FROM THE DIRECTOR

We have been working diligently on the Parks Master Plan and, with the help of the community, we have some great ideas. We would like to thank everyone who attended a community conversation or participated in our “Your Parks, Our Future” survey. The information provided has given us great ideas to make plans for parks, recreation, trails, programs, events and open space in Lexington.

New on our events calendar this year are the Taste of Beaumont and Freaky Friday Flicks. Kick off the fall season with local food and retail vendors, live music and activities for the kids at Taste of Beaumont at MoonDance Amphitheater the first Sunday of October. Then spend every Friday in October enjoying a family–friendly, spooky movie at

Freaky Friday Flicks, also at MoonDance Amphitheater.

Our classes at Artworks at the Carver School are entering their second year. We have archery, dance, karate, pottery and printmaking classes for all ages, as well as multiple workshops to attend. New to the schedule this year is a theater class for children ages 7 –12. They’ll learn basic acting, staging and improv skills, plus they’ll get some headshots to keep!

This year we opened up our community centers a little earlier than usual to give youth and adults more time and opportunity to live active and healthy lifestyles. From zumba to weight lifting to cooking, there is something for everyone! Check out their monthly calendars at www.lexingtonky.gov/community-centers.

I hope you get a chance to pencil in some of the different events and programs we are offering. With over 100 parks to enjoy, get out and play with your family and friends this fall and winter. Thank you, Monica Conrad Director, Lexington Parks & Recreation

Also known as frisbee golf, disc golf was invented in the early 1900s when Ronald Gibson and some school friends in Bladworth, Saskatchewan, Canada threw some tin lids into four-foot wide circles drawn in the sand. They called it Tin Lid Golf. The sport was resurrected in the 1970s as disc golf.

Disc golf as we know it today involves throwing a disc at a target while using rules similar to golf. Players start at a designated tee area, throw their disc toward a target and continue from the landing position until their disc has reach the target. The goal is to use the least amount of throws by the end of the game.

Lexington Parks & Recreation offers three 18-hole disc golf courses – Shillito, Veterans and Jacobson Parks. The Shillito Park course is a Mach 3 course with concrete tee pads and alternate pin placements. There are elevation changes with lots of trees. Hole #1 is just to the right of the pool entrance. Veterans Park course was built entirely by volunteers. Like Shillito, there are elevation changes with plenty of trees. Most of the holes are in the woods. Jacobson is 7,050 feet long and features a rolling topography and has a lot of variety. The front nine is wooded, with three holes in a large pine forest. The back nine is open with stands of mature trees. A nine–hole course is located at River Hill Park, 3800 Crosby Drive. This course features several different elevation changes and plenty of trees. This is a great course to learn how to play and practice your game.

Gay Brewer Jr. Course at Picadome 469 Parkway Dr. What is Foot Golf? Foot golf is a unique blend of soccer and golf. Foot golf is played using the basic model of golf, with a tee box, a green, bunkers, hazards, a similar scorecard and 9 or 18 holes to play. The main differences are the cups, which are 21 inches in diameter, the ball (a #5 soccer ball), the shorter holes, and the fact that the players kick the ball instead of using clubs. The goal? Get the ball in the hole with the fewest strokes (kicks) possible. Get more details below, then get your foot in the game! Foot Golf Basics Players should wear indoor soccer shoes or tennis shoes. Cleats are not permitted. Proper attire is required (shorts and shirts). Players may bring their own #5 soccer ball or rent one from the pro shop.

McConnell Springs is a 26-acre natural area amidst industrial surroundings near downtown Lexington, Kentucky. It is home to the Kentucky American Water Education Center, which contains displays and exhibits that showcase the natural features of the park.

Two miles of trails loop around the sinking springs, vegetation, stone fences, and vestiges of historical buildings. McConnell Springs boasts more than 130 species of plants and numerous species of urban wildlife that reside at or visit the park.

The history of McConnell Springs closely parallels the history of Lexington. The city came of age in the 19th and 20th centuries, making the transition from a frontier outpost in the wilderness, to the “Athens of the West,” and finally to an important urban center serving central and eastern Kentucky. At McConnell Springs, land began as a farm, moved through several types of industries, then the Cahill dairy in the mid-1900s. The establishment of dairies and other commercial enterprises marked the continued progression of Lexington’s maturation.

Amenities include a flow bowl, snake run, street section, stairs and rails.

Some of the concrete in the skatepark was stamped with horseshoes and stylized to mimic limestone, and one of the metal rails features galloping thoroughbreds.

KIRKLEVINGTON SKATE SPOT 369 Redding Road Kirklevington Skate spot is 3,600 square feet and features a variety of “street” elements for skateboarders instead of ramps and other typical obstacles. This skate park was designed to offer obstacles and components that are similar to those found in downtown and other urban settings. This facility includes skateable benches, jersey barrier, grinding rail, concrete boxes and a variety of other obstacles for beginners and more advanced skaters.

VALLEY PARK SKATE SPOT 2077 Cambridge Drive Valley Park Skate Spot is Lexington’s newest skating facility. It is 6,200 square feet and has a variety of angled banks, ledges, rails and hump ramps more similar to a sculpture garden than a skatepark.

WOODLAND SKATE PARK 600 East High Street This 12,000 square foot facility features a variety of ramps, platforms, bowls and pipes. It offers a great skating experience for beginners while at the same time it challenges the most experienced skaters. This is a skate park only – not a bike park.

TRAILS

Lexington has many miles of trails which offer a great way to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle. Whether you enjoy hiking, walking, running or biking these trails allow individuals the opportunity to rejuvenate and maintain ones mind and body, all while having fun. Take a trip to one of our nature parks and enjoy bird-watching, stargazing or hiking with your family. Visit one of the trails located in your neighborhood and walk your dog, in-line skate with your children or ride a bike. We encourage you to get out and enjoy the beauty of your local parks and trail system. A SHARED USE TRAIL is paved and designed for activities such as running and walking as well as higher speed activities like bicycling and skating. They are 10–12 feet wide. A WALKING TRAIL is paved and is at least 8 feet wide. For everyone’s safety, bicycling and skating at greater than a fast walking speed is not allowed on walking trails. PATHS are narrower than 8 feet and may include sidewalks, gravel paths and grass paths. HIKING TRAILS are generally single person width, natural surface and for pedestrians only. Hiking trails may range from easy (level grades and shorter distances) to difficult (steep grades and/or longer distances). It is recommended that you select hiking trails appropriate for your level of physical ability.
