After nearly a decade of speculation, planning, and construction, the grand opening of Gatton Park on the Town Branch is fewer than 100 days away. The 10-acre park will officially be ready for the public on Saturday, Aug. 23.
Celebrations begin at 12 p.m. with a ribbon cutting and family-friendly attractions like:
- Live music + dance performances from local artists
- Face painting
- Visual art gallery
- Dog-friendly programming
- Food + bevvys from LEX’s best spots
Replacing the Manchester Parking Lot behind Rupp Arena, Gatton Park on the Town Branch is a public park built with private funds. It isn’t too late to make your own contribution and become one of the hundreds of donors responsible for funding amenities including:
- ADA accessible playground + splash pad
- Outdoor performance venue
- Climbing wall
- Reading room
- Games area
- Arts hub
- Dog park
- Food village
- Great Lawn
