About Railroad Park

Railroad Park is a 19-acre greenspace 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. Hailed as Birmingham’s “Front Lawn,” Railroad Park provides a historically rich venue for local recreation, family activities, concerts, and cultural events. Created with the residents of Birmingham in mind, the Park provides a welcoming space where all can exercise, have a walking meeting, meet a friend for a picnic, find solace amid nature, and feel a sense of community.

Railroad Park now hosts THREE Senior Fit Classes each week. Meet our fearless leader Tracy L. Williams: I’m currently in my sixth season with Railroad Park, where I consider it an honor to serve the senior community. Prior to joining Railroad Park, I dedicated over 43 years to working with young children, a role I found deeply rewarding and impactful. While I truly enjoyed my time nurturing and guiding youth, I have discovered an equally strong passion for working with seniors. I believe that some paths in life are a calling and serving seniors is one of those callings for me. Through my leadership and dedication, I pray that I continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those I serve.
