I was happy to see it being used heavily even on a cold and cloudy day in December. I was impressed by the extent of re-use seen in the walls and seating areas which are constructed from bricks and objects unearthed on the site when Railroad Park construction began. This 19 acre green-space was very well thought out and planned. 600 trees are planted with masses of annual, biennial and perennial flowers. The park is 30% water, complete with a beautiful lake and cool rain curtain that is lit at night with LED lights that change color. As you stroll or jog along the parks trails you will see bio-filtrated wetlands and ponds & streams everywhere all irrigated by onsite wells. As the trees start to mature this will only increase the parks awesomeness. Well Done Birmingham ! The Park is open 7am-11pm daily. You can visit knowing you are safe as the park is monitored around the clock by a state-of-the-art security system and by rangers on patrol. #birmingham](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/567/3475bad6-e4ce-4dab-b890-7de37fbc7cda.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Railroad Park Activities --- --- ## Plan a trip to see Railroad Park Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,382 reviews) The stay was overall average and honestly a bit below what I expected. When I arrived, the bed sheets had a visible stain and I had to call for replacements. The bathroom had a few issues as well the water only got lukewarm, the sink faucet was clogged, and the water would back up and sit in the sink when running it. Additionally, the door stopper/lock was broken and the microwave in the room did not work. Breakfast was also pretty mediocre and below average compared to other stays. While the location was convenient, the maintenance and amenities definitely need improvement. I likely wouldn’t choose this location again unless these issues are addressed.
