Avondale Park is a 40-acre wooded park located in Birmingham, Alabama, with its entrance at the south end of 41st Street South. The park is named for the City of Avondale, which was annexed into Birmingham in 1910, and overlooks Red Mountain. Originally the park area was an informal resting spot among natural springs along the Georgia Road. It has been a true recreation spot since 1885, when a mule-powered streetcar began bringing people from Birmingham to the springs to bathe and picnic. Today, Avondale Park offers visitors a peaceful, natural setting for activities such as picnicking, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.
