About Constitution Park
A Touch of Serenity in Lexington
Situated on Old Paris Road, Constitution Park stretches across 23.3 acres of public green space in Lexington, Kentucky. This park offers something for everyone, from sports enthusiasts to families seeking a peaceful afternoon out. While it tends to get a bit livelier in the afternoons, the park generally maintains that perfect quiet vibe when you just need to escape the hustle of city life.
What You'll Find
Looking to sprawl out on some grass with a good book? The park has expansive green spaces well-suited for lounging, picnicking, or just soaking up some vitamin D. These open areas aren't just pretty to look at - they're functional too, with local semi-pro soccer and football teams often using them for practice (which can be pretty fun to watch if you happen to be there at the right time).
If you're trying to get those steps in, you'll appreciate the network of walking paths and a nicely paved walking trail that winds through the grounds. It's well-suited for a morning jog, an evening stroll, or just working off that lunch you picked up downtown.
Sports more your thing? Constitution Park doesn't disappoint with its two baseball fields (home to Northern Baseball and other local teams), a tennis court for when you're feeling that Serena Williams energy, and a basketball court where you can shoot some hoops.
Family-Friendly Features
Kids getting restless? The large playground is a guaranteed energy-burner for the little ones. And yes, there are public restrooms available - because let's be honest, that's always good to know when you're planning to spend a few hours outdoors.
Natural Charm
One of the park's unexpected delights is its resident rabbit population. These furry neighbors can be spotted hopping around the grounds, adding a touch of wildlife magic to your visit. There's something rather special about enjoying your morning coffee or a sandwich while watching these little creatures go about their day in this clean, tranquil setting.
Bringing Fido Along?
Your four-legged friends are welcome here, and the thoughtful addition of dog bowls at the water fountains means you don't have to worry about your pup staying hydrated during your walk.
Good to Know
The park is lovingly maintained by Lexington Parks & Recreation, ensuring everything stays in tip-top shape for visitors. And perhaps best of all? It's open 24/7, year-round - meaning you can enjoy this little urban oasis no matter the season or time of day.
