The Elizabethtown Nature Park has 104-acres of gently rolling former pastureland. Freeman Creek meanders through the park as it flows to the City's largest lake, Freeman Lake. The Nature Park has been set aside as a passive park, where residents can enjoy the natural beauty of our community. A tunnel, connecting the Nature Park and the north end of Freeman Lake Park, was constructed underneath Ring Road.
The park will also be home to the Hardin County Veterans Tribute. The tribute honors all Hardin county Veterans. Construction should begin in the spring of 2011 and hopefully be finished by summer of 2012. Local artist Rich Griendling designed the tribute. It will be structured as a five-sided star with bronze sculptures representing each branch of the U.S. military, posed in front of black granite monoliths.
