park is it with it's available table sets and near by bathroom
Jacquelyn Wonsey
Beautiful park with a variety to do and see. You can grab a Zyp bike and ride along the path, work on your summer body in the fitness area, watch the sunset, or perfect your skateboarding skills in the skate park. It was a truly relaxing stroll and wonderful end to a day of exploration in Birmingham.
Cicada Musselman (Kelly Marie)
Oh my goodness gracious. Yet another amazing Birmingham Park. Beautiful. They have bathrooms, sometimes they serve alcohol they have places to sit, places to lay down a beautiful hill to watch the sunset. A little bit over designed. They also have security all the time places for people to play, rock to rock climb, they have a playground. They have a skateboarding Park bull. They have a Tire running track. They have plenty of space and trails and free parking. It's really just amazing. go here.
Deborah Dickinson
I had a non-traditional Mothers' Day celebration at Railroad Park and I loved it. The park is beautiful. There is plenty of room for the kids and dogs to run and play. And the walking trail is great. Great job, BHAM.
Alexandra Duverger
Spacious and quiet park in downtown Birmingham. Next to the train track. Our toddler enjoyed the playground (enclosed is a plus). We found plenty of space to park. People go there to skateboard, run, play or just relax.
Joyce Johnson
Ducks, rental scooter, benches in court, waterway, many trails for walking including bridges,plenty greenways and just generally a wonderful area.
Elliot Jacobson
This is a very laid back park to visit. Very active and worth a visit during the day. If you know Birmingham, then I'd recommend going with a friend. I've visited several times playing Pokemon Go or just enjoying the outdoors and its been great every time.
David McMath
It’s a great place to walk your dog. And see some beautiful birds. And get a donut. And a cuppa coffee.
scotty royal
Great park with the outdoor ice skating rink for the holiday season
chandra mohan
This place is amazing well maintained , good for several different physical activities. Plenty of car parking space is available and it is free.
Danny Estas
Railroad you are the perfect start to my day I love everything about you ❤️

Many events .. great place for pets.. walking jogging... Kids area... Fish .. ducks ponds .. very relaxing... I recommend this park!!!
Felisha Chaverst
It's a beautiful park.Great for a nice stroll,a football game or lounging and watching the ducks in the pond!!
Ronald Redd
Great park for people of all ages and activity level. Has a wonderful kids area, outdoor work out equipment, skate boarding area, and nice grassy area. Centrally located in Birmingham and will definitely return soon for more family fun. Grest use of an outdoor space near Regions Field.
Jocelyn Vigneulle
Great place to take kids for a walk, workout or just enjoy Birmingham!
John Waites
Our family loves Railroad park and all of the surrounding area! The Rotary trail and Good People brewing are nice highlights nearby as well. Beautiful fun place.
Greg P
beautiful and clean park next to railroad tracks. Infrequently disturbed by the sounds of trains. Plenty of shaded sitting space.
Laney Smith
Had a blast doing the Alice in Wonderland game by Clued Upp. Beautiful park!
Chris Willis
Super nice place. If your planning a picnic some places hold water for a few days after rain so you may get wet sitting in the grass.
Shawnte Thomas
It was peaceful. The hubby and I took a stroll after grabbing a smoothie nearby. Can't wait for the World Games to start...
Mark Fox
Absolutely Beautiful park. Great for family outdoor activities. Got to check it out! There are some goldfish that are over 4 feet long in the main water Area.
Jyun-Syun Li
Beautiful park where you can see the skyline of Birmingham.
Rosalind Lewis
Did you see what time of the morning this park is open? A cold day but a good walk.
caity buford
Favorite park in the city for long dog walks! There are a few trails that intertwine with each other so you can meander about. There is exercise equipment and a few play areas intermittently and signs with exercise ideas and lots of little seating areas around the lake. Tons of open green space and there is an area for skating. It's always clean and there is usually a park ranger type person walking around.
ELee
Beautiful park. Love the walking space
scott bolton
This is a beautiful free public space to enjoy relaxing, viewing gorgeous scenic city scape views, exercising. Also i sensed a safe overall public environment there. It was special to see the trains going back and forth. Oh, the park itself is uniquely beautiful, with ponds, running water brooks, wild grassy sections and open fields. There are places where skaters can challenge themselves and a padded walking path that encircles the perimeter.
Linda clark
First time going to railroad Park. IT was very entertaining. They had different groups out there talking to you about different things . And they had Logan the entertainer performing free concert. A wonderful place to go walking and finding vendors on the side if you get hungry. I really enjoyed it.
Zachery Simmons
This is a very beautiful place. Very peaceful and relaxing.
Simple Adventure
One of the new jewels of Birmingham. Great place to get some exercise or just sit and take in the atmosphere of the city.
Syderia Houston
Soooo peace out here. It was beautiful to enjoy the nature
Daniel P
It is a really nice park, with nice walking and running trails. Places to do skating and skateboarding, but the parking is on the side of the street so it's challenging to get a spot. They have a lake with some koi fish and turtles in it. The railroad is next to it so you hear the trains going by. Overall, a good park to be in. Be sure to use navigation to direct you there since many streets in area are one way streets, and you don't want to go the wrong way down one of those.
Alonza Lewis
The park is clean a great family environment it the best part of the southside
Tam And
We had a picnic in the park! Unfortunately due to the sun's amazing radiance we had to find shade. We ended up finding a spot near the water and enjoyed ourselves!
Wesley Huddleston
Lot's of space to spend time with others in a safe and secure environment. Restrooms, vending machines for drinks, etc. Mopeds and stand-up scooters to rent. Lot's of scenery, fish ponds, ducks etc.
Litha P
Relaxing. I love walking and doing things out there. There's food places you can walk to that's really good. Concerts in the park. Exercise in the park.
Patrick Nolan
Nice open space but the area has a lot of homeless. We witnessed one cursing at a older man just walking his dog. If you go just be cautious and awear.
Scott Yancy
It's an amazing park! I stopped by today and walked around for the first time. There was many great places to spot trains and to take pictures. There was also very close parking spaces without you having to pay for them. I loved my visit today and I will definitely be back!!
Nicole Richardson
Its very nice and family friendly. There are area's for walking,jogging,throwing footballs or etc.. The land is even and smooth not rocky and rough. A good area for numerous exercises.
Ping Vuong
Very good walk here
Shreyas Srinivasa
Nice vibe, decent people, plenty of space to relax in nature.
Jobaida Akther
A good place to relax in the weekend afternoon!!!
2Lisa RadfordHughes

shirley jones
I went when there was an event! It was a great place to see the community of diversity!
Kevin Rene
Beautiful outdoor park, plenty of space to spread out and spend a day with family and friends! Walking trails, plenty of room for skateboarding in or biking.
Kimmara Pattrice
Great place to sit and picnic or just chill.
Michael Carver
A really nice park with great areas for persons to walk, play and just enjoy the area.
Carlana Martineck
Great local park.
Alexander Goughenour
This is an absolutely fantastic park. So thoughtfully laid out and we'll maintained. Three paths intertwine through the park. Options for walking, dog walking, running, and biking are available. A few elevated scenic view points provide great excuses to stop and catch your breath. Coffee shops and restaurants on the corner of the park are a plus. In the middle of the park you can find vending machines, water fountain, and restrooms. The water fountain and restrooms are currently closed due to Covid-19. This is the perfect place to walk your dog. Dog clean up stations are available around the park.
Cynthia Pittman
"AWESOME!!!"
Our Grandson had an amazing experience 💙🙌😍!!!
Of course he didn't want to leave!!!😄😄😄 …
Erin Jackson
Fantastic, well maintained park in the middle of the city. Great place to exercise or just relax. Police presence both times I’ve gone just as a security, the park feels incredibly safe throughout. Places to eat and grab a drink around there plus free parking.
Michael Henderson
Really pretty park that was fun to walk through. Was very impressed with the design and upkeep.
Terry Green
First time visiting Birmingham. Gorgeous setting and beautiful location set in the city.
Emmet O'Neal
Only critique is that it would be an invaluable place to come at night if it were better lit. Birmingham needs a nighttime green space. It shouldn’t be uncomfortable to be outdoors in downtown Birmingham right after sunset. If you come here anytime after sunset, there’s no one here.
Bryan on gaming (ARC-1)
A very nice park, this park was filled with birds, pigeons, doves and other birds. They have fish also and nearby you can see a nearby train track so that the train can come by the park. Its pretty amazing that you have a chance to see a train near a park. You can see planes taking off or preparing for landing. This is best for viewing with binoculars and have a good view.
Amin Sherzad
It's stunning, great place to have fun with family!
Venecia Evans
I love the way this park sparkles with beauty in the daylight and even at night.
Mel P
Always a great place to be.
Jeri Pool
This is the spot to be early evening in Birmingham, even when the Barons aren't at Regions. The fitness installation at the East end is always clean and rarely crowded. The trails are plenty wide to jog among the strollers. Lots of grass area. The restrooms are clean and always stocked. Sit in the shade and people watch. Walk up to the higher spots and watch the sunset. There's a coffee shop and a brewery close by as well.
Kenneth Rehme
Nice place to walk and jog. The parking can be a challenge.
Nexx Phaze, LLC (2ndtwonone)
Had to take these beautiful pictures!
Mike Dixon
Very nice, clean area, nice city, love the way they reused old land, we are going historic tour from here thru the city, I let you know how that was.
Brandon E
Great park smack dab in the middle of town. It's beautifully designed with a modern flare. The park is equipped with restrooms. I felt safe in the park. There's also security on site which added an extra layer of comfort. Highly recommend a visit
Raymond Kent
Awesome. This is a fantastic park for everyone. Whether taking a free group exercise class, out for exercise on your own, walking the family pet, letting the kidsrun around to blow off steam or just people watching... A very clean and ultra safe environment with 24/7 video, physical security and police presence. This park has it all. The park has beautiful views of the city skyline and is open until 11pm. There is no smoking.
Rayvon Murray
Its a very nice place beautiful a great park for the entire family to ride bikes, skate board, picnic take pictures!!!
Deborah Price
Stopped by after leaving dr. With my daughter and granddaughter To eat lunch..it was soo nice..after lunch we walked around and fed the birds, turtles and fish..my grandbaby had a great time and it was a good learning experiece.. really it was very relaxing..looking forward to returning very soon with lots of bread. The bathrooms were very clean...security was there walking around. You will truly enjoy this place..I hadn't been there since it first opened..it great!
Udayakumar Karuppanan
Very good place for family and children.
The park got a beautiful ponds with colorful fishes, turtle and ducks.
Very spacious that any outdoor games can be played.
It's good to go on weekend evening.
There is a small swing and slides for toddlers.
Teenagers may cycle rather randomly so please be careful about that.
It's a good place...
AdvocateGwen Brown (Advocate2022NAL)
Great place.
Parking is very difficult if you don't know the area or if events are taking place.
Wonderful scenery.
Lynetta Carter
We love RAILROAD PARK. The kids never get tired.
William Bondurant

Working in the park was so much fun..so many options enjoyed by o many different people at all times of day!
Tiffany Youngblood
Took me ages to get out here but I was really impressed. The atmosphere here is all energy and excitement. Great views of downtown as we walked through the paths. I only went for walking but they have bowls I guess for skateboarding and there were some exercise classes going on at the pavilion. Saw lots of kids playing at the playground!!
Alfred Davis
One of the nicest parks in the city. Great walking trails with varying walking surfaces. There are small vendors that pop up around the park year round along with some longstanding options (coffee, event space, baseball, food) that are within walking distance.
Park stays open well into the night. When you first find it come during the day, but give it a go at least once at night. Great calming environment.
I will continue to return to this place in a regular basis.
Khoreo LaRue
Railroad park is beautiful, and a great place to work out.
Katalina Ibarra-Williams
Great park. No restrooms or playground equipment at the moment due to Covid. Still, wonderful area for kids to run, play, ride bikes, scooters, skate, play soccer, hacki sac( not sure of the spelling) or many other activities. I enjoyed spending time there with my daughter and grandchildren. It was a beautiful place to see in Birmingham, Alabama being from Roanoke, Virginia.
David Oakland
Sensitive environment, playful spaces interprets a salvaged industrial landscape.
Frederick Hanks
It's a nice and cozy Park running area are you far classes which they do have picnic area and two vendors that are located in the park there are trees for shade and 2 area for concerts

Nice place to walk and enjoy outside.
Jason Gibson
Great little gem in downtown BHam for photos at sunrise
Alexis Ward
Keep walking. The view keeps getting better
M. Hall
My very first visit here and I was so impressed with this park. There are different walking paths and each path has a different foundation. Please read all the green signs posted along the paths, they'll explain features that you may not have noticed at all. Great job on the landscaping as well. Pet friendly and a couple play areas for the kids as well.
Ms. Steen
People walking dogs workout leash.
Scenery needs attention.
What's happening to the water???
Fish are nice to watch.
BØRED ??
The best place to walk and exercise. I love the atmosphere and the pets that are brought out are well behaved. Great location and accessible. Good parking.

Birmingham has changed a lot. Always liked it, but now it's even better. Too bad it's in Alabama.
Ami Measel
Great Photography Spot!! Love it!
John Galliera
Great place to bring the family, during the day.
Hustle Moore
This park is beautiful and well kept. There is no trash on the ground and no loitering at all. I even seen a Caucasian American couple on their wedding day take pictures out here. It's very nice.
Jane Doe
Great place for families, skateboarding, skating, & bike riding. There is a man-made pond & creek that are in the park as well. They even have a concession stand, drink machines and bathrooms all conveniently together. People often like to take pictures in the park, as well as have Fitness classes, not to mention there are concerts and festivities held there throughout the year.
Jessica Sabouh
Lovely little Park with a small playground and waterfall area with fish in the water.
Nirzari Gupta
Serene experience and amazing park for evening walk or just feeding fishes.
Chloe P
This is such a nice park! Clean and beautiful. Has nice bathrooms, a great lawn to picnic at and let dogs run around, and great places to skateboard. There's a walking trail that encircles the park and playgrounds along the sides. Ice cream trucks frequently park on the sides of it. Lots of dogs.
Mark Ware
Beautiful park with tree lined walking paths. Dog friendly, kid friendly, and family friendly!
Tina Smith
Met my daughter there after evacuating for hurricane Ida. She roller blades there. It's been a while since I've been there but it's a very safe and cool place to hang out with family especially kids.
Misty Nicole Williams
The park is a nice place to go and walk or hang out. It is clean and it has several different things to do. Great for all ages. My son and I threw in the open area and then he played on the rock climber and then we walked the tracks. We will definitely be back.
DanTripz
It is a great place to get out and enjoy the area but there are some sketchy people. We were in a group of about 6 people and this guy walks up to our dogs and pets the same dog 4 different times without saying anything to us or giving us any space. One time he tried to pull an apple watch off of someone's wrist.
Marshall Mooney
This is a great place to relax, play, work out, or hang out. Today I enjoyed playing kick ball with coworkers while people pushed strollers and others played soccer. I have visited railroad park several times and have never had a bad experience. I'll be back. If you love a day in the park, please click "like".
B D
The city has done a wonderful with Railroad Park. It is beautiful and a great place to take your family. Get a doughnut at Hero or grab a coffee and pastry at Red Cat if you want a really good day while you're there
Kira'Cole Harris
Excellent trail for running jogging or walking. Safe and lit for the sundown routines. Someone told me they show movies on the big screen which is called "Family Night!" I have to experience that soon.
C W
We were in town to run a Half Marathon that started and ended at the park. Such a nice green space in the city. There are several trails, benches and photo opportunities in this clean park. It has street parking, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a spot early on a Sunday morning, and there are pay lots not too far away. It's also walkable to another multi-use trail and eateries.
Jerlyn Hudson
This park is great! There are some shaded areas on the open grassed area where my family and I set up to have picnics! We also enjoy playing volleyball and soccer as well out there! This place has so much too offer such as a workout area, walking/running trail, refreshment bar, pavilion, public restrooms and more!
Kurt Martig
A wonderfully designed, maintained, and programmed park for resurgent downtown Birmingham. Absolutely worth a visit.
J. Lanier
Great place to relax, people watch and for me enjoy roller skating on a warm day.
E Johnson
Railroad Park is always a great choice. I have been for leisure, a wedding, and several events. It offers play areas for kids, seating for adults and shaded areas. It also has an area to ride bikes, skate, run/walk. Beautiful landscape as well.
Jeff Byrd
Nice park. Pretty scenery.
Bianca Wilson
Railroad Park Foundation was really enjoyable. Masks aren't required but sitting is still not allowed. Families, puppies, children were exercising, playing, running feeding the ducks, and riding bikes and scooters. It was quite peaceful!!! You will enjoy your time out there.
Matthew “The Joker” Lambertson
Very beautiful park. Has a playground for the kids. They also have an outdoors gym area open to the public at no cost to you. They have a place to buy food, though I have never tried it. They also have designated areas for those that like to skate board. Across the street from Regions Field, and a few bars near by. Usually have fish in the ponds.
David Olsen
They have done amazing things with this park. From keeping it clean and beautiful to hosting weekly exercise classes and great events like "Symphony in the Park.” I love to come here with friends, run and workout. It's a much more beautiful place to get fit than the gym.
Jayanti Vedi
It's a nice place to relax, unwind and detox, especially best season now in the evenings.
Chanse LaShai
Always love coming here. You see tons of different kinds of people, and you can chat up strangers and learn a bit too. I usually longboard while I'm here and it's a nice track for learning. I've enjoyed tons of different activities that have been hosted here and there is always security. It always is clean and tidy. Very relaxing.
evan Christian
Awesome Pokemon go spot to walk around.
Larisa Everhart
Best for Pokemon Go players! Perfectly safe to be there after dark and has tons of pokemon. Homeless not allowed. Open till 11pm. And they clean their restrooms about every half hour. Yes, they have restrooms, drinking water, tables and chairs, benches and plenty space to walk. Even a playground and an exercise corner. If you want to take a walk, there is the best in town after dark.
Majik City Mike B
I love this place! There's something for everyone. Workout area, a creek, playground, a bowl for skating or bmx, plenty of grass for playing catch, soccer or whatever people do in the grass. Shade trees, a covered pavilion with tables and benches. A snack bar is open from time to time... Not sure the schedule. Great place to kill some time!
Sharline Woods
My daughter took senior pictures at this park and the background could not have been more perfect any where else!!! Such a nice park with a lot going on all the time!! ☺️
Lewus Steve
Great park in a beautiful urban setting.
April L. Butler
Such a beautifully, well-kept park in the heart of downtown Birmingham. It offers a wonderful, paved walking/running trail that encircles lakes and greenery and leads to more trails down the road. The bathroom facilities are also nice and clean, and with offerings of free yoga under a covered awning area during the week to other events, this is a great gathering place. Enjoy the outdoors in the city here!!
Crystal Stover-Webb
This park is a breath of fresh air amid the hustle and bustle of busy downtown with its constant rushing pell mell to progress and its surplus of concrete and buidlings where people find it easy to forget the simple pleasure freely gained by merely saving a space to slow down and breathe....beautifully landscaped,i love how well it nestles into the space alloted for it, flowing from gorgeous wster features to wide open lawns,housing a workout area along with a walking trail,and theres even a mini skateboarding area! For rainy days or a calm and inviting place to study or do whatever,theres a large pavillion covered area borderjng small fishponds,and the entire park is well maintained and kept beautifully clean,showing the pride employees who get to work here so obviously and rightfully give this little treasure that brings happiness to all who experience it.
Opal Gordon
We were visiting Bham for the week and found this place near our hotel. What a great space for a morning or evening walk. Clean, comfortable, well-maintained. Kudos on the city! It's places like this that make a city livable and gave us such a great impression. I ran through Railroad park during my early morning run. Looked really nice, well groomed, interesting, seems quite new. Would be a nice place to walk or just hang out. Definitely a highlight in the Birmingham neighborhood.
Venus Hornsby
There is always something to due at Railroad Park whether you are just out for a stroll or out with the children. Its something happening be it a concert, yoga, fundraiser, Symphony in the park life is buzzing here. People using it to take pictures of memories of shared love or just a place to sit and eat. I love this park I only wish they would open up more vendors on the other side of the railroad; the kind that sell different foods and novelty items then it would be truly a five star park.
J Waterman
The park looks like a great place to roller blade, walk or run. Already see some damage to the brick benches which are awesome! I was glad to see the green space was well maintained. As we walked through I couldn't help but think about what a pitcher of moss slime could design on the brick benches. There is nothing like lying down on a moss bed that is an inch thick.
Mark Hill
This is a very nice park. Very well kept up, with a skate board park., A play area for kids, a parvilion for eating and during the holiday season, an ice skating rink and a snow slide. Also had a nice walking trail.
Randy Hall
Took grandson to Veterans Day Parade made a 1st time stop at Railroad Park. Still under development but coming along nicely. Saw turtles and a duck in the pond. Took a nice walk around the park. Grand enjoyed small play area. We watched parade from park sidewalk. All a good experience for him.
Daniel Anthony
Great park in downtown Birmingham, it's almost like Birmingham's very own minuscule central park (in a way). All sorts of different people frequent the park from younger generations to older, hip people to athletic people on a run to locals walking their dogs. Great spot in Birmingham to see and meet all the different types of people who make up Birmingham's population. Has several different trails to walk around as well as a central covered area for people to sit down and get out of the sun or rain and enjoy a picnic, but also plenty of grassy areas around the lake to sitdown and have a picnic as well. The city has done a tremendous job revitalizing this section of downtown.
Freebie Babe
Beautiful and relaxing scenery.
Rian C
Being in downtown, the park brings in every people from around town especially when an event is going on. Parking can be challenging, but at least it's free. The layout is really nice, segmented into areas that would suit different activities. The meager trail around the park makes for a good walk after lunch/dinner, slight elevations gives you a glimpse of the cityscape.
Justin Rogers
There is always something to do at this place and it is always amazing. You can walk around the park looking for Pokemon, take your kids to the playgrounds, grab a bite at the concession stand or any of the restaurants around the park, run around the matted running trail, feed the ducks by the pond, bike around the park, or take in any of the fantastic events held there regularly. Also if you're looking for a great place to take wedding/engagement/family pictures the park is a great backdrop.
Melanie Taylor - Coleman
My favorite spot in the city !! It is a such an amazingly beautiful place in the middle of the city. I love to go right after dark and watch the trains. There is always security on duty and normally a couple of police around as well. I have always felt safe and enjoyed every visit.
Abhi Saini
Beautiful park near downtown. Lots of green space to enjoy time with family and pets along with many trails for walking or biking.
Jasmine S
Very nice park in Birmingham. Good place for walking and taking your pups outside! There’s always something interesting going on, never a dull moment.
Juano chavarin
Its a family park were you see many people taking pictures of themselves or the park. Its a park were you can walk, play or exercise. The lake, the walk trail the close and far building gives you plenty of angels to take endless pictures.
Tylan
For a park, this place truly has it all. Stunning views and ducks! It’s a photographers heaven for sure. Got kids? They have a place for them to run and play. They also accommodate a playground for them. Got pets? It’s pet friendly! During the summer they have frozen ice drinks and also have ice skating during the winter. Not to mention the rainbow bridges and waterfall. All of Birmingham stops and stares at this perfect park!
EPICSHE
Nice park over all! My husband and I enjoy going here on the 4th of July to see the fireworks. The park has public restrooms, eating area, snack stand, and across from Regions Field where the Barons play baseball. Only problem I have is parking because spaces tend to fill up quick at this park.
Devin Plowman
Went ice skating here over the winter holidays. The park is a great place for kids to play and it also has a great trail or path for running on. It is also very beautifully landscaped.
Melissa Howell
Nice city man made park. Beware warned: parking is a nightmare during schedule games and park events.
Lora Benson
Nice park to get out in and do various activities. Walk, frisbee, lay on blanket, skate,movie nights, kids areas.
Too much to mention all. Many benches and seating areas, public rest rooms, security in the area. Always crowded on weekends.
Handicapped accessible.
M
Very hard place to find via GPS. When using my GPS via Google it placed me 3 blocks off from the actual park. I had to ask locals for directions. I will be editing the GPS coordinates if I can to try and help others. All in all, excellent location for a picnic, taking photos (which is why I was there) or having a get together. On busy days parking is hectic, if it's a local event going on expect parking to be insane. I enjoyed my time here.
Sandra Ervin
I love early Saturday morning walks/jogs. Plenty of space and trails to choose from. You will accomplish more miles than you expect. Great place for socializing and family outings!
Robert Smith
Very nice, neat, beautifully well kept park. Perfect for everyday use. Perfect for exercising, family trips to park, picnics, party's, enjoying nature, personal pictures, family photos, mingling with family and friends. Meeting new people. And much, much more.
Amber Marshall
Nice location and views. Bicycle access and nice spot for photos. Parking can be a little bit hard depending on time of day. Someone told me to check out the daiquiri spot next time and a baseball game.
willie moon
Nice park you will have a good experience here nice scenery and has a few playground items for kids.
robert burnett
Nice place. Security is good in the park, but not any the three blocks away you have to park.
Shanney M
I love this park! The landscape is beautiful. It is very relaxing. There is always fun activities happening here. Not to mention great place to walk and get in exercise. It is family friendly as well.
Lauren Benson
What a beautiful park, and cool way to celebrate Birmingham. I've visited several times, and the landscaping and design of the park is so aesthetically soothing. It's really nice to be able to ride a bike or walk and see the city skyline, and to be close to good food and attractions at the same time.
valerie mcdaniel
A very nice area to take your family and your pets. They have play areas for the kids and they have a swing for a child with special needs (bonus). The track is there if you want to run or walk a few laps. I forgot to mention the little area for the skateboard lovers. They even offer a free Zumba fitness class in the evenings.
Steve Russell
Nice place to take a walk or a jog.
Banshi Kat
So glad that railroad park is here. Beautiful land, a lot of places to get artistic photos or just chill. The events are fun but not so crammed in that you can't find a good day to just relax.
Yuri Monroy
It's a small walk trail park, but it's beautiful! It's great for a morning jog or to spend time with the family. It's also next to Regions Field Stadium. I decided to search for a park to do my morning jog, and after a couple of attempts, I found this place! Did I mention this park offers FREE WIFI!!!!
Jennifer Brown
Railroad park is like those parks you see on the movies bit in real life. Very clean, active and secure. A lot of places to take some good Instagram pics.
The bathrooms are the cleanest I've encountered for a public park. It has wifi and is surrounded by nice shops.
Kim Griffith
There are so many different things to do here: skate boarding, trick bikes, scooters, until July 3, ice skating.
Drea Stroup
Many nice trails, water bodies, ecological areas and beautiful views. Well kept and safety oriented.
FeC ENG
Between the fitness classes, trails, playground, food, and easy access to hot places like Good People and the ballpark, Railroad Park was a great addition to the Bham revitalization movement. Seems to be a heavy police presence. Nice place to go in the afternoon. People ride bikes and skateboard in the area. Nice to see fun activities in the city. Occasionally has events there like the Darter Festival, etc. Definitely recommend.
tom pruitt
If you live on Parkside of town, you are already aware of the "Gem" of a place we all share. Railroad Park.
Shared by the many residents in the area, photography of couples is popular.
So is walking, and bike riding, skateboarding, running, picnicking, train watching, playing catch, or a little game of touch football.
I could go on, but you really need to see it to appreciate it.
A GREAT green space in the middle of an area of Birmingham which is growing in a good way.... A responsible way.
If you are living in surrounding suburbs, try our space with a loved one.
The only reason I gave a rating of 4 was because, in spite of Covid-19, there should be a way to incorporate a vendor or two.
Brooke Fultz
The kids had a blast running in the sprinklers from one side of the park to the other. They also enjoyed the ducks and fish. Had a picnic table and chairs with coverage were available.overcast made it much cooler today.
Mark Sherer
Such a nice park in the city, close to good restaurants too
Paola Salas
Very nice park to walk around with family
Joel Ezekiel
Nice park to walk around, apart from that not much going on
zania barnes
I bring my kids here all the time and we love it
Carley L
My favorite place to go walk, but they should definitely replace some lights around upper walking trail it gets really dark at night.
Toby Conn
Beautiful Park for anyone to enjoy. They always have friendly staff and good food and Ice Cream and now even candy! A great place for walkers, sports players, joggers, bikers, skateboarders, etc. Thanks Railroad Park!
Brittany Lil Bae Davis
Pics for Less Photography takes great pictures at Railroad Park beautiful landscape
Dana Buchanan
I only gave it a 4 bc I don't think any outdoor park should be non-smoking. Otherwise it's a beautiful park w huge koi fish n turtles to look @. A padded playground for the little ones, & skate bowls for the bigger ones..ice cream trucks n food shops, as well as region field baseball park :)
Ben McGraw
Railroad park is a really cool place to walk or longboard it's very inviting during the day, but also has cool light effects at night. Unfortunately they do not let anyone in after dark and have guards scouting out the place for homeless people, so it is a lot less inviting at night to say the least.
Virginia Walker
Beautiful park, went here to kill some time while my car was in the shop. My daughter ran on the beautiful walkways and entertained herself for several hours. Very peaceful and pleasant.
Drew Lasater
I absolutely love Railroad Park! It's Birmingham's shared back yard. There are always families walking and playing, couples on dates, parties, events, exercise groups, and best of all so, so many great dogs to meet and pet. Being so close to breweries, restaurants, and Regions Field helps, too.
A McKinney
First visit today, for the most part the park is clean. We did see several mice running in the grass by the concession during the day which was odd. The park was crowded so we had to park a block away and someone made an attempt to break in my huband's car. I would love to know what type of fish are in the pond. I like the fact there is security at the park. My visit was enjoyable.
Elisha Morris
Great walk with my family. Lived sitting at the pond seeing all of the fish and turtles.
David Davenport
Great place in a concrete jungle.
Todd Bolcar
A gem of Birmingham. So much to do for all ages: playgrounds for kids, plenty of walking trails, picnic areas, snack bar, ice skating in the winter. All in the heart of the city. Food trucks and small shops line the park so you'll always have somewhere to eat and parking is spacious if you know where to look. Always worth visiting when you're in the area, whether eating lunch or taking a stroll.
Stephen Royster
Railroad Park is a very nice and quiet park in Birmingham, AL. It has very strict rules to go by. Very good security. Two little eateries across the road from it. The Birmingham Barons base ball park is across the street also.
Georgette Hauser
Beautiful park in the middle of town. Very clean and quiet.
Beth Thomas
Love this place. Go there in the afternoons to walk after work and before going home. So many areas to walk. You can change it up and not be bored.
Carlous Muhammad
it is a wonderful place relax and eating your lunch
Eric Ferrell
Great place to go for a run during your lunch break
Nathaniel Bibbs
Beautiful place, clean, a lot of nice places to sit and eat and enjoy life...
Joe Impello
Busy spot for outdoor activities in the heart of the city. Great place to walk the dog, play Frisbee in large open grassy areas. We had the kids birthday parties there years ago. Stroll thru the park before heading across the street to catch the Birmingham Baron's baseball game. Today we spent the day ice skating with the annual "Burrmingham" outdoor skate park.
Collin Spradley
This place is perfect for a walk, run, playing with pets, or just sitting in the sun. I love coming here and being outside for a few hours. Being in the heart of downtown Birmingham it offers a variety of food and drink options within 3-5 minutes. I love this place.
Shae Greene
Went here with my sister and her new puppy and it's a gorgeous park! It's a long strip of land and everything is well kept and gorgeous. Would recommend for picnics and fun.
Robert McCormick
We went for the ice skating. The rink was small and it was rather crowded when we got they, but after it had thinned a little it was more entertaining. The kids had fun and the hot chocolate was good.
Patsy Jones
It was great today!! During my walk I saw a bale of turtles. Always something beautiful and interesting to see at Railroad Park.
lauren stephenson
Defiantly a great day outing with yourself or family or friends! The park is so nice, it has a walking track/bike track and a beautiful pond with big koi fish in the pond!
Adele Agredo
I love RailRoad Park! Love how much they’re trying to bring people together and how they provide free daily activities. I like to go do Yoga on Thursday’s every chance I get, great instructors! Only thing is that if you don’t have certain social media accounts, you wouldn’t know if class is cancelled or not.
Jerry Seals
Park for all to enjoy. Whether photographer, cyclist, picnic date, walking a dog, or just feeding the fish or ducks. Peaceful and friendly environment
Eric F.
Railroad park has been an important piece of the revitalization of this part of Birmingham. We've enjoyed a few company events here, as well as Symphony in the Summer or just walking or playing.
The park is well laid out, with a good track for walking or jogging, around some nice fields for sports or events, and nooks with playground equipment.
Justin Robertson
Very clean very well maintained park right near the center of the city. Playgrounds for the kids and trails for the adults. Various entertainment and resturants pepper the border once you've gotten you fill of the outdoors.
lily R
Clean, well kept. Nice place to Walk
Shelli Tipping
One of the tunnels is much better than the other. Park is clean and a great place to walk, skate, bicycle, or just hang out.
Vicky Reid
Normally this parks lighting is all around the the track where you walk but this night it was really dark in many areas there was a police officer out but he seem to be with his family.There was a small group exercising so people were out there,but still needs lighting...
jovonna hudson
My daughter and I go there to feed the fish, ride bikes, exercise and play. The atmosphere is awesome and very welcoming. They offer free exercise classes during the week and they have free concerts from time to time.
Peterica Hall
Attended the 2019 Heart Walk and it was beautiful weather and it was an awesome attendance for this year. Railroad Park was the perfect place to have this event. Loved the scenery and the ducks!!! Perfect 👍 …
Taylor Ray
Railroad park is my wife and i’s favorite place in Birmingham, not only does is hold a special place in our hearts because we got engaged here. Its always so beautiful and nice to walk around! They always have something going on and it’s nice to see so many people out enjoying the day!
Michael Garrett
Nice park. Not very big, but it's got a nice walking path. There's also an open area for events. The park is well maint6 and you can get a nice view of the city from parts of it. Next to Regions Parl.
Taylar Andrews
A very nice clean place for the Family to go and experience fresh air in a calm environment.Kids will have a blast. Bring balls,scooter,bikes,kites, and/or whatever your child likes to play with.
T McC
My only disappointment here are the restrooms are closed as the pandemic is high. I dont visit here a lot but ive been working out and my gf is helping me with this as i have back ingury problems. Im so glad they've started bzck trimming the grass and they have these cute sign that BCBS out out to encourage exercise!! We do them all and ima tell you ..you get a full workout. Instead of walkin around the park my 3 miles everytime
Ill go across the street and walk around the Baseball field (Barons) to get the same result and its not as many ppl to avoid or run into..
Citizen Zero
Very peaceful and serene environment...
Jessie Pratt
Peaceful atmosphere was very quiet and a lot of entertainment🔗🌿💖😄💎💪💯!!
Updated Since the Coronavirus-19 has been out you can't set out right now but it's still okay to Exercise and be careful about it because it's not a Joke it's the Real Thing, But it's definitely a Better Place to get out to Exercise and catch some air 😇🙏♥️😍👨👩👧👧💪✌👊!!!
William Butler
Such a fantastic place to go walk in the evening. Feels safe all the time, even after dark. There's always families with kids there. Just make sure the Birmingham Barons aren't having a home game before you head over because you'll never be able to park if they are.
C K Gamble
Great place to walk. It my hope that the park will update the playground equipment. The park needs to add another playground area with more swings. Only saw two swings.
Jonas B.
Take the dog. Fly a kite. Play frisbee. Feed the ducks. Take a walk. Enjoy the day.
ALBERT THOR HARSTVEDT
Had a nice walk thru the park with my 2 sons, my x wife, and one of my son's girlfriend. There was a beautiful sunset as well...
Nikolai Krestinksky
Favorite Park in Birmingham!
Matt Carstensen
Beautiful park at the heart of Birmingham. Close to downtown and Uptown. Next door to Regions field and Good People brewery.
Great place to run. During the winter months, they put in an outdoor ice rink.
Shaye Chancey
My kids love this park and we have always gone there even before they were toddlers it's so beautiful and the trail is awesome.
Regina Lavender
Best park in the state of Albama! Safe n pet friendly! Miles and miles of walking space to enjoy. Food stations available. Can't say too much about parking space. You just have to get there early n enjoy your visite. Most importanr, Railroad Park is clean and plenty of bench spaces to sit upon n enjoy lunch or watch others skate! I did!
AM Rotter
Railroad park is a wonderful addition to Birmingham. Wish there was a bigger playground, but still 5 stars bc it's just so nice. Walking trails, ponds, a skate park. Also, lots of trains to watch, which is super interesting. Definitely check this park out.
Carl Murray
The park is nice, right across from Region's baseball field. The area has under gone revitalization so most of the surrounding shops, hotels and buildings are new. The park yoga classes and workout classes in the evening.
jt 1
Water fountains don't work well, but this is a great park. Plenty of activities and classes to participate in, beautiful view of the city, very relaxing.
Lauren Crandall
Such a wonderful place! I am so glad Birmingham has made it such a place to be. There are classes in the evenings of all types, and tons of grass to play. You really can get it all here. Theres a work out spot. A playground, walking trails, even some romantic spots.
Cinnamon
It's a great place to go for a job or to take your pets for a walk. It is so peaceful that I wake up every morning just to go and jog there. Would always recommend.
Maryam Suleiman
I think the railroad park is a very delightful place, especially if you go with your family. It is a very beutiful place during day or night. I think everybody should have the chance to go there at least once.
Kebee Williams
Lovely place to enjoy a great date or even family and friends. My church family and I had a ball watching The Barons game on a beautiful Sunday evening after church. We will visit more frequently. Thanks for A GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!
D. Crawford
Beautiful park with three level walking trails. Dogs are allowed but I wish they were not, people won't clean behind their pets although bags are provided.
Jeremy “JerBear”
Beautiful park to go for a walk, skateboard, walk your dog, collect Poke Stops (if you play Pokémon Go). If you are there at night, it is really beautiful. The fountain behind the Vulcan statue cycles from Green to Blue.
Brenda Blue
Children love to feed the fish in the pond, play ball, climb, watch the trains, run, and now the ice rink is being assembled for winter. Walkers, runners, skateboarders, families, lovers, or being outside to meditate: Those all work here.
Lovely spot.
Sarita Colvin
So thankful for the free exercise classes! Thanks BCBS!
Ahmed E. Radwan
I went there many times. Free WiFi and fitness club. You can enjoy the little lake or enjoy the special road for bikes when you are cycling. Great place for family gathering outside.

One of my favorite parks in the city. It's so great to see all of Birmingham's population out and about. Really nice atmosphere, great open spaces, and dog-friendly!

Railroad Park is a hub for people in the city. My uncle from NY recently visited and was impressed. Always good for fresh air and rejuvenation. Parking can be challenging at peak times. Friendly security officers.

Wow, Birmingham actually did something right. I would never had thought that someone could take all that rundown ancient industrial property and turn it into a beautiful park by the railway. I'm impressed. It's not in a very good area, but they seem to have plenty of security personnel and cameras all over the place. Good job Birmingham.
Charles Dunn
Beautiful park in downtown Birmingham!

Great park on the Southside near UAB. Free wifi. Little shops are popping up nearby. Great for exercise, dog walking, often hosts festivals (ice skating in winter), and more. Walking distance from UAB. Regions Field right next to it. Parking can be tricky. Nice escape however. Good security and police presence. Clean. Food shack on site. Never a disappointment!

This was my first time to visit and I brought my six year old boy..we were quite surprised its very nice and well kept lots of things to do .. We played ball and walked around the pond there are a few food trucks and we had some Italian ice and a gelato.. We had a great time, however if you have to park a few blocks away like we did leave before dusk cause for a single mom carrying a lot of stuff and trying to watch your little child the walk back can be kinda sketchy..so just to be safe ladies 😊
Alejandro Reggeti
Park is amazing! There is plenty to do in the park. From kids playgrounds to a mini outdoor gym, this park is scenic, historical and useful. Will definitely be coming here as often as possible!
Melissa
Walked there from home, about a mile, and it was great! The park was full of young, old busy and relaxed alike! It was so nice to see all the people out in the city!
Kimberly Thrasher
Beautiful Park! Nice, clean. Friendly staff & security. Great place to walk around, or sit to clear your mind, read a book, etc.
Bradley Sherwood
Great place to come to and enjoy some outdoor experiences. All year round there are events going on here so there's never a full moment. Check out their calendar for upcoming events and come enjoy some genuine fun!
Jill Pearson
What a hidden gem to find in the busy city
Angel
Met up with some friends for an afternoon picnic with our babies. It was easy to find parking and we were all able to sit out and enjoy the afternoon on the grass.
Krystal Lawrence
Great place to bring family, this park is right next to the trains so they can easily be viewed but separated by a guard rail for safety. The majority of the "exibits" along the park are made from repurposed industrial left overs mixed with traditional park equipment. This is also a mecca for walks and arts and crafts shows etc....
Haley Kennedy
Wonderful park! Such a benefit to downtown living in Birmingham. The water is full of wild life and the park has great options for wheels or feet!
Ja'Qualen & Alexandra C
We enjoyed the green space during our visit in Downtown Birmingham. The views are spectacular and our family loved the park and how it is being used.
Martin Bell
Its Beautiful Place to Walk to eat ..... But we had gone there for the Hydrocephalus Walk for Beautiful niece and for others who has it ....
Mike grant
Played football and rode bikes with kids and had a good time. People friendly
J C
Beautiful! Great events. Pet friendly, clean, secure and across from regions field. Parking can be a little tough, but workable. Restaurants and coffee shop nearby.
Jessica Williamson
Love this park. Great for working out, enjoying the outdoors, family gatherings, a ton of different activities depending on events. It's a blast everytime I attend this park.
Darryl Weatherspoon
Railroad park is very clean. It has a relaxing atmosphere. I do wish there were a media center. This would allow people to use their computers by accessing public Wi-fi
JD Ferrell
Nice place, very well kept!! Pretty good for sports and stuff, definitely a chill for longboards and skating. Highly recommend a visit!!
Jermaine Fikes
It was so awesome I can't put it in to words I will tell everyone to go and visit it
Joetta Malugen
I understand about the Pandemic
But the restrooms need too be Open .
With plenty of sanitation products .
What do you do if you cam not use the restroom while at the park ?? Or if the children needs to use the restroom .
Christina Grassi
the park is beautiful this time of year it is a great place for children to gather and enough space for social distancing while you get to see the trains go by
Spencer Stantis
Wonderful park for taking a break and just walking around. Surrounded by all kinds of cool places, good people's brewing anyone. Plus it's got a lot of pokestops.
Shedrick Flowers
This is a very nice, clean park. I can't say that nothing will happen, but it appears to be pretty safe as well. Security is never too far away. I have only been there once after dark though, so my review possibly would change.
Jessica Barnes
We always love the Alabama Symphony Orchestra's music in the park, and this year was no different. We just went on Saturday because it rained both Friday and Sunday, but we enjoyed the atmosphere and the music!
Saurabh Rahurkar
Great little park that is revitalizing the town. The ducks in the pond are super friendly and the covered lot has a lot of programs. Love the symphony in the park that they have annually.
Opal Hall
Went there today. Just walked around. A nice, free resource for the community. Has reasonable bike rentals so you can cruise around the city. Enjoyed my first visit.
Jerry Collins
Beautiful day in the park. Not to crowded. It was nice to have a solo musician playing Christmas music. It really put me in the spirit.
Jonathan Warner
Beautiful park that I'm so glad I could visit as a break from being indoors. Do keep in mind the bathrooms are not open due to covid at least during my visit
Edward Casey
Beautiful design with free Wi-Fi, a food stand, nearby places to eat, plenty of places to catch the sun. Lots of places to sit. Walking, jogging, workout area, kids play areas, skate boarding and biking. Train watching for those interested. There are large grassy areas to play on or to lay down on. There are ducks who made the water ponds their home.
Corinna Bass
The most beautiful Park in Birmingham, Al!! And so big! You can chill on a grassy knoll, do yoga, or run along the path, or bike, or play on the multiple playgrounds, or grab some coffee, or sit under the pavilion, and this place even has ice skating, now, for the holidays!!
Diamond 85
I take my kids to Railroad all the time large field for them to release all their energy, nice play area, feed the ducks and also they have different activities for the family to participate in on certain days and most of all people just out having fun, relaxing, and just enjoying themselves!👍 …
Angelia Taylor
Wonderful Spot!! Great place to walk and run! Beautiful views of Southside and Hospital District! Birmingham Barons Stadium is across the street! Downtown Birmingham and the Arts and Culture district is only a few blocks away! So Proud of the upgrades Birmingham has made in the last few years!! #ProudtobefromTheHam
Nathan Joly
Came here Dec 23rd for ice skating. Born and raised in Vermont so I thought it would be a good time. Beginner skates that don't tighten or support the ankles correctly, ice is soft that it causes tracking issues instead good ice to skate on. It's a recipe for sore ankles. Was enjoyable overall but can't skate for more than 30 mins. Would recommend it for the experience.
Rose Manassas
The summer concerts by the ASO are incredible and so relaxing. I love them and my friends and I so look forward to coming to the park for the concerts. In September, I came here for the food truck festival and that was so freakin' great.
Mike Kase
I am always amazed with what the city of BHM did with such a (relatively) small patch of land. Many beautiful trails and great views of the park itself as well as the city..
Nikki Guthrie
Having been in Birmingham for over half a decade since its opening, Railroad Park continues to be a downtown staple. Even living on Highway 280, I make the park a destination when I come downtown. There are plenty of great food options within walking distance but the Park gives plenty of options to exercise, relax, or a pit stop before a Baron's game. A great destination in Birmingham!
Rusty Sears
Nice green space respite in the middle of the city. Well maintained with lots of paths for walking or biking.
Craig Winn
Great green space in the heart of Birmingham. Plenty of grass, walking trails,trees, water, and sometimes people. Not crowded often. Even has a small skateboard park.
Alicia Johnson White

Dennis Sherer
It's an awesome park.
Timothy Richey
Went today with family and dog. Seems to be a very clean park with a nice stream running. Lots of security around, friendly though. WiFi available all over. People where friendly
LuckyAF FPV
Very well designed. Seems to have a lil somthing for everyone. It would be neet if they could add a lil more to skate park section . Basically its two bowls med to small mostly i think their purpose is to jump over the people walkn through. Even maks a good ramp into the lil creek if you can make it past the large to close to skate rock walls .. I dont skate or bike anymore but was always a neat place for events .. Such as the guiness world record for picnic around the world .... Kinda hard to catch out fm there but who hops trains right out of RR park .waitttttt ...

Park is fun. Clean and versatile. You can host events there and enjoy the pond, scenery, and various people.

I love to go to the park and take pictures of my kids we also love having family picnics there.

Fee Johnson
Beautiful view. A little bit of something for everyone
Brian Vaughn
Fantastic urban park.
Lynn Cowan
A favorite place to go downtown. Open space, walking trails, small kids area to play on swings, see-saw, climbing apparatus. Some exercise equipment, bikes to rent and ride. Great view of downtown to take pictures. Right next to Regions Field if you want to take in a Birmingham Barons baseball game.
Helene Weinberg
My first time here. Dog friendly. Lovely place to walk on paths. Nice water features.
daddy cool
Beautiful atmosphere, good for walks, concerts, small group exercises, meetings, etc. It's safe and located in the heart of downtown. I love when I visit Railroad Park.
James Robinson
I love RR Park. I like to do a lap then hit pullups, dips and pushups the another lap and repeat. Killer workout if you push through
Carrie Rollwagen
Railroad Park is really fantastic. It's a great place to run, walk or bike -- several trails loop the park and signage tells you how far you've gone depending on which trails you take. There are plenty of benches, covered tables, and lots of greenspace to hang out or have a picnic. Although lots of the space is in the open, a few places feel more tucked away and private.
The park has free wifi and free fitness classes. It's close to Good People Brewery, the Barons Baseball Field, B&A Warehouse, and the Light Rails tunnels. The railroad runs right by the park (hence the name), and the park also provides a great view of downtown Birmingham.
There are lots of extras in the park, too -- they often serve food and sometimes host food truck rallys. There's a small climbing wall for kids, some skater bowls for skateboarders and cyclists, and exercise equipment that's free for anyone to use.
It's safest to visit the park during daylight hours, but it's really an incredible place to have in downtown Birmingham, and it's worth a visit for out-of-towners, too.
Fred Westrom
Always an enjoyable visit. Plenty of walking, playing, and whatever else you want to do. Good place.
Kris Findlay
Love the Railroad Park! Great to have a body of water downtown!
Tiffany Jenkins
I love this open park to the public, just across the street from Region's baseball field. Its a great place to ride bikes, walk the dog, or enjoy outdoor yoga.
Kristina O'Quinn
The living room of Birmingham is always lovely with a diverse population of visitors. There's something for everyone here.
Hugh Dejarnette
Nice walk. Saw 2 hawks. Play grounds good. On 2 occasions asked for money .
David Hogeland
Great place to relax and enjoy a good walk!!
Ryan Linkous
It's a nice park and the events held there are great. I have one major contention and it's that there is not enough shade at the park. It is so hot in the Birmingham summers that the park is rather unpleasant until the evening.
Giovanni Greguol
Amazing place. Love to coem here to skate board and meet new people. I like the view the lake and the rainbow efects at night. So much wonderful and great things to see.
Zacc Gleason
This is a large park in the middle of a large city. This is a great place to get a little away from the busleing city. There are multiple fields, an exercise area, and multiple walking paths.
Casey Thomas
I was there for the End Heroin Birmingham Walk. It was a beautiful park and a wonderful place to go to hang out with family and friends. A beautiful place with a wonderful atmosphere. So having a picnic there soon.
Eddie McElduff
It shares a good part of history My father retired from the railroad so it special to me. It offers a good walking track, seasonal ice skating and concession stand food and drink
Jacqueline Ellison
Nice place to walk or sit around and relax or grab a bite to eat.Good for walking dogs and skating
Carol Walker
Nice place and meet some nice people getting their steps in around the park.

It used to be WONDERFUL when it first opened. Now it is heavily used. Wear and tear. Overuse syndrome.
Chantel White
Beautiful park. Love the presence of police and security to make you fill safe.
Kaity Craven
Such a sweet sliver of peace in downtown Birmingham. Across the road from both Red Cat and Hero's.
meka Huggins
Always a great place to walk. A very family friendly park.
Robert Russell
Awesome park right in downtown!! Beautiful trails and scenery! Nice to just go and walk
Constance Kilgore
Great lake with a pond and they have live music often. Great place for a picnic.
Tamera Mason
It's a beautiful place to go but you might be asked for spare change from multiple homeless people in the area. It's great to give but some of them will pester you for money.
rena thoms
Didn't expect it to be quite as busy, it has a permanent ice skating area, it has benches and tables, free WiFi, clean tidy places to walk.. Good
N Lucy
The Park Is ALWAYS CLEAN and Security on hand
It's A Great place to Excercise, Picnic or just Walk your dog
Shuntaunia Mahome
Love this park....it is so relaxing...best part of my vacation here
J Z
Railroad Park was an amazing experience to my visit to bham. The city's atmosphere was very welcoming and felt a sense of southern pride that is apparent in the cleanliness of the park grounds. I would consider a move to bham to fully experience the growth of a southern city.
It felt like Las Vegas but without the casinos.
Dee Haywood
Beautiful park and view of our city of Birmingham! I love it when THE train's going down THE tracks when I'm getting my exercise on!!
billy chapman
Always a great place to walk and play on the playground make sure to check out all the bridges and tunnels with rainbow lights. Also packed full of POKEMON STOPS.
Mary Conner
Great place to walk and my dog loves the park as well.
Shane Bright
This is my favorite spot to relax in the city. Just a beautiful park. My son and I enjoy our strolls through the park and looking st the city skyline from the grass.
Samuel Kawell
I often go here for Pokemon go, but it is an excellent park for all outdoor activity. Even though it is downtown, I have never felt in danger.
Cherish Parmer
Wonderful park in the middle of the city with fresh rosemary along the paths and beautiful native grasses! Ducks, ponds, recycling and trains!
Cory Sly
Beautiful park! A nice place to enjoy a little nature inside the city and bring your kids to play.

Jason Whitehurst
Beautiful park. Had a great time picnic'ing with the family
Will Cheung
Nice Park. Fair number of people strolling or running in the evening. In the summer, Best to visit in the evening to avoid heat. Little shade.
MERT SAYGIN
Nice downtown park. Good for walking, running, bringing kids. Small playground is negative however lots of green to play around and lay out.
Chibuike Obinwa
Definitely a great park with lots of open space for get togethers with family and friends.

Have always loved this park since it arrived downtown. Makes Birmingham so much more appealing and I love when the trains roll by!
