Rotary Trail

Rotary Trail is our centennial gift to the Birmingham community. Completed in 2015, the 3.5-million-dollar project transformed an abandoned railroad cut into a landscaped, four-block walking/running/biking pathway. The trail and surrounding area have become a destination for visitors and residents alike and are among the most photographed places in Birmingham.
