The endowment makes it possible to maintain the soul of Railroad Park which is its beauty, its accessibility, and its role as a vibrant gathering place for everyone.

Future income generated from the endowment fund will be used for operations and projects including but not limited to:

• Native Plantings: Railroad Park is home to more than 100,000 trees and native plants, creating an ecosystem that includes more than 120 different documented species of birds as well as hundreds of other sensitive wildlife, including turtles, dragonflies, and pollinator bees.

• Water Features: 30% of Railroad Park includes water features such as a lake, ponds, streams and our beautiful rain curtain. These water features are beloved by our visitors, and they offer both mental wellness and environmental benefits.

• Park Operations: Railroad Park is open to the public 365 days a year and hosts half a million visitors annually. By continually updating and maintaining Park features and amenities, RRPF continues to provide a safe, vibrant, award-winning greenspace for our community to connect.

The choices we make today shape the legacy we leave behind. By giving to the endowment, you help guarantee that Railroad Park will remain a source of joy, beauty, and belonging for your family and for Birmingham’s future. Give generously and leave your mark on this living legacy.
