This is a beautiful park. My dad taught me how to ride my bike, I learned how to fish here, SWAM in that same swimming pool. Thats the past, Im no saint, HELP. PLEASE. In my view the parks department has squeezed the budget or just said The Hell With THEM

This was a proud moment for my little cousin. Im so very proud of him for all the accomplishment in his life thus far. He is a true example of that disability is an art, an ingenious way to live. TJ Keep living, leaning and thriving. My prayers are with you and all you encounter.

I hope my fellow Louisville West Enders, especially the brothers and sisters of our beautiful and beloved Chickasaw & Shawnee neighborhoods, where we as children use to run up and down the neighborhood streets, roller skating and flying kites in the spring, riding our bikes all over the neighborhood and to the corner candy and hardware store, that was located across the street to Zegarts Pharmacy, which was located across the street from Clemons Beer Depot and Convenience Store, which was located across the street from Cooks Food Fair and Meat Market. That was years ago, before America lost the last of her innocence. Though those businesses have long closed, the West End is still as beautiful as ever, with her big swing porch houses and well manicured yards. I have been all over the U.S., and there arent many African American neighborhoods like the Louisvilles West End. I hope everyone whos fortunate enough to live in this area of Louisville realizes what a jewel of a park Chickasaw is. I grew up a couple of blocks away from this park, and I have yet to find anything close to it anywhere else. It was designed by a man by the name of Olmsted. The very same man who designed and built Central Park in New York City. Mr. Olmsted also designed and built Shawnee Park, which is located one mile up the road from Chickasaw, and is 10 times bigger than Chickasaw! Another awesome park to hang out in! We are so lucky!

I first walked the river bank along the western edge of this park as a child~ not much has changed as it is still one of few places that I can go to escape reality and find a bit of solace!

I really admire the people who keep tennis courts going with weekly clubs (Tuesdays special) and got past city budget cuts with their interest and work. There are only two clay courts in city, Im told. Dont know where the other is or if it is still open with budget cuts. We dont play. But contributed what we could to help. Not much but It was appreciated. The waterfowl on the pond attract us and others to park, feed and watch. Walking paths for folks including dogs on leashes. Park has some history. Used to be called the little park. (compared to Shawnee). Check out the plaques by North entrance. Wave as you drive through (slowly). It will be returned by regulars. Feel good.

I grew up in the area of Shawnee Park and Chickasaw Park. I take my grandkids to them both frequently. They /we have a ball. The upgrade in the childrens area is awesome. Were able to relax and have a great time. These parks have been given a bad rep because of ignorance. Which you can and will find anywhere. Dont allow their ignorance to stop you from enjoying yourself with your family. We all know crime does not discreminate. Its everywhere. Its how we respond to it that matters.

This is the best park in Louisville! The tennis courts are absolutely outstanding, with six clay courts and six hard courts (all for free playing, with lessons throughout the year), the pond is lovely, and it is an overall beautiful place. The park is great for everything!
