Avondale Village is a 160-space public surface parking lot at 133 41st Street South in Avondale. It was jointly financed by the Birmingham Parking Authority and the Forest Park-South Avondale Merchants Association and operated by the Parking Authority, with customer payments made at an automated kiosk.

The landscaped lot was designed by Williams-Blackstock Architects and was constructed for about $600,000 in time to open in the Summer of 2015. The name of the project was to have been displayed on a metal gateway sign inspired by the Avondale Park sign.

In October 2023 the BPA added an electric vehicle charging station to the lot. The project was supported by Alabama Partners for Clean Air and a grant from the Alabama Clean Fuels Coalition.
