Railroad Park is a 19 acre green space in downtown Birmingham that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of our great city. Situated along 1st Avenue South, between 14th and 18th Streets, the park is a joint effort between the City of Birmingham and the Railroad Park Foundation. Railroad Park is the ideal place to enjoy the crisp Alabama March air and have a little lunch, throw a little Frisbee, or take a little jog.
To enjoy Alabama properly, you have to treat yourself to some Southern-style barbecue. Dreamland is best known for their large, smoked to perfection ribs and sweet savory barbecue sauce. It is also the groom's favorite choice when considering dinner options. He even insisted they cater the wedding, but the bride wasn't having it. (White dress, ya know?) Give them a try. You won't be disappointed!
