Judge Voegele Appoints Stewart Park Task Force

Oldham County Fiscal Court Establishes Stewart Park Task Force

A Stewart Park Task Force has been created by Judge-Executive David Voegele to review and evaluate responses from a recent Stewart Park Community Survey and develop recommendations for the Fiscal Court regarding the park’s long-term vision and development. The survey sought public feedback on the future of Stewart Park, a 225-acre wooded and streamside property along Harrod’s Creek near Buckner that represents a once-in-a-generation conservation and recreation opportunity for Oldham County.

.Areas of focus for the Task Force will include conservation and natural habitat protection, preservation of wildlife, improvements to existing trails and potential new routes, access to Harrod’s Creek, and the addition of necessary facilities such as restrooms, parking, and picnic areas.

In addition, the Task Force will explore educational programming opportunities, environmental stewardship initiatives, and safety considerations to ensure the park remains both welcoming and responsibly managed.

Stewart Park’s 225 acres of forested terrain and stream corridor provide the only public access to Harrod’s Creek in Oldham County, making it a unique and valuable public asset. Community participation in the survey reflects strong interest in preserving the property’s natural beauty while enhancing responsible public access.

The Task Force is expected to present its findings and recommendations to the Fiscal Court this summer, following a series of meetings and public discussions.

Updates on meeting dates and opportunities for continued public engagement will be shared in the coming weeks. Volunteers for ’Friends of Stewart Park’, assist with upkeep of the park, will be sought later.

The Stewart Park Task Force will be chaired by Parks and Recreation Director Gary Parsons. Serving on the task force are Stephanie Barter, Nell Bradley, Adrian Doleman, Marcia Santos Elder, Bill Ferko, Chris Haunz, Kim Hydes, Kevin Jeffries, Brent Likins, Mary Lowry, Mike Prather, Greg Smith, Nathan Stewart, Bob Vinsand and Danny Warren.
