The water is here for your personal enjoyment. Listen as the waves splash against the sandy shore line. They have benches all along the paths to get acquainted with nature . The stillness can be felt all around. The wind blows and grass actually grows here and feels great as you walk bare foot . Sit and swing yourself to better happy. Spend the day with the fam! Let the sunshine your smile back. Hold hands with the one who loves you. The day is yours . It's mine, it's yours all this beauty. You have to experience the water front to see how beautiful it truly is! If you're into the boating scene you can bring your own. Rent a jet ski! Or go for a kayaking trip. Whatever way you choose to have fun on the water can be done here . We just sit and enjoy one another . The splash of the water against the waves. It's a great change to a cactus and rock landscape. Once you go Kentucky you never will go back . If your a girl like me, it was the desert decision all my days prior. My new future is here among the Midwest trees, grass, and fresh air once my body adjusts to the climate conditions of the area . Sometimes the beauty is a short term miracle for me because of the headaches but they will pass . Until the next time we sit and think the water front feels like a lost paradise .

Definitely a cool place to visit!

I…read moreonly got to see a small sliver of trail that goes through Clarksville, around Ashland Park, but the whole trail is 7.5 miles long. My impression is: Whatta trail! I'm a big fan of a good multi-use pathway. You can walk, run, jog, stroll, bike or picnic along the Ohio River Greenway. You'll also find public restrooms, plus shops and restaurants all along the way. You'll be treated to views of the Ohio River as you go, as the trail follows the river. What a great resource for this part of southern Indiana. I hope to see more of the Ohio River Greenway the next time I visit.

It's organized around the weight of little and large dogs The cost is less than $20 a year. A little way out past the big city of New Albany the pups can get in the car, get excited and explore a park just for them. New members of the park. This opportunity is endless and all you have to do is have your current rabies vaccination on file. The pond is a particularly beautiful spot for the pups to play by. The surrounding countryside hills make the place feel lush. The pups can run and play. The gazebos are a great little addition to the parks. Are you coming? I'm going the pups have that energy to burn off. Time to make the next move and have some outdoor fun here at the members only pup dog park.

It was our first time there. Parking was really easy. Accessing the dog park was easy. I really appreciated a two-gate system to get into the big dog part of the park. There were about 5 dogs there. A couple of people with their dogs tried to get in but soon realized you have to be a member & have a key fob to swipe in. I thought it was reassuring to hear other members saying they couldn't let others in due to the safety & liability concerns it could cause for our dogs. The second time we went was around 4:00pm on a Tuesday. There were about 10 dogs. I'm not sure who has more fun. Me, watching Feller run & play with the other dogs. Or Feller, who actually runs & plays. Memberships are only $15.00/year. It's the best $15.00 I've ever spent!

Majority of leagues take place during the fall/winter seasons. They also do training camps for youths pretty much year round. Snack bar has a few snacks available for purchase, with burgers and nachos being the main type fare. The beer selection is primarily domestic, so if you're looking for craft or imported beers this is not your place. Bleachers and floor are all new for 2018, and they look/feel fantastic! New bleachers are 'closed' type bleachers, so drinks, balls, etc do not fall between the levels making it difficult to recover. There are three main courts up front (primary courts for leagues/KIVA camps) with two in the back (that also include drop down basketball courts, though I've never seen them used and I've been playing there for almost ten years). The group that owns/runs this place are phenomenal. Anyone that has played in the Louisville area knows the Kordes name, and they do a solid job running this facility overall. For indoor volleyball in the area, there is no better place to go.
