Great RESIDENTS

Old Park is Calvert’s first park and is located on 5th Avenue across the street from the Calvert City Golf and Country Club. The park is a lovely place for children to play and release extra energy, while parents watch and relax on the sun-filtered grounds.

Old Park is home to one of our 9–hole Disc Golf Course.  It is considered to be a technical course, working its way through wooded park.  Calvert City’s first baseball/softball field is here and is still utilized for practice or non-league activities.  Old Park is a great location for families and company picnics.

Doctors Park Sports Complex is located north of East 5th Avenue behind the Calvert City Civic Center and Calvert City Hall.  This park was formerly known as North Park.  Its name changed recently to honor the Doctors that moved here in the early days of Calvert’s incorporation and aided in its growth.  These Doctor’s include Dr. Richard Cocke, Dr. William “Bill” Colburn and Dr. Carroll Traylor.

The facilities include two (2) T-ball fields, three (3) lighted baseball/softball combination fields, one (1) lighted baseball field with grass infield, multiple soccer fields ranging in size from U-6 to U-12, free batting cage, 9-hole Disc Golf Course and two (2) lighted basketball courts.  There is playground equipment for kids and several picnic pavilions scattered throughout the complex. 

Doctors Park has a paved and lighted one-mile loop trail which connects to the Calvert City Greenway Trail.

The Calvert City Pickleball Courts are located within Doctors Park Sports Complex. This new fenced-in, outdoor, four-court pickleball area is adjacent to the Chris Bynum Skate Park. Locals play most every night and if you wish to play a pick-up game, reach out to the Calvert Pickleball Facebook page by clicking here. 

Calvert City’s Tennis Courts are located across the street from Old Park at the entrance to the Calvert City Golf and Country Club. The two-court facility was reconstructed and elevated with assistance from a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant. 

The Chris Bynum Skate Park is a concrete lighted park with multiple ramps for novice to proficient skaters and is located next to Doctors Park. Right off the Calvert City Greenway Trail and Doctors Park Loop Trail, this provides an excellent side activity while using the trail system.

Calvert City has a zero-tolerance for graffiti and will close the park until all graffiti is removed.

The skate park was named in memory of Calvert City resident, Chris Bynum, who believed in the importance of providing outlets for kids who prefer individual sports to team sport activities.

fThe Calvert City Greenway Trail is a working phase project since 2016. It started as a way to connect our three city parks with a multi-use trail to provide a safe way for pedestrians to be active. Now, we are on the second phase, which is connecting the heart of Calvert City with Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park with a completion date of November 2020.

Calvert City is working closely with Grand Rivers, Kentucky for phase three to eventually connect Calvert City to Grand Rivers and of course, Land Between the Lakes.

In early 2019, Calvert City began the year-long process of becoming a Kentucky Trail Town. Experienced trail users and citizens alike had a brainstorming event to kick-off the initiative. This is an exciting time for Calvert City. If you wish to be a part of the planning for this project, please e-mail info@calvertcityky.gov.

This single-track trail can be utilized for hiking, running, and mountain bike use. It is located off the multi-use trail in Doctor’s Park and is 5.08 miles. This beginner-level trail is a perfect escape into nature and is within 25 acres right in the heart of the city.  The trailhead is located by parking at the back of Calvert City Hall and taking the multi-use trail to the left until you see the Moneymaker Trail sign.
