Birmingham, AL 35222

Avondale Park, situated on the picturesque slopes of Red Mountain in Birmingham, AL, is a 40-acre wooded oasis that offers a serene escape from the bustling city life. The park's entrance, located at the south end of 41st Street South where it meets 5th Avenue South, provides a gateway to this tranquil haven that overlooks the historic City of Avondale.

Originally established as a recreational spot among natural springs along the Georgia Road, the park's rich history dates back to the Civil War era. Over the years, it has evolved into a cherished green space, providing a sanctuary for visitors seeking relaxation and outdoor activities.

With its rock retaining walls, lush rose garden, and former zoo, Avondale Park boasts a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance. From its mule-powered streetcar days to hosting iconic concerts in the '60s and '70s, this park continues to be a cultural hub where memories are made and shared.
