Park Passport
Nearly 250 UAB employees explored the great outdoors, collecting more than 350 stamps from 135 different parks and outdoor destinations, during the UAB Employee Wellness Park Passport Challenge 2025. Railroad Park and Red Mountain Park were among the most visted locations, but the adventure didn’t stop there. Participants ventured across the U.S. and beyond — from national parks in Montana and Maine to city parks in Boston and Washington D.C., and even the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens, Greece.
