Birmingham's Railroad Park

Today was a perfect summer day to once again visit Railroad Park in downtown Birmingham. It was overcast, less humid, and there was a breeze. Ninety degrees did not feel so bad! It was not such a perfect day for iPhone photos but I hope you get a feel for this beautiful park with so much to offer.

From the park's website:
Railroad Park is a 19 acre green space in downtown Birmingham that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of our great city. Situated along 1st Avenue South, between 14th and 18th Streets, the park is a joint effort between the City of Birmingham and the Railroad Park Foundation. Hailed as "Birmingham's Living Room," Railroad Park provides a historically rich venue for local recreation, family activities, concerts, and cultural events, while connecting Birmingham's downtown area with Southside and UAB's campus.

Running and walking trails, summer concerts, dogs and strollers, free exercise classes - an urban park for everyone. It is exciting to see so many people enjoying the park.

A public park where you can get bottled water for $1.00??

Unheard of here in California.

Also, can't believe no one commmented on your post on Guv Perry. Perry, Bachman and Palin. What a trio. It goes from bad to worse, doesn't it? At least IMHO.

Discovered your blog a few weeks ago and am so glad I did.

leilani - Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. We have an amazing park and I'm very proud of it. Birmingham, despite its history, is a wonderful place (although it is in Alabama!).

Guv Perry made a huge impact in Birmingham on Friday. Most Alabamians just love that kind of BS.

I welcome your comments. Have a good week!
