    This small wonderful park is across River Road from Carrie Gaulbert Cox Park and Boat Ramp. Small but thoughtfully designed with fishing pond, soccer fields, children's playground, baseball field and walking or running track around the perimeter. I walk the perimeter and often walk along sidewalk to the Peacetime Memorial less than 1/2 upriver. Another 1/4 up and across Indian Hills Trail is Caperton Swamp, with quaint trails though small breathtaking wetlands area. I also enjoy walking across the street from Thurman-Hutchins Park to the river and watch watercraft on river or watch persons at the boat dock launching their boats or loading them on trailers. It's a lovely way to spend an hour or more!

    This is 1 of our favorite parks to bring the kids! Not alot of people so we can always bring the dog with us! There's a lot of trees so a lot of shade! It's just calm and peaceful and the kids and the dog love it!! So win win for everyone!!

    Come to this small park in the East End on River Road across from Cox's Park!The natural beauty is highlighted in Spring and Fall, but this park is nice all year. Thurman-Hutchins Park is great for an after school pit stop, getting your daily steps in, walking your dog, or taking your elderly parents on a short outing. When you drive in, you'll notice the small pond. People fish here and there's a little observation/fishing deck that's accessible and kid safe. The flat, paved trail offers several options so you can walk your preferred distance at your best pace. This is a great option for people with limited mobility as well as their caregivers! It's quiet and peaceful with benches along your route. So the paved trail is great for strollers and kids, but there's a shaded playground with bathrooms too! Soccer/softball/etc playing fields, a wetland trail(may be overgrown), a small pavilion with grills you can reserve, and the pond make this an easily accessible park (off I-71, close to downtown) one of the best, feature-packed parks in Louisville. Bring a picnic, use the charcoal grills, or order takeout from El Nopal, River Road BBQ, or King Fish.

    Beautiful space, loved the trails. However people left cigarette packets and random soda/ beer bottles on park benches. They do have trash cans and water fountains albeit a bit far apart.

    Been a while since we visited. Great little park for kids. And it's down by the river. Lots of options.

    I love this park. It is the start of a walking loop that includes Caperton Swamp and part of Cox’s Park. I only wish that in the fall and winter, all of the lights worked. It is so dark without them.

    This is a nice park with decent baseball fields but the restroom situation is disgusting! For a park that is ad beautiful as this, it needs major restroom updates for when spectators are her for sports, especially tournaments.

    This park is pretty great! The walking paths are calming and the foliage is diverse! So many native plants, my favorite is the giant patch of goldenrod in bloom. Also, on quiet days the deer can be seen through the trees.

    I think the park is horrible. We just had our family reunion there yesterday ( Aug 5th) . Trees were grown up everywhere like woods. The bathrooms were not only a long ways away from the shelter house we were at but the were back in an area the would be considered unsafe. They were also locked down. Several family members had to drive to the nearest gas station to use the bathrooms. Big disappointment for me. Definitely don't get stuck there at dark. We were loading our cars up and people were coming out of the woods and pulling up in there cars and getting out. Now what on earth is a group of guys doing in the park at 9:30 at night and it's pitch black dark. Would NOT recommend going to this park. Never again.

    Cute park with a 0.8 mile walking trail around a pond. Lots of sports areas including soccer and baseball fields.

  • 5/5 Melissa B. 1 year ago on Google
    My kids love this park mostly clean but no toilet paper in the restrooms. Stays busy when baseball practice is going.

    Great park... Little kids have playground area, dogs have space to run and a great walking path.

  • 4/5 Seth H. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park. Has a decent playground and a nice walking path. They do not take very good care of the baseball fields.

  • 5/5 Julie H R. 1 year ago on Google
    Well maintained outdoor playspace away from busy traffic! Great walking/running paths too

    Park with lots of open space! Maybe not somewhere I’d go to be in a pretty park since it’s a little bare, but this park offered access to lots of different ways to run, whether it’s into the park across the street, to the right towards the Lewis & Clark bridge, or to the left towards the BBQ restaurant. Always plenty of parking and well kept/clean.

    Great place to have a walk and get fresh air. Meet new people with similar interests. Most people there are quite friendly.

    The open spaces of this park are really nice, but the wooded trails are a popular cruising spot. There are a lot of men just lurking around so beware of that and what you might see out there.

    Overall great park except when it rains the fields tend to hold water.

  • 5/5 William W. 2 months ago on Google • 27 reviews New
    Very clean park, baseball and soccer fields, walking trails, small fishing pond, and nice playground. The park had plants of seating to relax on a sunny day and tons of people walking their dogs. One of the dogs even decided to take a dip in the water (against their owners wishes)
