Shades Creek Greenway

The Shades Creek Greenway connects Crestline Park to Birmingham’s growing network of walking and biking trails. Managed by the Freshwater Land Trust, the greenway follows Shades Creek through our neighborhood, offering a scenic path for exercise, commuting, and family outings.

The trail links to the existing Red Rock Trail and extends to surrounding communities in Mountain Brook, Irondale, and beyond — putting our neighborhood at the heart of the regional trail network.
