Louisville Waterfront Park provides the best of both worlds: wide open green space and the convenience of being close to the downtown area. The 85 acres includes a wide range of activities for all visitors and has been expanded and updated extensively since work began in 2001.
As is indicated in its name, there are waterfront views and walking paths. Visitors can rent bikes and visit the playground areas or set up a meal at one of the many picnic areas. If you get hungry during your visit and didn’t bring your own food, there are constantly pop-up food trucks and markets, and the park is in walking distance of lots of downtown’s restaurants.
In the summer time, from May to September, there is a water play area to cool down in, and you’ll find large crowds sun bathing on the large, grassy Great Lawn or participating in events on the water.
