    Mainly come here to play the disc golf course but there are several pavilions and an electric car changing station. Dog park also for your four legged friends. Tennis and pickleball courts and a football field. Nice little pond to fish ....don't eat ... Come enjoy

    Very nice park. The dog park area is really nice too.

    I am giving 5 stars with 1 word of caution - The park has plenty to offer: from fishing to dog parks and pickleball. There is something for everyone...... and that is where the caution comes in - I have seen a LOT of suspicious and illegal activity in the park. I wish there was more patrolling performed. While I have never had a serious encounter, I have felt uncomfortable.

    The place is beautiful in the wooded area around the pounds but it's completely full of trash from fishing equipment to beer cans to empty food containers it's sad to see that this is how people treat things! There is a really pretty water fall when it rains if you look past all the trash.

    Our family’s favorite playground! So glad they repaved the parking lot, makes the entire experience a lot more enjoyable.

    It's a beautiful park. We had a lovely time. Everything was wonderful. The kids could run and play. We could see them from where we were located. Everything was wonderful. Can't wait until we have another Picnic.

    😪 It's so sad to go to the park and see this kind of stuff over and over. The park supervisor, who didn't want his picture taken, told me directly that he couldn't keep up with the vandalism and the constant trash, despite having numerous trash cans available. Do better, Louisville. 🙄

    The park is great overall! There are a decent amount of tennis/pickle ball courts and a fairly big playground area.

    Great park! My kids love the playground! It's not huge, but it has so many different things for the kids to do and enjoy! Keep up the awesome work on the park!

    Very nice golf course overall. Some of the greens were a bit rough - bumpy ride!

  • 4/5 Ronald L Usery J. 8 months ago on Google
    My wife and I came to the park by the tennis courts and enjoyed some time outside as it started to cool off.

  • 5/5 Alejandro Luis Sanz G. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing 🤩

  • 5/5 silas s. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a picnic and grilled steaks. Had a good time until someone juat walked thru where we were. No reason too. So much space around us. Lol. The place is nice. But some visitors are rude apparently

  • 5/5 Dave C. 1 year ago on Google
    Our family loves this park. Nice, well kept playground structures. Some of the nicest outdoor tennis courts in town with great LED lights, basketball courts, tons of brand new pickleball courts, frisbee golf, etc.

    I really like the dog park but I have a great Dane and people push him and stuff but they are nice to the other dogs

  • 4/5 BobbyEarl 4 years ago on Google
    The disc golf course was okay. I played 10 holes had to go back to work. Plus it was too hot

  • 5/5 Scott G. 1 year ago on Google
    Pickleball courts are here; lots of them. Frisbee golf course also. Basketball court, playground, and dog park.

  • 5/5 josh w. 3 years ago on Google
    This course is tough, yet low scores are achievable. Pretty open layout. Course is in great condition. Greens roll smoothly and true.

    We visit the dog park quite often. Bubba, our dog, loves it! However, I do wish there was better parking for dog park visitors.

  • 4/5 graprilapril1 1 year ago on Google
    Large nice park. Well kept. Saw some suspicious vehicles near the entrance but never had any problems.

  • 5/5 Katie S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice park for the whole family. Great playground, tennis courts, dog run, basketball court and lots of open space to run around and enjoy the outdoors.

  • 4/5 Samara H. 1 year ago on Google
    Playground is always a fun time for our kiddos. The only downfall are the swings that are down by the new basketball court. Why on earth are the swing separated from the actual playground area? Bathrooms weren’t open and haven’t been opened since Covid.

    Charlie Vet is a great disc golf course for locals but sometimes gets a bit overgrown. The back 9 can also be a mudslide even if it hasn't rained. But the rest of the park is beautiful and very spacious

  • 5/5 toni k. 1 year ago on Google
    Took my dog to the dog park. It was very clean and had water & bowls available for the dogs. Plenty of trash cans & doggy poop bags to clean up after your dog. The only downside is the fact that there is asphalt on part of it & seems like that would get hot as the weather gets warmer.I would definitely bring my dog back here but it's too far from where I live.
