Birmingham Park would add ball fields and a community center in the long term, but short-term plans would include expanding Bell Memorial Park.
Birmingham Park would add fields for baseball, soccer and lacrosse, plus tennis, basketball and volleyball courts in a draft master plan for the park. Of course being an equestrian community, acres of space and even more for trails would be set aside. The city revealed the master plan draft for its parks and trails on Monday, April 16 in City Hall.
