Limestone Park in Alabaster is approximately 100 acres of locally rare habitats including one of the largest beaver marshes in the area, a Water Tupelo Swamp (rare in this part of the state), wet marsh, and open grasslands. It is a featured site on the Alabama Birding Trails system and is considered one of the the best birding locations in the greater Birmingham metro area.
