Friends of Red Mountain Park

This month we will be benefiting Friends of Red Mountain Park.  Their mission is to promote, enhance, and enjoy Red Mountain Park. Our goals are to spread the word about this project, volunteer our time and talent to enhance the park’s development, and champion the use and enjoyment of the park for the broadest range of citizens.

Red Mountain Park is one of the largest urban parks in the country – larger than even Central Park in New York City. It offers trails for walking, hiking, running, and bicycling. You can schedule Zip Line tours, or set some time to play in the Beanstalk Forest ropes/challenge course.

Come on out and join us Thursday, May 23rd, for a great time supporting an amazing organization and help make Birmingham a better place to live!
