Vulcan

Really cool view.

Its a nice view of the city. We were here for the All-American Bowl back in 86. With 300+ of us there, there wasn’t a whole lot of room or time to look around. The view of Birmingham was nice though. Baby Do’s Matchless Mine Restaurant was good too. Do them both on your trip.

You’ll never find any better views of the city from anywhere. The museum is pretty good considering how new the place is. The park is very friendly and hospitable. Great for the family!

The grass is just so kept and green.

My friends decided to pull a blanket out of our car (we were on a road trip) and put it on the grass. We sat there all afternoon, reading books on Vulcan’s grass. We rolled down the hills like children, gaining momentum until we couldn’t stop ourselves even if we tried. We tried to figure out where we were by stepping and walking over the map built into the concrete.

Good times. the park itself isn’t that amazing, but bring good company and it will be.

What would Birmingham be, without the Moon over Homewood?

Pants are optional, at least for Vulcan.

I went here yesterday (August 24th 2006) with my boyfriend, Dustin.. I was kinda shaky at the top cause you can see through the floor thing and I am a little scared of heights.. but it was really cool! Pretty view!

I remember the first time I visited the Vulcan as a child. It was in the mid 60s; the park was so much different then. It didn’t have an elevator so you had to climb the stairs to the top. You would think a child could handle it but I was out of breath by the time we got to the top. The park’s update is nice but it has nothing on the original.

I stopped in here on my way back from the Gulf to Chattanooga last year. I was very impressed with it. They have recently renovated the whole park and added a museum.

I love the fact that he has no pants.
