About Marlboro Park
A Serene Escape in the City
Located in Lexington, Kentucky, Marlboro Park is a tranquil 9.1-acre green space that's been a local retreat since 1966. This local favorite offers that perfect balance of recreation and relaxation - the kind of place where you can kick off your shoes and forget you're still in the city for a while.
The park has become something of a sanctuary for nearby residents looking to stretch their legs with a morning jog or afternoon stroll. With its generous open spaces and calm vibe, it's easy to see why people keep coming back.
Play and Sports Options
If you've got kids in tow, the playground area is a no-brainer destination. It's got all the essentials - swings, climbing equipment - where little ones can play while you relax on a nearby bench.
Feeling a bit more active? The basketball and tennis courts are well-maintained for casual games. There's also a baseball field where you can practice your swing or organize an impromptu match with friends.
