Maclin Park

Agnes Maclin Park is a Birmingham city park located at 2701 F. L. Shuttlesworth Drive near the Collegeville Housing Community in the Collegeville neighborhood of North Birmingham. Its athletic and recreational facilities have been managed by the Housing Authority of the Birmingham District.

As part of its evaluation of the 35th Avenue Superfund Site, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tested soil at Maclin Park in 2013. At the ballfield area they found levels of lead in excess of the minimum needed to trigger soil replacement work as part of the North Birmingham Environmental Collaboration Project.

The park was renovated to designs by Hendon & Huckestein Architects in 2015-2016. The $1.5 million project included a new recreation center, football and baseball fields, new landscaping, a new swimming pool and a splash pad.
