Legion Park

It's a fun park. The play area is not as big as Smothers', but this park has a lot more to do: it's more "woodsy", there's basketball hoops and soccer nets, there's a track to run or walk on, there's exercise equipment to do body-weight exercises on, and of course there is a play area (the play area has a Zipline, too). The park has a couple covered buildings that (I think) can be reserved for parties or large gatherings. The park is usually less busy than Smothers Park, which is also nice. At Christmastime, there are Christmas lights up at this park, too.

Peaceful environment with plenty of large, mature trees that shade the entire park and give it its unique feel. I like to take my dog here because I can take the leash off of him, and he can play with other dogs that may be there in the designated fenced-in dog area. Also, this particular park is perfect for picnics.

I gave 4 out 5 only because they took out the public grills. Great place to be a kid or spend time with you dog at the dog park. Bring food and eat at one of the many picnic tables.You can get your cardio on walking the loop. Also has a small calisthenics workout area. Even has USB ports at blue charging bench.

Lovely place to take your children! I take my lil sis here and we always find ways to have fun! On the monkey bars we keep hanging until we spell the correct words the other play chose

I visited my sister who still loves in Owensboro, where we both grew up, and took my nephews to the Christmas lights at Legion Park. It was surreal being back there as an adult, taking some kids to a thing I used to do as a kid. The part equipment is a blast. The lights were great. The paths are smooth and fun for the kids' scooters. It was awesome.
