Hey there, park enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers! Are you ready to discover a slice of Kentucky heaven? Look no further than Stanton City Park in Stanton, KY. This 20+ acre wonderland is packed with more fun than you can shake a stick at (though we don’t recommend shaking sticks at anyone).
Splash Into Summer
Let’s kick things off with a splash, shall we? The Splash Park at Stanton City Park is the coolest spot in town – literally! When the Kentucky sun is blazing, there’s no better place to chill out. The Splash Park is open daily from Memorial Day to Labor Day, 12-5pm. It’s like having your own personal rainstorm, minus the gloomy weather.
Playground Paradise
Got kids with energy to burn? Or maybe you’re a kid at heart yourself? The playgrounds at Stanton City Park are your ticket to fun. With multiple playground structures, your little ones (or you – we don’t judge) can climb, slide, and swing until the cows come home. Just remember, if actual cows come home, you’re probably in the wrong place.
Take a Stroll on the Wild Side
For those who prefer their fun a little more laid-back, the walking trail is your new best friend. The Long Path circles the park while the Short Path cuts right through the middle. It’s perfect for morning strolls, evening walks, or midday “I-need-to-escape-my-desk” breaks. And don’t worry, pet parents – there are clean-up stations along the way for when nature calls your furry friend.
Hoop Dreams and Home Runs
Sports fans, rejoice! Stanton City Park is your field of dreams. The park boasts basketball courts and baseball fields that would make any athlete green with envy (or is that just the grass?). Whether you’re the next LeBron or simply enjoy a friendly game of HORSE, there’s a court with your name on it.
Soccer Kicks and Giggles
Soccer enthusiasts, we haven’t forgotten about you! With multiple soccer fields, including youth fields for the little kickers, Stanton City Park is basically the World Cup of local parks. The main soccer area spans nearly 56,000 square feet – that’s a lot of room for bending it like Beckham (or at least trying to).
Stage Your Next Big Hit
Are you the next big thing in music? Or maybe you just like to pretend you are in the shower? Either way, the Sheltered Stage is your ticket to stardom. This 2100 square foot stage is perfect for live performances, and it’s right next to the Splash Park Pavilion. Who knows, maybe your next gig will have a built-in water feature!
