    Nice nature & hiking trails with some obstacle course spots that remind of Army basic training obstacle courses. The parking lot is pretty big, but people were still parking on the street. The trails were pretty muddy with all the rain we've gotten lately. They do a good job of posting the maps frequently and directional markers. I was trying to find the sky bridge but unsuccessful this go around. It wasn't marked on the map.

    An amazing escape within a major city. It is easy to escape the stress and rigors of modern city life and walk through a well tended path and simply decompress. It is easy to forget that you are within the urban sprawl of the city of Birmingham, Alabama here. There is a tranquility not often associated with these metropolitan shrines to steel and asphalt within these paths. It is a peace that settles within your soul and speaks to you on a primal level. We need these respites from the modern day world, we need to ascend back to the soil from which was born creation. We need to remember that we are more than what we created, these cities that reach beyond the clouds and appreciate who and what we really are.

    Red Mountain Park is nature at its finest! The park is located conveniently in the backyard of Homewood Alabama. Great trails, wildlife, old mining shafts mining ruins, and a mountain that boast about 1200 feet of elevation is an absolute great day trip and excursion!

    We went hiking at Red Mountain Park and had a decidedly disappointing experience :-( To begin with, the hike wasn't particularly strenuous or challenging. Additionally, the signage was poor (complex trail names and no distances shown). We didn't have either the inclination or the energy to make it to either of the "viewpoints" so we weren't particularly impressed by the natural beauty of the place. To be fair, there are a number of mine ruins, which I found potentially interesting, but you're not allowed to inspect the ruins from up close so we decided to pass.

    A natural gem tucked in the outskirts of the city! This park is great for guest of all ages! There are a variety of hiking trails with various difficulty levels. Whenever I visit I never find the same thing twice. Always something new to explore. Recently one of the old mines was excavated and you're able to stand at the entrance and feel a spectacular blast of cool air coming from within the old mining tunnel. Great for history buffs, hikers, or anyone curious about the origins of the iron industry of Birmingham. Great place to fuel your curiosity and get a few miles of a workout in! They also offer zip lining and an adventure park for more structured activities if exploring the unbeaten path isn't your thing. Fall months are a great time to stop by as the sun isn't blaring. Bring water bottles!

    Giant chairs!

    Red Mountain is one of my favorite places to hike around Birmingham! It's very dog friendly, and there's a whole section dedicated to a dog park. It's very cool and shady here and today was a fantastic day to hike! Beautiful greenery and 75 degree weather. There's so much to explore and hike here; there's a zip line, a tree house, old mines, giant wooden chairs and more. Every time I come here, I pick a different trail so I never get bored. All the trails are well maintained and clearly marked, and they all loop around (eventually) so even if you get lost you'll find your way back. Definitely recommend Red Mountain!

    This place is simply amazing! There are so many trails and they all are of different difficulty, so there's probably a trail for everyone. I think some of the most difficult ones were Trail 5, 16, and I think number 8. Make sure that you go to the end of Trail 15 to see the view of the city. It's really breathtaking! They also have an adventure part of the park. But it was closed when I went. The dog park is so cool as well. You can literally spend every day here, it's so relaxing. I loved it!

    Nervous but excited

    I've gone to Good Dog many times that I felt it was finally time to review! Myself and my dog…read moreincluded both love this place. It reminds me of hanging out in someone's backyard, watching everyone's dogs play. They do a good job at offering events for your puppies and even sending you reminders when your vaccinations are expiring! Just make sure you have your vaccination records ready to present when you arrive. First, there's plenty to do for the pups. Offering a variety of obstacles and mini pools for them to cool down in is enough to keep them entertained for a couple of hours. Every time we've been there were lots of dogs, and they have always been super friendly (don't get me wrong, there's always a yapper or two but nothing too serious). If you're nervous about coming due to lots of other dogs, they have staff who is constantly roaming the play areas ensuring any aggressive behaviors get resolved immediately. If watching dogs be goofy isn't enough entertainment for you, they offer plenty of chairs to sit down and enjoy a beer or beverage of choice. Everything is in a can (make sure to use the nifty can cruncher onsite and recycle after) and there's a decent list of options to choose from. They also have a few tv's from every angle if you just can't miss the game.

    I LOVE THIS DOG PARK! Things I love: amazing staff (they are the nicest!), covered/turfed play…read morearea, fan, misters, heaters, lots of supervision, TV's, drinks!! It's like a home away from home for you and your pups. I especially love bringing my dogs on a football Saturday. They play, I watch a game and enjoy a drink and everybody wins! You will not be disappointed!

    There are 3 entrances to this park ( you should see on google ) one is from Kingsbury rd one on…read moreHagood ( right before you see monarch on right ( the entrances are all between houses ) the last is on monarch - The " leash law" doesn't really work here bc most people let their fogs play off leash , it's kind of a know hangout at about 5:30 I take my Westie bc she can be trusted off leash abs she loves seeing the other digs! But I can't trust my Labrador or my mutt (bc both would run off I fear ) my lab is ok at daycare but after aid of docs he doesn't know . I'm staring to brig my new puppy ( a golden retriever who's 4 months old to train him to stay off leash and not run off ! Everyone is super helpful and nice here - Also the review about old equipment is very old b. This place was re done a couple years ago with nice playground stuff and a rubber landing area ! Perfect for toddlers ( as long as they love dogs!

    I was working over in the Crestline/Irondale-ish area and wanted to eat my lunch somewhere outside…read moresince it was SUCH a beautiful day. We came across this park on Google... okay sweet! When we got it pulled up on the GPS, I was CONVINCED it was a mistake because we could not find it. We drove all around the block but could not see where it was, even though GPS said we were clearly there! We starting seeing a playground and open areas behind a bunch of houses, so we knew we were nearby. We drove around more and finalllllyyy found an entrance. It is hidden-- the entrance is on Kingsbury Ave. I've posted a picture so you'll know where to find it and what it looks like. There's also only street parking available. It was a Tuesday afternoon in May that we went, and it was so peaceful. The park is completely surrounded by houses (why it's so hard to find). There was only one other person there doing some running exercise. There's a playground, swings, track, picnic tables under some huge trees, and a good amount of open area. It was a hot day so we ate lunch under the trees, which kept us very cool. Then we played on the swings and playground as an attempt to relive our childhood memories! No bathroom or water fountain (maybe I missed that) that I saw. All in all-- a nice peaceful park. Maybe when school is out it might be busier, but I enjoyed myself!
