    1800s railroad bridge still in use.

    Located in Clarksville, IN however, yet another great addition to the vast Louisville Metro Park system. While not controlled by Metro proper Southern Indiana has many great parks that compliment the world renowned parks in Louisville. 2 snaps up in a circle for this gem!

    Stunning view of downtown Louisville.

    Ashland Park doesn't seem to be much, but man, it makes for the perfect view of the Louisville skyline. I was on my way to the Falls of Ohio when I saw the sign for Ashland, and had to stop and explore. It leads right down to the river bank, also with a sidewalk that'll take you over to the Falls. The grassy space with a gorgeous view looks perfect for a picnic, or just for some time for relaxation. I'd even say it's perfect for tourists! (Not to mention free ;)

    Ashland Park is the go to for many photographers and news media wanting a shot of The Louisville Skyline.

    A beautiful park located on The Ohio River in Clarksville. Its a favorite location for photographers and videographers. Ashland Park has a playground for the kids as well as restrooms. It's an excellent spot for watching the sunset!

    Sam Peden Community Park is a good-sized park that needs more trees…read more There's lots to love about Community Park. The walking path is long and well-kept. If you need an easy path, there's the loop around the large duck and goose pond. If you want something a little more challenging, the path leading back to the 4H Fair Grounds has a decent elevation and optional stairs. There are multiple playgrounds for kids and a few areas for sports and games. Nearby are also shelters that can be reserved for events. Parking is plentiful and in multiple spots. There is also a growing effort to install more public art, a reading path, and some free-range meadow grasses. I'm hopeful that the trees grow back after the building of the Academy apartments and that more are planted around the path to provide more shade during the hot summer months. But a great, local park!

    After living in New Albany for several years, we discovered the magic that is Sam Peden Community…read morePark (or just Community Park if you grew up around here.) The park boasts loads of amenities in a well-kept landscape. For bird lovers: there's a gorgeous pond which is visited by a lot of ducks, geese, and local bird friends. There's a great 1.2 mile walking track that circles the park, offering views of the pond and a walk and read (single book pages at stops along the trail) for folks with kiddos. They have two playgrounds, four sheltered areas, restrooms (although I've only seen them open twice - pro tip: go to Aldi across the street from the park if they're closed - fast, easy, and clean!), a few short nature trails, green space, a sand volleyball court, soccer fields, a basketball court, and a heck of a lot of tennis courts. I'm new to roller skating and the tennis courts here are a dream come true! Yes, this may not be their intended purpose, and yes, one tennis player one time may have gotten a bit peeved BUT there are so many courts, you don't have to feel guilty about taking away anyone's ability to play tennis. During the week, I've never found the park too crowded. In the early mornings, virtually empty minus some walkers and tennis players. In the evening, loads more folks but still has never felt too crowded, plus LOTS of dog walkers which always makes me excited to see so many sweet puppy faces strolling around. Basketball games are generally happening. On the weekends, this place does get busy. Shelters are available for rent, so there's often parties taking place, we've seen tennis tournaments, soccer games, and more but with how large the park is, we've never felt overcrowded or like we've lost our personal space and have always been able to find easy parking. I would highly recommend this park any time of day and any day of the week.
