Stunning sculptures await at Thoroughbred Park This park spans 2.5 acres, and is a tribute to the Thoroughbred industry. You can admire seven incredibly life-size bronze racehorses, all masterfully crafted by renowned artist Gwen Reardon. There are 42 plaques honoring industry legends as you stroll through the park. While the vicinity can be a bit challenging with parking, locals are welcoming. Nearby street parking is also available across the street in a gravel parking lot. Truly, it's a photo-worthy dive into history!

Beautiful garden in the heart of the City. There is plenty of parking on the back side. You can take a stroll or just sit and relax on one of the many benches. The sculptures look real.

Really cool little scenic park to take pictures of statues and read about some of the all-time great people in the racing industry. Kids love to splash in the fountains or run up and down the grassy hill behind the fountains.

Nice Peaceful park where you can go read a book and relax. There is a coffee shop rite beside the park. Benches are provided. However, there are some homeless folk who hang out here as well (just in case you have some type of aphobia) For the most part they won't bother ya!! Enjoy!!

Nice little park right in downtown. The life size horses and jockeys are pretty cool to look at.

Spent a little bit of time walking through the park with my best friend, her boyfriend, their daughter and my fiancé. It isn't the biggest park on the planet, but there were a lot of nice statues of the horses and also, informational plaques on the ground about people of interest to the Lexington area. A quick walk, but a nice little break from the city buildings.

Lovely life-size sculptures of the end of the Kentucky Derby race. There is a fountain behind which makes Pleasant water noises. You can walk right up and look at these detailed sculptures. I stood in the middle as if the horses were running past me. Got a lot of nice photos. The park behind the wall also has lovely horse sculptures. You can Park on the street to take your photos.

Well done sculptures and nicely kept grounds. Lots of information presented in a fun way. Don't forget to go behind the wall and get the "finish line" view!

Amazing place. We went on a Sunday where there was little traffic, but we were able to see everything up close. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the employees friendly and informative. Great place to visit. Can’t wait to go back!
