New Plaza and Fountain
The north side of Vulcan Park was in significant disrepair. The new plaza and fountain in Kiwanis Centennial Park reconnects Vulcan to Downtown Birmingham physically. It includes landscaping the north side of the park, renovating the lower piazza entrance and building a fountain and steps for walking access from the north side to the statue itself.
Steps Leading To Vulcan
Visitors can now access Vulcan from the north side of the park via new steps leading from Kiwanis Centennial Park.
Restoration of Original Stonework
Kiwanis also restored the original WPA stone steps located at the new plaza and fountain.
Kiwanis & Vulcan
Vulcan Park and the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham have been tied together since the 1930s when the Kiwanis Club became the key driver behind the creation of Vulcan Park as a unifying symbol of the city’s can-do spirit.
