About the Park
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. Hailed as "Birmingham's Living
Room," Railroad Park provides a historically rich venue for local
recreation, family activities, concerts, and cultural events, while
connecting Birmingham's downtown area with Southside and UAB's
campus.

Location: West Green.
Urban Purpose is looking to break the record for "the longest dinner table in Birmingham!" At Urban Purpose, we believe that everyone is worthy of having a seat at the table, and that's just what we're going to do. We're inviting everyone in Birmingham, from the homeless to the affluent, from 1 year olds to 100 year olds, to join us for dinner at Railroad Park. Our hope is to raise awareness of our important work at Urban Purpose, which is to help the homeless and hurting of Birmingham, and provide a fun evening where everyone regardless of circumstances has a seat at the table.
