Red Mountain Park in Birmingham, AL, is a sprawling 1,500-acre park nestled along the Red Mountain Ridge. It seamlessly integrates natural beauty with the rich mining history that played a pivotal role in shaping Birmingham, earning it the moniker "The Magic City."

Visitors to the park can immerse themselves in over 18 miles of hiking and biking trails, encounter unique tree houses, experience the sensory trail, or let their furry companions frolic at Remy’s Dog Park. Red Mountain Park offers a harmonious blend of adventure, nature, and local history, catering to a diverse range of interests.

It stands today as a living testament to Birmingham’s industrial heritage and its dedication to preserving natural spaces for future generations.
