New Dog Park

Independence Park has gone to the dogs... But in a good way. A new fenced section for dogs opened on November 5th.

The park, at Alben Barkley Drive and Lone Oak Road, was donated to the city by Independence Bank. The bank had intended to build its building there, before deciding on their Broadway location.

Independence Park is open from 8am to sunset, daily. Paducah Parks and Recreation said dogs need to leashed outside the pet portion of the park.
