Renamed after Bill Smothers in 1963 and completely reimagined after a major riverfront renovation that reopened in August 2012, the park spans six city blocks and offers a backdrop that is difficult to replicate: three signature fountains, a cascading waterfall, and unobstructed river views framed by the Owensboro bridge at dusk. The park offers three reservable outdoor areas for weddings, reunions, birthday parties, and private group gatherings. The Overlook, positioned at the foot of Frederica Street, features an illuminated canopy structure and panoramic river views.
