As the Mayor of Dawson Springs I welcome
you to the official website for the City of Dawson Springs “A Very Special Place”.
The website has been created to give you a glimpse of our
community located in Western Kentucky
off the Wendell Ford
Parkway
(Western Kentucky Parkway)
and to provide information on local services, current events and
community activities.
We take pride in
both history and the future of our community.
Dawson Springs is home to a wonderful Independent School System
for grades K-12. Numerous
recreational opportunities are available from a summer collegiate
baseball game played on our
historical site “Riverside Park” where the Pittsburgh Pirates played in
the early 1900’s, an 18 hole golf course located at beautiful Pennyrile
Forest State Resort Park, to our city park where 4 ball fields, walking
trail, swimming pool and tennis and basketball courts are located.
Stories of the past
are abundant and someone is always ready to share one with you.
Our Historic Downtown has many buildings listed on the National
Register. We offer
full-scale services in police, fire, water and sewer, recreation and
much more.
With a population
of approximately 3,000 residents, it is a friendly town, and makes
everyone feel welcome.
As you visit our
site, I hope it helps you to know what a wonderful community that Dawson
Springs is and welcome you to be a part of our city, be it as a visitor,
future employee/employer or a resident.
Sincerely,
Ross Workman, Mayor

Garden Club Will Sponsor Beautiful Yard Contest | The Pennyrile Garden Club will sponsor a “Yard of the Month” award beginning in June. The award will honor residents of Dawson Springs who take pride in their homes and landscapes, inspiring others to do the same.
Awards will be given for the months of June, July, August,
September and October. Recipients will receive a Yard of the
Month sign which will remain in their front yards for one
month, a certificate of recognition from Pennyrile Garden
Club and recognition on the Dawson Springs Web site.
A resident may nominate his or her own yard or another
yard. A nomination box will be located in the Dawson Springs
Branch Library, or nominations may be made by calling Imogene Davis, president of the Pennyrile Garden Club, at 797- 2625. All entries must include the name and complete address of the nominee and must be
received by the 15th of the month.
Judges will use the following criteria as guidelines when choosing the Yard of the Month:
•The yard is neatly groomed.
•The yard is pleasing to the eye with a variety of plants and
landscape features.
•Buildings, fences, porches and patios on the property are
in good repair.
•The yard is free of litter, debris, and junked or inoperable
vehicles.
•Extra consideration may be given to yards which show
additional effort through the use of attractive art pieces, potted
plants, birdhouses, decorative mailboxes, lawn furniture,
etc.
All judging will be based on what is visible from the street.
Evidence of the homeowner’s pride in his or her yard will
determine the final decision.
Nominated yards must be within the Dawson Springs city
limits. A yard may win only once in a season.
