Parks & Recreation

Murray/Calloway County has two main parks in the city of Murray:  Central Park and Chestnut Park.

Chestnut Park is what the locals refer to as "the old city park".  This park features two baseball diamons, six basketball courts, new playground equipment, restrooms, paved parking, beautiful large trees, picnic tables, and shelters.  This park is located between 8th and 10th streets and is on Chestnut Street.

Central Park is large and features many new attractions.  A professional-grade disc golf course has recently been developed and new state-of-the-art automated batting cages have been installed on Arcadia Drive.  The park also has a network of hiking trails through tall timbers.  In addition, there are four baseball diamonds with centralize restrooms/concession stand. 

You will also find lots of shelters, playground equipment, picnic tables, and plenty of paved parking.  Playhouse in the Park, a community theatre, is also located here.

Bee Creek Soccer Complex, adjacent to the park located off north 4th Street, features several regulation soccer fields.  Click here to visit the website.
