Documentary Film- Birmingham’s Front Lawn: 15 Years of Railroad Park
October 16, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
- $15
Join us at the beautiful Lyric Theater in Birmingham for the World Premiere showing of a documentary film tracing Railroad Park’s 15-year journey—from a collection of gravel lots and train car storage to a nationally recognized model of urban greenspace and design excellence.
The film emphasizes the role of design, planning, and community leadership in the Park’s creation. The premiere will feature a panel discussion with designers, urban planners, and community leaders, offering the public a chance to hear firsthand how the Park’s award-winning design came to life.
Purchase your ticket today before they sell out and honor the collaborative spirit that built Railroad Park, expand understanding of the design arts and their role in community revitalization, and inspire residents to be part of shaping Birmingham’s next chapter.
As we celebrate Railroad Park’s 15th Anniversary, we will reflect on the past, celebrate the present, and imagine the future of public space in Birmingham.
This documentary film is produced by award-winning filmmaker Michele Forman, Marika Gray Taylor, and Ginger Jefferson and made possible by the Philip Morris Fund for the Design Arts at the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham and the Alabama Humanities Alliance.
Doors open at 5:00 p.m., program begins at 5:30 p.m.
