Linn Park, Urban park in Downtown Birmingham, Alabama.
Linn Park is an urban park spanning seven acres between Birmingham City Hall and the Jefferson County Courthouse in downtown Birmingham. The space features walking paths, fountains, gardens, and open lawns that accommodate various activities and gatherings.
The park was originally established as Capitol Park and underwent several name changes before being renamed for Charles Linn in the 1980s. In 2020, it became a focal point during social justice movements when major monuments were removed from the site.
The park serves as a gathering place for the city's major events, including the Magic City Classic Parade and rotating art exhibitions. Residents use this space regularly to meet, celebrate, and connect with their community.
The park is located downtown between the city's two major government buildings and is easily accessible by foot. Benches, picnic areas, and a playground are spread throughout, making it suitable for different types of visits and activities.
The park sits sandwiched between two imposing courthouse buildings, creating a distinctive architectural frame for the open space. This unusual positioning makes it a memorable urban setting where civic structures frame the green area rather than standing apart from it.
