A very peaceful and pretty park in the middle of an industrial park. It has other trails that branch off of the main trail you can wonder around as well. Small Education Center that host a lot of children from the city to take field trips. A great way to give children an experience of the outdoors in the city. There are benches to sit along the way. Trees and flowers that are interesting. The rock walls along the path are different. Big parking lot. It is free to tour. The trails are marked well. There is a pond. We got to see a large ground hog that wondered out from the woods onto the trail to check us out.See more..

The area also has picnic areas and an amphitheater and a couple longer trails, but we didn't have time to check these out.See more..

3.5Winding Blade Road Marker(3 reviews) - Daniel Boone was here!! Spent < 1 hour Points of Interest & Landmarks • Historic Walking Areas
This is a typical Laurel County 1942 stone marker. The hostorical significance of this marker is that commemorates Boone Trace, Mershon's Crossing and the Battle of Wildcat Mountain from the Civil War as well as the 150th anniversary (sesquicentennial) of the founding of Kentucky in 1792. It is very easy to miss this marker if you are driving south west on Hwy 490. But the marker is right near the Pilgrims Baptist Church sign on the intersection of Hwy 490 and Winding Blade Road. Trust me you can feel the spirit of Daniel Boone!! You should add this to you bucket list if you are a history fanatic, or just a trail blazer.See more..

You can walk or run on the Riverwalk from Red Banks Park to Atkinson Park, a distance of about 2 miles. It's very pleasant and scenic and we enjoyed it a lot.See more..
