    I have to update my review as I find myself visiting this area many times throughout the year…read more There are no longer any posted "warning-pollution" style signs at this particular waterway, though of course that doesn't mean things are completely resolved (I have no idea either way). All I can say is that this is a beautiful, peaceful area that is well maintained by local park/county officials. They've built a modern bathroom that is kept clean (when open) as well. There are no trails here--just several picnic tables, grills, playground equipment, stone tables, and a boat ramp. It's a good place to pack a lunch, watch the boats coming and going and observe the animals.

    This is a public park area…read more Here you will find: a boat launch, restrooms, a playground and picnic areas with grills and trash cans. I have been to this park several times with my wife to cook out and fish. The fishing is not awesome or anything however it is very relaxing and fun to get outside. The area is always clean and the charcoal grills are usually always cleaned and ready for use. There is a playground area with swings and a multi purpose jungle gym. There have been as few as one other car load of folks to very populated. Even when loaded with folks, you can find a table and grill area open. There is a covered section with tables. I have seen birthday parties on multiple occasions. There is ample parking for the size of the area. I have posted some photos of the area so be sure to have a look. It really is a great place to get away to and have a picnic if you plan on grilling out or bringing sandwiches.

    A Knight's Oath "This is the oath of a Knight of King…read moreArthur's Round Table and should be for all of us to take to heart. I will develop my life for the greater good. I will place character above riches, and concern for others above personal wealth, I will never boast, but cherish humility instead, I will speak the truth at all times, and forever keep my word, I will defend those who cannot defend themselves, I will honor and respect women, and refute sexism in all its guises, I will uphold justice by being fair to all, I will be faithful in love and loyal in friendship, I will abhor scandals and gossip-neither partake nor delight in them, I will be generous to the poor and to those who need help, I will forgive when asked, that my own mistakes will be forgiven, I will live my life with courtesy and honor from this day forward." These words embody the nobility and virtue displayed by King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. The park was erected in hope that the ideals of Camelot and King Arthur would be reflected on the campus of Hopkinsville Community College. Walking towards the park you have a lovely sense of arrival seeing the pillar entrance to the park and the blossoming trees. It reminds me of a Japanese torii, a sacred gateway between heaven and earth and entrance to temples and shrines in Japan. This is definitely not your typical park. The sword in the stone and the round table in the park are very iconic and reminiscent of King Arthur. Yet, I loved everything about the park including the statues and architecture. This is a unique place to wander, enjoy Nature, and share with friends and loved ones.

    I really find this small park very serene and beautiful. I lived in Hopkinsville, KY, years ago,…read moreand this park was pretty much across the street from my apartment complex. The park is located on the campus of the University of Kentucky Hopkinsville Community College. Parking on the left side of the lot will lead you straight to the pathway to the Roundtable Park. There are lots of trees overhead, and the park can't be seen from the road. It truly is a little hidden gem. The round table is huge, and every time I've ever seen it I discover something I didn't notice before (this week I noticed N, S, E, & W we're located on the edges). It's massive. There is a Graeco-Roman Amphitheatre, and not only is it cool to look it, or maybe sit and imagine that you lived in an entirely different era, each step is a workout! You can't miss the scary, creepy statue of the woman, as my daughter used to call it when she was younger. I think it's an amazing piece of art, and fitting for where it is. I can only suggest that you look at my photos. It's hard to find the words to be descriptive. If you find yourself in Hoptown, hop on over to the Round Table Literary Park. Bring a book!
