Kelly Ingram Park

I accidentally found this park while looking for a place to eat my chicken from the chicken spot. The weather was very nice beautiful day lots of squirrels running around . I finished my meal and I decided to walk around there was only a few people there mainly homeless men trying to take a nap. I didn’t let that discourage me I ventured around took a few pictures and plan on coming back for the full experience when I had more time. Overall, it is a lovely park lots of education on civil rights.

We need more parks like this... its a part of American History ... the struggles the black community in Alabama indured must be preserved for all future generations to learn and educate themselves... powerful ...simply powerful

Wonderful park featuring and commemorating historical moments of the Civil Rights Movement. Guiding you along the way is a tour made available by calling a number. Also, the park is with close proximity to the 16th Street Baptist Church where the 4 Little Girls were killed. (See Spike Lee's movie for more background if you aren't aware of this sensitive and significant event in history). Very interesting and thought provoking. 5 stars

A lot of black history is in this park. Things that you hear about and now can visualize it.

Be sure to use your cell phone to follow along with the QR audio scripts that follow each art piece/statue. This is a very good outdoor exhibit of the historic civil rights struggle in Birmingham. The park is located directly across the street from the church that was bombed and the civil rights museum. I am glad to have seen this and am somber but at the same time so very proud of those that struggled so much for the gains they achieved.

This park is part of the Birmingham Civil Rights District. It has amazing monuments and sculptures dedicated to the ongoing civil rights struggle in the city and our nation.

♿️This is a historic park in the middle of the Civil Rights District. It is all ♿️ accessible as everything is paved and the crosswalks have ramps. Parked in front of the Civil Rights Building and started walking towards the park, passing the Sixteenth Street Church along the way. It's not a large park, but every piece tells something about the history of Civil Rights and what people went through during this time. There is a tour available through Red Clay Tours and they showed up while I was there. I would recommend the tour as well as just going on your own. I believe I caught part of something their tour does and it was riveting. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone. The fountain does not work and that's really a shame bc it would be beautiful in action. There are office chairs just sitting in the strangest place on a stage area. There are benches and garbage cans available. I would recommend the park as well as walking the entirety of the Civil Rights District if you haven't all ready. They have restored so much, but this park is your starting point.

Great historical place / memorial / and monument in Birmingham and a good accessible park, too. Lots of history surrounding this area as indicated with the informative monuments placed around the park and numbered for your convenience. Adjacent to the civil rights institute and 16th Street Baptist church.
