I am very hesitant to review Lapping Park. Did you ever have your own secret spot you really enjoy…read moreand you don't want it spoiled by crowds? That's me and Lapping Park. Lapping Park is a very small in size facility. Nothing like some of the huge parks in Louisville. Lapping is heavily wooded and during the summer months provides a great shade canopy. Additionally, during the Fall, the colors are beautiful. For walkers, there are gravel paths and the majority are fairly flat which makes easy walking for senior citizens. We often pickup lunch at local restaurants and drive to Lapping to eat. It's a quiet, serene place. During the winter months restroom facilities are closed, but they do have a couple port-a-pots available. Additionally, there are a couple play areas with swing sets. The play areas aren't real large and I could see them getting crowded easily. Several picnic tables available, some under shelters. I might also mention, there's a 50/50 chance you'll see deer.

Located in the highlands/Cherokee portion of the city of Louisville. I stopped by this park the other day with my wife and 4th horn daughter who is 18 months old. We had planned to play on there small playground but she fell asleep so we Chelsea out the scenery instead. They have lots of water that's ankle high and lots of rock that allows you to walk out in and get in the water. It also a few small trails that surround the park that lets you see yeh park from several angles. The park includes seven benches on the banks of the water for viewing pleasure. They also have a giant pavilion that can be rented out. Which looks like at one point was very impressive. Now it's not upkept and filled with graffiti. It's honestly the only eye sore here. Hopefully they clean it up. Overall cool place that looks like it has 3 different parking lots for different entry points. Although the water is low enough and there is a bough rocks to easily walk this small park and get to any entrance. We had a nice visit here and I look for art to coming back with my other kids and enjoying the exploring and playground.

But it's because of this that we ended up in the Big Rock Park section of Cherokee for the first time. What a great find! My kids had a blast playing on the small playground, which included a "big rock" to climb on. Parking is easily accessible, but what I appreciated the most was the fact that the creek is right there, with ample green space to run around and enjoy. The pavilion looks like it's seen better days, but signage showed it will be getting a renovation soon. I want to come back here for a picnic and to explore the creek some more!

When you doom scroll, you come across many different places that are true hidden gems. Door To Nowhere, or Heigold House, is definitely an oddity and salute to the past. Some housekeeping, you know, things to know about this place. BE CAREFUL. This sits on a roundabout island with steady traffic. Be mindful to the traffic flow and businesses nearby (I parked at a nearby business off the road and walked over here). Be kind to the natural beauty that surrounds this. And most of all, be respectful. As I said, this sits on a roundabout with flowerbeds surrounding it. Whether you are facing front, as in looking at the front of the façade, or looking from the rear, please stay on the sidewalks provided. Take in the informational plaques as well. Built by Christian H Heigold, a successful stonecutter. Majority of the house was completed in 1853. Heigold was a master at stonecutting and completed the home with busts of Presidents George Washington and James Buchanan. Heigold was also a staunch opponent of the 'Know Nothing Party,' and anti-immigration political party and I would like to think that he built his house with all the busts was a big middle finger to those that were anti-immigration. This façade sat in what was known as the The Point neighborhood, which was favored by those that moved to the city from the New Orleans area. Once Louisville diverted the Beargrass Creek away from downtown, this place started to flood annually. Shifting people away from the neighborhood and then the Great Flood of 1937 happened. Slowly the city started buying houses and demolishing them. Ultimately using the land as a dump site. Then this façade was listed on the National Registry of Historical Places. Remained in that area which became Thruston Park. That is until a developer bought the land adjacent to this and build condos. They moved this massive beast, 70,000-pounds, across River Road to where it sits today.
