Railroad Park, along with 19 other city parks across the country are in the running for USA Today’s “Best City” 10Best Readers Choice poll.

Want to help Railroad Park top the national publication’s list?

Earlier this week Railroad Park launched their campaign with a nifty “how to” vote social media post:

As of the morning of March 12th, Railroad Park is in 8th place.

The vote ends on April 6th, so there is plenty of time to support “Birmingham’s Front Lawn.” Remember, you can vote for Railroad Park daily.

Why Railroad Park matters

The establishment of Railroad Park more than 15 years ago was transformational for Birmingham. Let’s tell the Park’s story nationally by winning this national referendum.

Vote today AND daily until April 6th.
