List of Birmingham parks

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.
