👍👍 This is the trailhead for one of the most incredible bike trails in the country. Currently it is 19 miles long connecting a number of parks. I have ridden bike trails across the country so I know what is out there. This one is amazing, not to be missed. People often mention park,

    Great park for cycling with 20 miles of protected riding which is mostly flat with 4 challenging hills. Path drains well after rains and usually dries within 30 minutes.

    I used to go fishing here as a child and collected money from the fishermen for the Miles family, which was a great job that allowed me to collect walnuts.. It's wonderful what they've done with this park. They mention Bill but not Phyllis his wife in the descriptions of the land ownership, which is a bit sexist I think, but it doesn't detract from the beauty of the civic improvement on this land.

    If anyone is interested in gardening plots, please acquire one. Between this and our home grown herbs at the house, we eat fresh veggies almost all year round.

    Beautiful garden and northern terminus of an awesome multi-purpose trail. Trail has lots of ups and downs. Trail is currently closed as of 6/2023 about four miles to the south for bridge construction.

    Fun community garden, can see lots of native and out of state plants while here, most are well maintained with the occasional spectacularly maintained plot. Would recommend getting a plot here.

    Beautiful location for walking, hiking, biking or paddling. Louisville's hidden gem of a park system!

    Great slice of heaven with easy access and something for everyone. Hiking, biking, boating, play grounds picnic tables. All kinds of stuff. Just stop by one of the kiosks and get a map located on the side of the big permanent map for more info.

    Love going here in the evening to see the sunset. Nice walking trails. The bathrooms are always clean. There are several picnic tables to sit and enjoy a meal or activity. Short walk to the lake.

    Favorite spot to launch my round trip bike ride to the southern end of Broad Run an back. Shade and water available. Good public bathrooms. Excellent map of the park and wonderful community garden.

    Beautiful park. Still feels secluded around the lakes, even though it is a fully-developed park. Fishing is terrible though.

    Beautiful park. Several small lakes for fishing. Lots of paths and trails for hiking. Access to Floyd's Fork Creek for paddling.

    Huge community garden that had all sorts of vegetables, flowers, herbs, and even some trees planted this year. You can walk through the garden and look at all the separate plots and enjoy what each gardener grew. I was very impressed with all the variety of plants and flowers that we're there. Can't wait to see it next spring/summer.
