About the Park
New Entrance in the Works
There's a new project in the works at Phase 1 of the Rail Park. It's a staircase that will give people access from the underpass at 13th Street up onto the park.
Phase 1
Poetry and Art at the Rail Park
Phase 1 of the Rail Park isn't just home to plants and pathways. It's also a canvas for Dawn Chorus, a beautiful site-specific work of public art.
