Railroad Park is aacre green in downtown Birmingham that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of our great city.

I’ve been going to RR Park for as long as it’s existed. I have donated money to this park. Today I was laying in my hammock near the skate park next to the creek because I like the relaxing sound of the water. Reading a book, minding my own business. A security guard approached me and told me that “those things are not allowed in the park.” I was suspicious this was just some rule he made up since he didn’t even know what a hammock was called. I reviewed the park rules and no where does it say NO HAMMOCKS. Because that makes no sense at all. There’s no reason that should be a rule when people are laying on blankets in the grass. If their argument is that the straps could potentially harm the trees...dogs are digging up the mulch in the bushes so I guess dogs shouldn’t be allowed at the park either!!! See if RR park ever sees another cent from me!! Absurd!

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.

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.

A great walk for the whole family. Bike, skateboard, scooter friendly! Great place for a picnic!

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.

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!!!

Love Railroad park! Cant wait for Covid to be over, I miss the outdoor Zumba class!

I understand about the PandemicBut 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 .

Awesome park right in downtown!! Beautiful trails and scenery! Nice to just go and walk

I absolutely love Railroad Park! Its Birminghams 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.

Love the park, so sad but glad, the play areas for kids are temporarily closed due to covid-19....

First time visiting. Awesome place to just be outdoors. Great scenery. Theres small creek ponds with coy fish and ducks. The grass is so soft. Theres plenty of shade under trees. We stayed until night fall and theres 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.

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.

This is Birminghams 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. Were so in LOVE with Railroad Park!Absolutely recommend this special place.- Live Free PhotographyBirmingham, AL Wedding Photographer.

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..

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 someones wrist.

I love the view it was refreshing watching the sun go down and the sky change colors 1000000 Stars for me.️

Beautiful park, with very nice trails. As someone who loves watching trains, this is a great place.

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!

Tremendous green space in the middle of urban setting... great asset to the community

Wonderful park in the middle of the city with fresh rosemary along the paths and beautiful native grasses! Ducks, ponds, recycling and trains!

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.

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.

My kids love this park and we have always gone there even before they were toddlers its so beautiful and the trail is awesome.

It was nice and clean. I got some great exercise as well.

I love going walking or just relaxing on my break

Its clean, pleasant- Its not too many places as pretty as here in Birmingham. Plus there are many great restaurants close by.

Nice place, very well kept!! Pretty good for sports and stuff, definitely a chill for longboards and skating. Highly recommend a visit!!

Always an enjoyable visit. Plenty of walking, playing, and whatever else you want to do. Good place.

Beautiful clean park, had my engagement pictures taken here!

Found foot traffic to be light and park well maintained. Pretty little spot in the city

Nice, wide open park. Lots of people exercising. A joy to watch the trains go by.

Had an awesome time meeting up with friends at the park. The park staff was very accommodating.

Very nice place to relax during lunch, have a run/walk or spend some quiet time.

Keep walking. The view keeps getting better

Love to go running and ride my Hoover Board great place to do out with family and friends

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!

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 youre free.

Railroad Park Foundation was really enjoyable. Masks arent 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.

I definitely recommend. Very beautiful and peaceful area.

Great place to exercise..take pictures or just take a break!

Excellent park, very enjoyable watching the fish in the pond, the water feature and abundance of shade

Beautiful area within the city with lots to do in the surrounding areas.

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 .

Nice park very beautiful

Its 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.

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 Birminghams revitalization.

It’s a beautiful park, but when I went, it was packed. Wouldn’t recommend going during the afternoon on a weekend.

Beautiful park. Well laid out for most activities.

Great place to go and chill. Restaurants directly across the street a plus.

It can be more color. The water coul be cleaner. Fish living in dirty water. I just like the walking trail but thats it.

Loved it. It was my first time going and I found a place of peace. I will be visiting more often.

Always a great place to run, walk or just hang out.

Its a beautiful place to go but you might be asked for spare change from multiple homeless people in the area. Its great to give but some of them will pester you for money.

Blu cant wait to get back!

Great place to walk, picnic, bike, hang out. Family friendly

Its a nice place to walk, have a picnic, relax, nice view, and central place to meet.

Birminghams living room. Always worth the trip.

The park is great way tp do your walking for your daily exercise

Its a very peaceful and serene place to exercise or just relax

Beautiful, open space to walk and play. Great place to go during COVID-19!

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 theyve 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 everytimeIll 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..

Gorgeous park!! It is so fun to watch the trains, feed the fish/ducks, attend events, and get yummy treats.

Great for the family, skate boarding, . Security is out watching out for the community.

Really clean and well kept....I love feeding the ducks and walking the different trails around the park

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!

Can be a little crowded sometimes but overall I love working out here

Did you see what time of the morning this park is open? A cold day but a good walk.

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.

Beautiful park where you can see the skyline of Birmingham.

Its a great place to relax, eat lunch and hang out with friends.

Best place ever. Enjoyed sooo much!!

First time visiting Birmingham. Gorgeous setting and beautiful location set in the city.

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.

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...

Great place to be help clear the mind

A really nice park with great areas for persons to walk, play and just enjoy the area.

Wonderful place to sit, have some lunch, and relax for a few!

One of the new jewels of Birmingham. Great place to get some exercise or just sit and take in the atmosphere of the city.

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.

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.

Its a good place for relaxation

Late evening with family... Good place

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. Its very nice.

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!!

Its a beautiful park.Great for a nice stroll,a football game or lounging and watching the ducks in the pond!!

A beautiful place in downtiwn!

A nice & relaxing park.

Beautiful Scenery. Wonderful visit

Absolutely love this Park!!! Great nice clean environment to get fresh air, while letting the kids have fun!

Serene experience and amazing park for evening walk or just feeding fishes.

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.

Me and my boyfriend loves Railroad park it nice n clean

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!

Always a great clean park to go to.

With everything going on, it very difficult for my babies that dont understand cant play at park

The park is nice.. And the walking trails will give you a nice workout.

Awesome great for social gatherings.

Amazing park with body of water, bridge and nice design
