Parks & Nature
Biggest park in the city, there's a couple fenced off dog areas, volley ball courts, and a large pond. This is a great place to pick up some food and take for a nice lunch outdoors at a picnic table or under a shade tree.

Feeling a little more adventurous or in tune with nature? Raven Run is a nature santuary with miles of trails that traverse fields, streams, and have some very difficult trails as well. If you're feeling up to it, there's a trail that leads to a cliff overlooking the Kentucky river with amazing views. There's lots of nature to be seen here. Just be aware they have rules you might expect at a nature sanctuary, such as no food/alcohol/pets on the trails. I'd encourage bringing lots to drink though, on hot days the hike can be very taxing.

Entertainment & Activities
Lexington is known as the horse capital of the world. Go see the races if you're here during the spring or fall meets, go early for Breakfast Trackside and get a buffet breakfast and watch the thoroughbreds during their morning exercises. Tailgating in the back parking lots (aka The Hill) is a local tradition. You'll also see everyone dressed in their best coming to bet on the races.
