The Hisle Farm property is approximately 280 acres of rolling pastureland located five miles northeast of downtown Lexington, Kentucky. The land was deeded to the Lexington–Fayette Urban County Government by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hisle in 1989 to be utilized as public park space. Development of this property is ongoing, with hiking and riding trails, fishing ponds, an orchard and garden and a pavilion planned for the site.

The first Hisle Park amenity opened to the public in October 2011, the archery range. This facility features a 10-lane target range with 2 permanent targets. Archers are welcomed to bring their commercially purchased archery targets to use on one of the other 8 shooting lanes.

Hisle Park's second amenity, the equestrian trails, opened in October 2012. The park trail system features 2 trails, a 1 mile and 2.5 miles in length, and is open to horse riders and hikers.
