Cahaba River Walk
The pavilion at Cahaba River Walk, previously known as Cahaba River Park, will complete its first phase of development by February.
A new pavilion will round out the first phase of features in the new Cahaba River Walk at Overton Road and River Run Road. The pavilion is scheduled for completion by February, just in time for spring events.
A nature path similar to ones on Jemison Trail is also planned as an Eagle Scout project for the first part of this year, as is a reworking the pedestrian crossings at the intersection of Overton Road and Oakdale Drive/River Run Drive.
The 4.7-acre property now boasts a parking area for 20 cars, a loop walkway and a walkway down to a natural stone beach on the river. Native plants were scheduled be placed in disturbed areas to create a bioswale, which will filter water that flows from the parking lot to the river.
Another trail will go under the bridge and could eventually connect to the Carraway-Davie House and Conference Center, which was recently purchased by Cahaba Park Church.
