Now completed, CityWalk BHAM includes a 31-acre, 10-block-long linear public park underneath the I-59/I-20 bridges in downtown Birmingham, featuring world-class design and pedestrian amenities that provide active and passive recreational gathering opportunities. Working closely with Barge Design Solutions, ALDOT, the City and local stakeholders, the skatepark solution was developed to not only fit the thematic structure of the CityWalk landscape but to also offer a completely unique experience within the context of this one of a kind under-viaduct urban environment. Complimenting surrounding children’s playscapes, an outdoor skating rink, a dog park, walking paths, multiple performance spaces and gathering areas, the skatepark features a balanced mix of transition, flow, street and pump track obstacles while adhering to the traffic, inspection and pedestrian pathway requirements of ALDOT and the City of Birmingham. With a footprint of over 56,000 sqft, the skatepark will also serve as one of North America’s largest action sports destinations.
