About Addison Park

Park Overview

Found in a residential area, this 8.7-acre green space offers a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Addison Park has become a popular spot for locals seeking a quiet moment in nature or a place to stretch their legs. There's something genuinely calming about this modest community park that makes it ideal for anyone needing a breather or a quick dose of outdoor time.

Recreation Facilities

Whether you're looking to break a sweat or just enjoy some casual activity, the park offers several options. The paved walking trail winds through the park, offering a scenic route that's become a favorite for nearby workers squeezing in some steps during lunch breaks.

Sports options abound with a full basketball court that sees regular pickup games, two tennis courts (which conveniently double as pickleball courts for enthusiasts of this growing sport), and an open field where impromptu soccer or football games regularly unfold.

Family Amenities

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area with its modern equipment. While not massive, it provides more than enough fun for younger visitors to burn off energy while parents can keep a watchful eye from nearby seating.

Feeling hungry? The park's picnic tables, grills, and covered shelter create an excellent spot for everything from family lunches to small gatherings. The picnic area is compact but gets the job done, offering a couple of tables and a grill where you can cook up some outdoor favorites while enjoying the greenery around you.

Pet-Friendly Features

Dog owners, rejoice! Your four-legged friends are welcome here. The pleasant walking paths and open areas provide plenty of space for dogs to explore and exercise. The paved trails are particularly convenient for a leisurely stroll with your furry companion.

Facilities Note

One thing to keep in mind: there are currently no public restrooms available at Addison Park, so you might want to plan accordingly before your visit.

Natural Setting

What makes Addison Park special isn't flashy features but its clean, tranquil atmosphere that allows for a moment of relaxation. It balances natural beauty with practical amenities in this Lexington neighborhood. Whether you've got 15 minutes or a full afternoon, this green space provides a nice dose of outdoor time.
