Louisville's Cherokee Park is a 389-acre urban gem featuring a 2.4-mile scenic loop for walkers and cyclists amid grassy meadows, wooded areas, and rolling hills—all within a stone's throw of downtown. You'll also find more rugged trails suitable for horseback riding and mountain biking, as well as several smaller walking paths. Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the tennis courts, soccer field, and archery range, while bird lovers will want to spend time at the Nettleroth Bird Sanctuary.
You'll find picnic tables and grills scattered throughout the park so that everyone can take a relaxing break from their activities and enjoy a meal together. Louisville residents take pride in the fact that Cherokee Park was designed by the internationally-known landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, who also designed New York City's Central Park.
Cherokee Park is open dawn to dusk daily.
