Dotson Park
Dotson Park is a cherished community space in Princeton, Kentucky, originally established as Dotson High School in 1910. In 1984, the property was leased to the city for use as a public park, and it was officially dedicated on August 6, 2005, by the Dotson Park Board
Dotson Days is an annual celebration held at Dotson Park, bringing together residents and visitors for a weekend of family-friendly activities and community spirit. The event, organized by Community Disciples, Inc., has its roots in a school reunion and has evolved into a broader community festival.
