 College Park Gym is located at 15 Wheeler Avenue and houses the offices for the Parks & Recreation Department. Many of the activities sponsored by the Parks & Rec. Department, especially during the winter months, take place in this facility.
The building, according to the original plans, was constructed in 1925, and was originally constructed as an athletic complex for Kentucky Wesleyan College, as well as for Southeastern Christian College.
The building itself has undergone extensive renovation. Recently added to the gym is an elevated walking track (15 laps = 1 mile) which is open to the public on a limited basis 7 days per week. Please refer to the table below for typical hours of operation for the College Park Gym.
 The Civitan basketball league uses this facility for its winter season. The gym has bleacher seating for up to 500 people, a concession stand, state of the art scoreboard and recently renovated floors.
Special programs are offered through the Parks and Recreation Department throughout the year, many of which are held at College Park Gym. A complete schedule of events can be found by clicking this link.
Future plans for expansion include the possibility of an indoor swimming pool, which will allow the swim team to have a home base for their practices.
The Parks and Recreation Department is always interested in ideas for new programs which they can offer to the general public. If you have any ideas, talents or interest in helping us increase our programming, please take a minute to fill out our online contact form or call us at (859) 744-9554.

These hours are the hours under normal circumstances. The hours must be adjusted occasionally to accomodate special events, programs, or activities scheduled for College Park Gym. At times, situations develop that are beyond our control which may also force us to adjust the hours. When the hours are changed from the norm, the temporary hours will be posted at the gym, and in this website in the News and Announcements section. |
