About the Park
Langstaff Park also known as Betsy Ross Park is located at 1312 Langstaff Avenue. It's a small (0.6 acre) neighborhood park with a picnic shelter and playground.
New playground equipment and a pour-in-place safety rubber surface were installed in 2022. A portion of the project was funded by a Kentucky Department of Environmental Protection Crumb Rubber Grant.
History
The historical marker at the park honors Sara Campbell (1890-1965). Campbell designed and presented an official flag for the City of Paducah in 1961. Campbell’s husband, John Pearce Campbell IV, deeded the land for Langstaff Park to the City in 1973 in honor of his wife.
