Newport KY has very litte park space, and no central neighborhood meeting areas in the business district. However, a potential opportunity exists. Imagine the surface parking lot containing the World Peace Bell between 4th and 5th streets in Newport could become a “Washington Park” (albeit smaller in scale) for the city of Newport. Because it would be a place where residents would gather, it would also boost local business revenue and property values surrounding the park. Think of the possibilities: farmers markets, movie nights, yoga, festivals, concerts, and more. Learn more about the possibilties at http://newportpark.weebly.com. We are a group of Newport residents working to make this a reality. Help make this park happen by signing the petition!
