About the Venue

City Walk BHAM Playground is a large downtown play destination designed around Alabama's five physiographic regions. The official page describes an inclusive play space with poured-in-place rubberized surfacing, shaded seating, nearby restrooms and parking, and varied experiences for children of all ages and abilities. Families will find inclusive motion play such as an inclusive sea-saw, inclusive whirl, adaptive seating on the dual zip-track, swings, cozy domes for retreat, chimes for sensory stimulation, rope climbers, synthetic turf berms, and multiple zone styles that support different energy levels. It works especially well for mixed-age outings and for families pairing playground time with other City Walk activities.
