9. Railroad Park
In the heart of downtown, award-winning Railroad Park welcomes locals and visitors alike to picnic, bike, or stroll amid 19 acres of manicured green space. Abundant trees, seasonal flora, and several water features contribute to the peaceful atmosphere, while a detailed history wall presents a timeline of the city’s development over the past 150-plus years.
10. Rotary Trail
Nearby, the beautifully landscaped Rotary Trail (pictured on page 1) encompasses four blocks fit for walking, running, and cycling. The Birmingham Rotary Club commissioned the project, transforming an abandoned railway cut into a poplar and photogenic area for outdoor activities amid the urban sprawl.
