Cahaba River Park
Nimrod Long presented this draft of a rendering of the Cahaba River Park to the Mountain Brook City Council in January. The city is asking for input on the plan before it is finalized.
Mountain Brook City Council recently declared the new Cahaba River Park open for public recreation. The 4.7-acre park is located at Overton Road and River Run Drive near I-459 and backs up to the Cahaba River.
The city has yet to implement any improvements to the park, but it has completed some cleanup work.
Original plans for the park included walking trails, a fishing ledge, a gazebo, picnic tables and benches, and a parking area.
According to City Manager Sam Gaston, the city is working on plans for the park and getting bids out for construction this fall. They hope to begin work in early 2013.
