Fayette County residents can vote on potential designs for Fayette County’s first park with water access.
In May 2022, the city of Lexington purchased 30 acres of land along Old Richmond Road near the Interstate 75 bridge to create the new park, called Kelley’s Landing for $1.16 million.
Since then, the city has cleared debris from the new park and made other minor changes as a master plan was developed.
The Fund for Greater Lexington , a nonprofit, has invested $175,000 to help fund that master plan, which is being overseen by Gresham Smith, an architecture, engineering and design firm.
Since June, Gresham Smith and Civic Lex, which has spearheaded public input on the project, have received feedback from more than 1,000 Lexington residents to determine what types of amenities people want in the park.
