Red Mountain Park To See Improvements With Added Amenities

The spacious 1,800-square-foot covered pavilion will be conveniently located near the trailhead and future parking lot, welcoming park visitors as they arrive.

Within the pavilion, visitors will find a 460-square-foot enclosed structure housing multiple universally accessible, single-occupant restrooms. Two of the restrooms will be designed for caregiver-assisted use, incorporating durable materials and following inclusive, person-first design principles.

The pavilion extension will be an open-air, multi-use community gathering space where visitors can take a rest, families can gather, and school groups can receive educational presentations from park staff and our partners. Additionally, water fountains and bottle-filling stations will be provided.

Construction is scheduled to begin this fall, with completion expected by the end of 2025. Once construction begins, we recommend using the Venice Road park entrance. There will be a detour through Remy’s Dog Park for those wishing to continue to use the Frankfurt Drive entrance.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Innovate Alabama, whose investment made this project possible. Their support enables Jefferson County Greenways to continue improving Red Mountain Park, cementing it as a welcoming outdoor recreation destination for our community. We're excited about the enhanced experience these new amenities will offer park visitors.
