About the Park
Waymond Morris Park combines a 1.5-mile paved walking trail with a fishing lake and a four-field football complex. The park is located on Todd Bridge Road, just south of Southtown Boulevard.
Visitors can plan a walking outing, spend time fishing from the shoreline, or attend organized football activities.
Paved Walking Trail
Owensboro Parks & Recreation lists a 1.5-mile paved walking trail at Waymond Morris Park.
The route offers an option for visitors seeking a longer walk within a community-park setting. Follow current park signs when choosing your route.
The published distance is not a verified turn-by-turn route. This guide does not identify a specific loop configuration or provide a downloadable GPS track.
Surface & Accessibility
The city identifies the trail as paved. Verified measurements for slope, cross-slope, width, and other accessibility features are not included in this guide.
A paved surface alone does not establish accessibility for every visitor.
Fishing Lake
Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources lists an approximately 5-acre lake at Waymond Morris Park, with shoreline access available year-round during limited hours.
The city states that boats are not allowed on the lake.
Year-round access does not mean the lake is open around the clock. Check posted hours, current fishing-license requirements, species regulations, and lake rules before fishing.
Football & Community Recreation
Waymond Morris Park contains a four-field football complex used for youth football events.
Visitors who prefer a quieter walk may want to check the event schedule before planning an outing.
History & Name
The park was formerly known as Southwest Park. Its namesake, Waymond Morris, was a teacher, football coach, and former mayor of Owensboro.
The park’s football facilities connect its present-day recreation role with part of its namesake’s community legacy.
