Secretariat Park

Secretariat Park in Paris, Kentucky, honors the legacy of the legendary racehorse Secretariat with a life-size bronze sculpture and a striking three-story mural depicting his historic win at the 1973 Kentucky Derby. Opened on November 11, 2023, the park features limestone storytelling pillars that celebrate both Secretariat's racing and breeding career and the vital thoroughbred industry in the region.

Designed by Thomas J. Nieman, a retired professor of landscape architecture, the park is managed by a dedicated board that includes local community members and artists. The park serves as a tribute to Secretariat's enduring impact on the small Kentucky town where he retired, reflecting the rich equine heritage of Bourbon County, home to numerous horse farms.
