LEXINGTON, Ky. (FOX 56) — Town Branch Park has officially broken ground.
After years of planning and fundraising, construction of the 10-acre park in downtown Lexington began on Tuesday. Officials describe it as a “highly programmed green space” adjacent to the Central Bank Center and Rupp Arena.
The park will serve as a trailhead for the downtown trail system, including connections to Town Branch and Legacy trails.
“Since its inception, Town Branch Park was envisioned as Lexington’s living room, a place where everyone is welcome and the community can flourish,” said Allison Lankford, executive director of Town Branch Park. “The community has embraced the positive impact Town Branch Park will have on our region and invested in it. We are thankful for the overwhelming support for this project, and today we take the next big step to creating a park shaped by the input of thousands of Lexingtonians who graciously shared their knowledge, ideas, and vision for this world-class park.”
