The best trail ever. Follows Yellowleaf Creak for nearly 2 miles. Mostly level and now accessible…read morefrom a new park as well as the small trailhead parking area. My favorite trail in Alabama!

This was my first time at this park. I was recently here for my nephew's soccer game versus a team…read morefrom Tennessee. The soccer field we played on was oddly designed. Parking was a little tricky but we made our own parking spot. Overall, a decent park with several fields.

Great place to meet your human and doggy neighbors!…read more The park is spacious enough that, even when it's filled with people on a nice day, you still have plenty of room to lay down your blanket and have a picnic. It is super dog friendly, so be careful where you walk, but that's really the only semi-negative thing that I can come up with. As long as it's not freezing or raining, the park always has at least one person in it. And, with Green Central Station right next door now, you can rent picnic stuff or crochet to enjoy in the grass. My absolute favorite thing about the park is that it houses Do Dah Day every year! Definitely an event that can't be missed.

Fun park. Good for dogs, humans and everything in between…read more There are a few benches to host a picnic, there is also a paved path for waking and enough shade or sunning spots. There are no toilets which can be inconvenient. Also some people don't pick up mans best friends poo so careful where you step.

I really love coming here for a walk or a jog. Sometimes I bring my pup with me and she seems to…read moreenjoy it too. Most people who bring their dogs here have well trained dogs. Unlike other nearby parks, I don't have to worry about if I'm approaching an aggressive or unsocialized dog along the path.

I didn't take many pics here but I really enjoyed this park! It's beautiful and easy to navigate…read more So many pretty views and things to do! The walking trail is easy. We had a nice time here. Can't wait to return!

This is a pleasant enough park, although it is definitely a small neighborhood park. It has a small…read morewalking path, a few picnic tables, a small pavilion and a small parking lot. There is no lighting here, so once dusk hits, you might as well head out. Still, it is pleasant enough overall.

This is a small neighborhood park located , yep you guessed it off of Meadowlawn in Cahaba Heights…read more It's the first thing you come to when you turn j in not the neighborhood on the right. There are a couple picnic tables under a cover, some playground equipment (swings, slide, etc), a walking trail (probably only about 1/8 of a mile - at most) and there is a nice little stream that wraps around the back side of the park. Grassy area in the middle would be good for some frisbee throwing is ball throwing ... or bring a volleyball set up and it would be a good space for that. Nice little park, if you're in the area not a bad place to bring your lunch and sit snd eat.

Greenwood Park is little more than a children's play area and a few basketball courts. It also has…read morea little walking area, but it is nothing too impressive. I will say, the children's that play area does seem rather appealing. If you have small children, this is the only reason I would recommend coming to this park. For that alone, I will give it four stars.

This is a fantastic spot for a good run or walk. While Bluff Park is full of big hills, this…read moresidewalk has only small inclines totaling around 160 feet if you run the entire length. One end to the other and back is almost exactly a 5k. While you do pass folks every now and then, this trail is never too crowded. Also, I run this at night and always feel safe. Heads up... It's not lit, so you might want to bring a light with you. Shades Crest Baptist Church is in the middle of the sidewalk and has ample parking, in case you don't live in the area.

I know what you're thinking: "a sidewalk? who cares?". I tell you who should care: anyone who wants…read moreto go for a beautiful stroll, that's who. Nestled in one of Birmingham's most quaint neighborhoods, this sidewalk is great for walking, jogging, skipping, or strolling with the kiddos. Hungry after expending all of that kinetic energy? Us too! Tip Top Grill is a stones throw from the end of the sidewalk. They have the view and the food to fill body and soul. So put on your comfy shoes and let's get moving!

I would call this more of a walkway that is located on the 1st Avenue South side of Railroad Park…read more There are benches and a little creek but honestly appears man-made, however they have fountains to keep the water circulating. Railroad Park itself is a pretty cool Park and this little walkway only enhances it's already cool downtown birmingham, Alabama park.. If you are in birmingham, alabama, I would definitely check out this park and while you are there take a walk along this section.

The 3.4 mile Rails to Trails greenway is definitely one of most enjoyable trails I've trained on…read more You can easily start this trail at Black Creek Park (or cut off .4 miles and start at Fultondale's Bark Park), both with plenty of parking and bathroom facilities. The trail was completed as part of a city project, turning an old rail bed, from which the ties and rails have been pulled up, into a fully operational walking/running/biking and hiking trail, which leads to a flat, albeit curvy trail. Also, be aware of the ravines, if you're not a strong biker or have a fear of heights, this might not be the path for you. If you went over the edge of this trail, you wouldn't be unscathed. But, on the plus side, it is an absolutely beautiful path, gravel and running all along Black Creek. Mostly shaded with large trees and rock walls throughout. The trail is dog friendly, and although you won't find doggie bags, you will find trashcans at every .5 mile. Also, you'll find mile markers every 1/2 mile as well as benches (and even an old blue shed at mile 1.5). The trail has no accessibility once you're past the Bark Park and no bathrooms or water fountains. I ran all the way to Shady Grove Road, which was .4 miles past the last mile marker (mile 3). When you reach the end, there's no signage and only a tiny area that has been cleared for parking. You could access the trail from here as well, but you'd have to know where it is to find it. I did notice that A "trail" continues on the other side of Shady Grove Road, but it's dirt path and technically isn't part of the Rails to Trails path. Maybe the city will continue to improve upon this in the future? Regardless, this is a very pleasant trail: gravel, miles labeled, safe, mostly shaded and with bathroom facilities at the start.
