Railroad Park

Railroad Park is a 19-acre park in Birmingham, Alabama, United States, that opened in the fall of 2010. Designed by architect Tom Leader, Railroad Park serves as a green space and a recreation center, hosting music venues, charity walks, movie nights, and other city events. There is an amphitheater that seats 4,000 people. It serves as a green space not only for residents but also for the city’s wildlife. The number of observed bird species in Birmingham went up 250% after the park’s construction. It was created with a special irrigation system to keep the park green while also providing water features such as fountains and streams for the park's visitors.
