Meet our new Administrative Assistant, Cynthia Tarver

January 27th, 2012

New Admin. Asst.

Cynthia has previous experience with the park.  As a child, she grew up in the Wenonah community.  Cynthia and her friends often visited the area where the park is being built.  They enjoyed playing in the old mine ruins and picking plums.  Cynthia is honored to be a part of this project with Red Mountain Park, and is excited to be “reuniting with her past to build a wonderful future”.

Fun Facts about Cynthia:

Her hobbies include event planning and spending time with her niece, Shymya.

She also enjoys cooking for her friends and family.

Everyone here at Red Mountain Park is glad to have Cynthia on board with us, and are looking forward to great things to come.

Park Management Training has begun…

June 17th, 2011

Last week I kicked off a 5-week training program for my staff that includes all aspects of Integrated Park Management–it is time that we begin to prepare for what life will be like around here once those gates open.  We have enjoyed having discussions on how Red Mountain Park will operate and what roles we’ll play in a successful operation.

I have been happy to have staff from Vulcan Park & Museum and Railroad Park attend these sessions in an effort to combine all of our training and efforts.  They have contributed the real-life examples that my staff will soon see on opening day atop Red Mountain.  I enjoy teaching the sessions very much, but even more than that I enjoy thinking about the opening of this park and what it will mean for the community.

Enjoy your weekend and enjoy one of Birmingham’s parks this weekend if you can…..

Newest Staff Addition

February 16th, 2010

The park staff has grown with the addition of a part time maintenance position.  Jeff Newman has been hired to work on maintaining our park trails–he has done an incredible job creating the trails that allow for our monthly public tours.  He’s had a cold past couple of days out on the property, but did seem to make the most of the weather in building a helper for cutting down some privet..(see photo)

Look for Jeff’s bio soon on the staff page!
