Revision as of 17:31, 30 August 2007

This is a list of Birmingham parks, made up of those dedicated by the Birmingham City Council. Once a park is dedicated, the land can no longer be sold or the space used for any other purpose unless approved in a voter referendum. Action by the council requires a survey of the proposed park land along with other documentation.

Planned

Dedicated 2006

Rededicated 2000

Numerous Birmingham parks were rededicated under an amended ordinance in 2000. The new ordinance required property surveys, deeds, and council records to be kept on file in the City Clerk's office.
