PARKS & RECREATION UPDATES

Revised Trail Improvement Plan Presented August 1

Share your feedback regarding Birmingham's newly updated Trail Improvement Concept Plan at the Parks and Recreation Board meeting on August 1. The revised plan incorporates feedback gathered from the public and various City boards and department heads since November 2022. Improving the City's trail system is an important Parks and Recreation bond project, and the Department of Public Services (DPS) has applied for several grants to help leverage funding for the initiative.

The meeting, which also includes an update on the Parks and Recreation Master Plan update, will begin at 6:30 p.m. Attend in person at the DPS, located at 851 South Eton Street (park inside the gate and use the side entrance), or participate via Zoom at www.bhamgov.org/participate.
