Cahaba River Walk Ribbon Cutting
The city held a grand opening for Cahaba River Walk on Friday, April 10.
City officials were on hand for a ribbon cutting and the public was allowed to explore the area.
The 4.7-acre property, previously known as Cahaba River Park, is located at Overton Road and River Run Road. The city allotted a $450,000 budget for the park after acquiring the property in the fall of 2011.
Its current amenities include a parking area for 20 cars, a loop walkway and a walkway down to a natural stone beach on the river. Native plants have been placed in disturbed areas to create a bioswale to filter water that flows from the parking lot to the river.
A nature path similar to ones on Jemison Trail have been added as an Eagle Scout project. The site also features a pavilion.
