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.

Except for some parks which operate under agreement with independent boards or organizations, the parks are managed by the Birmingham Park and Recreation Board and maintained by the Birmingham Department of Public Works.
