    First time here. Came early and in the middle of the week. Lawn crew cutting fields. The smell of fresh cut grass and hay was wonderful. Clear morning, met a blue Heron. Quiet. Tranquil. Best to come during the week when fewer people are here.

    I love this park. There's really not a lot to it, but I find it to be just right. There is a big gorgeous lake you can paddle boat and canoe on, and also fish on. Some hiking trails are also available. There are a few pavilion picnic areas scattered around the park as well as other picnic tables that are unsheltered. My favorite thing to do at this park is grab a big blanket and some chairs to relax on and go chill in the grassy area surrounding the lake. It's beautiful!! Pack a picnic lunch and you're set! Usually the park is pretty quiet unless there is large party in the sheltered area. That can get noisy. All-in-all though I truly love this relaxation station spot in Louisville!

    Great place! Iconic, historic, and fun. Chances are that your parents, and maybe grandparents,…read morejumped off this rock into the cool water below. Be advised it is only maybe 3ft at deepest, rocks on bottom, and occasional waters naked. You know, nature stuff. Crawdads abound, and are fun to hunt. Only caveat is during dry spells the water can become less than savory. Toxic even. So be advised.​

    Big Rico park is a very cool and beautiful park located in the Cherokee park system that's created…read moreby Olmsted the same person who made New York's Central Park. 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.

    Cox Park is clean with a decent, safe playground, easy parking and an awesome view of the river --…read morea solid park! My family and I visited yesterday for some mid-day playground fun. The equipment seemed a bit aged but in good, clean condition. There were play options for toddlers as well as older kiddos and several swings. There is also ample greenspace for the zoomies, which looks over the river. We watched a few barges float by while there. This would also be a great place for a quiet lunch by the river. There were not many people in this park when we were there. We will be back with the kids!

    Carrie Gaulbert cox park is spacious park that's has a boat ramp onto the Ohio river one one end…read moreand a playground on the other. Naturally located on the river just off of river road in Louisville Kentucky. I'm not a boat person so I'll be reviewing the playground and walking riverside trails. The playground is pretty solid. It sits smack dab in the middle of a part of the park with no shade so on our visit in august it and the playground equipment was blazing hot. The park itself needs to be taken care of better by the parks and rec division of the city. Very dirty, poor lawn care and the sidewalk by the river was full of overgrown weeds and debris. Unfortunate that the park is in such bad shape. It has a ton of potential as not many areas in Lousiville lie as close to the Ohio river as this place does. Overall it's still a cool place to check out and grab nice views of the Ohio and I'm sure of I had a boat it be a nice place to dock as it is rather large and has a nice sized parking lot.

    I haven't been to McNeely in a while, probably since I was a kid but we have recently started going…read moreagain and it's definitely been enhanced! 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.

    Tiny park located off cedar creek road. You pull into a the parking lot and the road way is gated…read moreoff. So you park to the immediate left. The park itself features a small playground, a full court basketball court and lots of soccer fields. If you follow the concrete path near the parking lot towards the patio area and soccer fields you can follow that path around a short trail that eventually takes you through a gravel paved wooded area that runs along side the soccer fields. It leads back out to the road where it circles back to the blocked off road at the entrance. It's a giant circle. But it's a peaceful and easy trail. Overall solid little park and it's pretty close to my home. So I'll come up here and let the girls play on the playground. It's very rarely crowded. Most of the crowd heads to the larger McNeely Lake Park about 3 miles down the road as it has several massive playgrounds. So a lot of time when we don't want to deal with bit crowds I'll make the short trip here and let the girls run wild and blow off energy.
