I went there to walk my dog and be in nature. The majority of the main paved walking path is actually separate from the park. It runs alongside the road that runs through the park. Because I was there around rush hour, it basically felt like walking on a sidewalk next to a busy street, rather than like walking in a park. Also, there was some construction and a lot of electrical lines with big metal bases along the path, which also detracted from the little bit of nature. But who knows, maybe I'll come back in the summer (I noticed a pool) and end up increasing my score.

I was almost convinced we were in the wrong spot until we arrived. There's a small area to park and a covered shelter before you walk into the woods. The paths are short enough to get a quick hike in or time in nature without taking hours to get through the woods.... but long enough to give you time to breathe and relax. Our toddler is able to walk most of the trail by himself, which is awesome. We all delight in finding things along the path and looking at the springs. There are also multiple benches to sit on if you need to take a break or would just like to sit and read a book in an area that makes you forget you are in downtown Lexington. It's not the most scenic spot in Kentucky or anything like that, but it's a nice, quiet and secluded respite from the city. If I lived downtown, I'd come here often. Oh. And it's FREE.

This quaint park, which was built in 1981, is in the middle of downtown Lexington. The park gets…read moreIts name from the unique shape. It is next door to Rupp Arena and sits at the intersection of three streets, which meet to form a triangle....somewhat. One leg of the triangle has rows of fountains, which shoot water into the air much like the Bellagio fountains in Las Vegas. Though, the Triangle Park fountains are not nearly as large or impressive, they are still really nice. The water cascades down 10-11 steps that actually face Rupp Arena and it all makes a festive display at night when the fountain is alight. The Park contains plenty of semi-mature trees that give lots of shade for the numerous tables and chairs there on brick/concrete patches. Even though there is concrete, skating (along with a list of other activities stated on a sign) is not allowed in the park. When I visited this park in mid-September, there was a food truck selling its wares; though, I do not know if it is available year-round. Overall, this cozy park is a nice addition to a downtown are that is very walkable.

I also am aware that people bring their horses out to ride. All the times I've gone, I've only run in to other people twice so it must be pretty large. Parking and space is ample!
