Outdoor Sports Complex Discussion
City Manager Daron Jordan led the Board through a discussion regarding the
outdoor sports complex under design for the former Bluegrass Downs horse track
complex and a portion of Stuart Nelson Park. City Manager Jordan and Parks &
Recreation Department Director Amie Clark are the City's appointments to the
facility's Project Working Group. The Working Group's goal is to finalize the design
in the next few weeks. The project will affect the current location of the Dog Park at
Stuart Nelson Park, and this week the project architect submitted a letter to the City
and County recommending the Dog Park to be moved to Noble Park. Clark said a
possible relocation site at Noble Park is Anna Baumer Field. This is the large field
behind the amphitheater near the Greenway Trail. Jordan also said dog relief areas
are included in the outdoor sports complex's design. The Dog Park relocation must
be approved by the City, County, and McCracken County Sports Tourism
Commission since the cost to relocate the park is included in the overall cost of the
complex.
Commissioner Smith inquired about the location of the Disc Golf Course. Parks and
Recreation Director Amie Clark stated that it is their goal to keep the disc golf course
at its current location; however, a few holes may have to be moved. They will work
with the original designer of the course regarding any change.
