Linn Park is a seven-acre (2.8 ha) urban park in the centre of Birmingham, Alabama.[1] It is overlooked by Birmingham City Hall on the west side and Jefferson County Courthouse on the east side. Formerly known as Capitol Park, Woodrow Wilson Park, and Central Park,[2][3] the park was renamed after Confederate naval officer and businessman Charles Linn in the 1980s.[2][4]
