Let alone a huge river is truly amazing. The beautiful Ohio is along side this water park under the Big Four Bridge on the Louisville, Kentucky side. You can let the kids play in the water and on various jungle gym playgrounds. Parking is free but most individuals walk or bike here. Relax under a tree that will tell you a story and swing.

But overall the park is really popular among locals. Lots of kids were in park when we visited the playground with our daugher.

Along with have a beautiful gazebo, bathroom facilities and some green space, it also has a cute playground area. One very nice touch: The playground is fenced in, with a gate that latches. While you should obviously keep an eye on your kids, this fence makes me at least feel a bit better about letting my son run around in this area when he gets a bit older. In the meantime, we enjoyed the swings. It has one bucket swing, which was great for us. The biggest portion of this area is taken up by a playset that kids can hang, climb and slide on. Benches surround the area, making it great to find a spot to sit and relax while kids play. I would have taken photos, but the area was full of kiddos when I was there this week -- a good indication that this is a good area to play in. The Highlands neighborhood boasts several great parks, and Willow Park is definitely one of them. Don't overlook it when you're making your way around the neighborhood and crave some fresh air.

It's small, but offers a playground, picnic area, soccer field and a small walking trail. It's right smack in the middle of a neighborhood, and there is no parking area so you'll have to street park in front of someone's house. I felt a little uneasy here, as there were some sketchy characters and not in the safest of areas. It is what it is. Not a stellar park but not an awful one either.

Bingham Park is a small, four-acre neighborhood park beloved by those, like us, who live around it. Fun fact: It was designed by the Olmsted Brothers in 1915. It has a set of swings and a jungle gym, which my son now particularly loves. This includes several slides, his favorite. There are a few places where a kid could easily fall off the play center, though, so keep an eye out when your kids are playing on it. The park seemed better cared for compared to when I wrote my last review last year. The graffiti was gone, and the grass was well maintained. There's parking up on the hill too in case you want to drive to this somewhat hidden spot. If you love Louisville parks and especially the lesser-known ones, Bingham Park is definitely worth a visit!

This was a very interesting presentation to learn more local history. Sound system was okay, but sometimes less than ideal with the nearby playground activity which was expected. The nearby interstate traffic would sometimes cause the building to shake very noticeably, which was a bit disconcerting. Seating was okay. I did think it would be nice if the chair feet had either pads or covers installed to help reduce the very significant noise when they were moved across the concrete floor. Plentiful free parking beneath the interstate. Building, parking, and playground areas are all accessible. Playground equipment is VERY impressive and one of the nicest public playgrounds that I have ever seen. Quite a bit of the area has the recycled rubber matting surface, which is very squishy. Today's weather in early March is mid-60s and it was fantastic to see so many people utilizing the spaces.

Calling the PlayPort a "playground" does not do it justice…read more This is a 3.5-acre, kid-discovery, homage-to-repurposed-materials, get-ALL-the-wiggles-out, hands-on, interactive kiddo wonderland. We didn't know what to expect when we brought our son here during Spring Break, and ... yeah ... I think my eyes were about as big as his. This playground ... for lack of a better word ... includes large towers with impressive slides that kids and adults can safely climb and slide down from. It features repurposed construction and boat equipment that my son loved to climb into and play with. And it's clear that STEM learning is central to how this space was designed. For instance, in one section, kids can pull a rope to raise a large metal shipping container -- teaching them about how a pulley works -- and a tube that kids can climb through goes through the hollow shipping container. It's clear that whoever designed this attraction had fun doing it. There is also an event/meeting space. I bet some really great summer camps could take place here. PlayPort is part of the expansion of Waterfront Park, so it's also a good excuse to go down by the river and appreciate what the area has to offer. And it's in West Louisville. I love that the West End has access to a gem like this. PlayPort includes lots of picnic tables, so definitely make it a activity for the family. And there's lots of free parking on the street and in a lot. The PlayPort is a great, new must-visit for Louisville!

There are plenty of spots for fishing but some of them you will need to take a short hike down a gravel road. If you bring a wagon make sure it has bigger wheels but probably best to carry everything to make it easier. There is a fishing dock as well that's pretty big and most definitely is shareable with a few groups. The hiking trail that extends around to the dam is a fun walk since it goes in and out of wooded covering. Makes it great for sunny days as well. The playground is nice and maybe small to moderate size. There are BBQ stands to use and picnic tables. There are bathrooms but not very quick to get to from most parts of the park so keep that in mind. Great place to kayak as well! Great views and since the lake is narrow it makes it feel more like a river to go through. Super fun place! Glad to see them doing more work on it Only criticism is that there is lots of trash and even though it's the patrons fault, the park could do a better job at cleaning it up. Watch your little ones so they don't pick up pokey fish hooks or broken bottles.
