Riverfront Park
A city park on the bank of the Alabama River, with an amphitheater, the old train station canopy, and paddle-wheel excursion boats, next to a minor league baseball stadium.
Riverfront Park lies northwest of downtown and can be reached from the commercial district through a tunnel to the riverbank. The park includes the 1898 Union Station train shed, which has been converted into an event space, a circular amphitheater, and riverside walkways. Concerts and festivals are held here in summer. The paddle-wheeler Harriott II departs from the dock for a roughly 90-minute cruise on the Alabama River. Next door, Riverwalk Stadium, converted from an old warehouse, is the home of the minor league Montgomery Biscuits, and the game-day atmosphere is lively.
