BIRMINGHAM — The Birmingham Museum’s John West Hunter Park, along Willits Street, will be undergoing planned improvements this summer. The John West Hunter Park improvements are in accordance with the museum’s 2018 master landscape plan. The project has four phases; the current improvements consist of phases one and two. “We are really trying to make the entire park wheelchair accessible,” said Marty Logue, the chair of the museum board. “One of our goals is that anyone can enjoy the park.” See PARK on page 26A
