LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) — Community leaders gathered in the Central Bank Center parking lot Tuesday morning for the official groundbreaking of the new 11-acre Town Branch Park.

City leaders are looking into the future, hoping the new park will branch off and increase foot traffic into the Distillery District.

By the summer of 2025, the asphalt behind the Central Bank Venter will flip into an 11-acre green space.

The park will be connected to the Town Branch Trail and feature a 4,000-seat amphitheater, water play area, dog park and other amenities.
