"The Paducah Parks Department"

Trace Stevens, Athletics and Aquatics Supervisor, Paducah Parks Department

Trace Stevens, a lifelong resident of Paducah and 1989 Murray State University graduate, is dedicated to making our community a better place to live and play in his role as Athletics and Aquatics Supervisor for the Paducah Parks Department.

The Paducah Parks Department, funded by the City of Paducah, has a staff of 7 professionals that oversee the City's 17 parks, a variety of sports leagues and educational activities, swimming pools, and athletic fields.

2008-2009 Completed Projects: In 2008-2009, the Parks Department completed a number of major projects, including the completion of Phase I of the Greenway Trail (from Noble Park to Stuart Nelson Park), upgrades to restrooms and safety resurfacing of Noble Park facilities, and infield renovation and shelter roof and bench replacement in Stuart Nelson Park.

Upcoming Projects: During the remainder of this year and in the days to come, the Parks Department will focus its attentions on the Seasonal Ice Rink, moving its administrative offices to the former National Guard Armory across from Noble Park, Greenway Trail Phases II & III, and building the accessible playground in Noble Park. Plans also include the installation of security cameras in Noble Park.

The Ice Skating Rink will be built at 121 Jefferson, in the downtown Farmer's Market Parking Lot. The rink will be open from November 15, 2008 through January 5, 2009, and will be available for public skating as well as reserved private parties and celebrations.
