Welcome to our site–a source for community news and information about Red Mountain Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

Join our volunteers to help make the park a great place for ourselves and future generations.

For the last few years, a collection of individuals, non-profits, corporations, and governments have been working together to create one of the largest urban greenspaces in America (40% larger than New York’s Central Park). In 2008, roughly 1,200 acres was purchased from U.S. Steel and is now owned by the Red Mountain Park Commission. 2012 was a big year for the park: the eastern trail system surpassed 10 miles and opened to the public;  a Zip Line Adventure course launched and saw more than 7,500 visitors flying through the trees; several trail races were staged and Alabama Outdoors hosted weekly trail runs.

In 2013, more attractions and amenities are in the works! Please come enjoy the progress!
