Camp Catalpa Park
About the Park
Camp Catalpa Park is located on the East Side of Lake Reba. In the 1970s the land was designated as a bird sanctuary by meeting guidelines including hunting is not allowed, trees are plentiful, and there is a water source.
Beginning in 2014, the Richmond Parks and Recreation Department has made the following improvements: updated bathrooms, removed the old metal shelter and installed a new large wooden shelter, installed new roofs on the bathroom and the small shelter, removed 10 acres of honeysuckle and invasive species/ overgrowth, expanded the 0.5 Mile Walking Trail to a 2 Mile Walking Loop, installed a new playground, and installed new signage. Throughout the project, we worked with the KY Department of Fish and Wildlife to ensure that anglers were able to have more opportunities to fish on the lake, which was an added benefit to the increased mileage of the trails. The disc golf course was expanded to an 18 hole course.
