Great green space in downtown Birmingham! It really helped jump start much needed revitalization downtown. The park is several blocks long with impressive topography. There are some small hills to add interest but most is flat if that is needed for your walk/run. If you are looking for a challenge, head over to the rolling steep hill. There are plenty of pavement paths but tons of green space for exercise, playing or just lounging. I like that they added areas of water too.

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.

A wonderful park that's at the center of Birmingham culture. Everything from major activism to a family picnic takes place in this park. A great example of the Civil Rights history of the area, also, where many of the new civil rights trails converge. A truly Birmingham park.

As a tourist, I noticed the park was kept clean, and there was plenty of space to run, walk, and relax. If you have children definitely take them here. I really enjoyed visiting here.

Quite an area with kid-friendly environment. The ducks bring a calming beautiful scenery. Could use a little more art to bring out the elegance of the park.
