Bluff Park Sidewalk

I know what you’re thinking: «a sidewalk? who cares?». I tell you who should care: anyone who wants to go for a beautiful stroll, that’s who. Nestled in one of Birmingham’s most quaint neighborhoods, this sidewalk is great for walking, jogging, skipping, or strolling with the kiddos. Hungry after expending all of that kinetic energy? Us too! Tip Top Grill is a stones throw from the end of the sidewalk. They have the view and the food to fill body and soul. So put on your comfy shoes and let’s get moving!

This is a fantastic spot for a good run or walk. While Bluff Park is full of big hills, this sidewalk has only small inclines totaling around 160 feet if you run the entire length. One end to the other and back is almost exactly a 5k. While you do pass folks every now and then, this trail is never too crowded. Also, I run this at night and always feel safe. Heads up… It’s not lit, so you might want to bring a light with you.
Shades Crest Baptist Church is in the middle of the sidewalk and has ample parking, in case you don’t live in the area.
