Avondale park, which has been around for more than 100 years, is headed for the completion of a major renovation.
Over the years Avondale park has been the sight of stage productions, a small zoo where the elephant was taken for long lonely Sunday strolls by his inebriated keeper, the most major incursion of “hippie shenanigans in Birmingham during the 60s, and lately, sadly, a lot of drug deals, but also for the better the occasional musical recital and art show.
With the improvements coming together hopefully there will be more of the latter and none of the former of those last three.
If they are as diligent as they have been at Railroad Park things should be very nice.
Here are some shots of the as yet unopened park.
The Grotto, fed by a spring found in the park.
Not sure just what these are, sort of like balconies, found near the Grotto
The place were the water comes from underground that feeds the Grotto.
What can I say... I like the Grotto
The ball park.
And as I said, no word yet on when the park opens.
