A Louisville classic, beautiful areabin the park, don't swim there though !
One of my favorite places to visit in Louisville, beautiful and clean. The only reason I deducted a star is due to the condition of the Pavillion.
We love this place! It's relaxing (no lifeguards, kids can bring floats, and even pets get in the water!) and the water is perfect. There is a rope to swing on over the water and of course the Big Rock to jump from. Lots of people bring a cooler full of beer and just sit back and relax. So much better than a public pool! The only downside is the shores are littered with sharp little rocks and shells, so I prefer to wear shoes in the water.
Big Rock has lots of space, shade and wonderful views and can accommodate many gatherings all at once without people being too much in each other's way. Beargrass Creek runs through it, and provides ample opportunity for wading although this is not something that is recommended. Officially, the creek is not suitable for himself CB use but if you go there on a hot day, you will see pretty of people in there cooling off.
Great place for families! Be ready to be surrounded by lots of kids, some dogs, and people being loud and with music. In other words, fun place in the park to be with your family or friends! Should probably go somewhere else if you want to be in a quiet area, especially in the weekend or holidays!
