Beautiful foliage and weather. Another of our great parks with good hiking trails. Never too crowded either.

Its okay, other than the wait at the pumpkin show, 3 hours at the medium. The show is about maybe 15 minutes long, and It closes at 12:00PM (Nighttime). The least amount if hours you would wait is about maybe 1 hr. 30 mins. And.... The pumpkins were fantastic! It was 7 dollars a person, but totally worth it at the end.

I actually found this spot by complete accident but Im really glad I did. Its at the bottom of a long side walk and once you get there the view is pretty awesome.You can see parts of the city and really its best if you come here on a cloudless day

In what has turned into such an ugly city to live in, the overlook at this park gives you a completely different idea of it. It has such a beautiful, picturesque view of the city.

This was our first time here. We drove 7hrs to bring our grandson to this attraction. I would of loved to been able to walk instead of having to drive thru. Covid was to blame. The line of cars were massive and our wait time was 1 1/2 hrs but all so worth the time. I will come back another year when Covid is gone.

It was a very nice walk to workout and enjoy nature. It was a great change of scenery for the whole family. Also not many people walking around so you can keep your social distancing going on.

It s easy to get to. And to get thru...so one can just pop off and enjoy a quick lil break in the security of the forest

Pretty views. Moderate walk up to the overlook currently because the roads are closed but worth the walk!

It is a beautiful place to be and a even better place to bring loved ones. It would be even better if they hired me. Ive been trying to work here for years and change things for the better. The trials need to be cleaned and cleared of spiders and ticks. I almost got bit over a thousand times so never go in the woods at night without a light and proper foot gear. The Fence was a waste of time to put up and the look out use to be taller. Money wasted and I could have made it a lot better. 1 million dollars gone to waste. Its not 1 bathroom up top so please go before you make that long trip. Roads are bad be careful driving walking or skating. I love the park and want to make it better for all that comes. I am native American myself and why not be a part of a great place you know.

The overlook is sooo pretty. Although I didnt have my professional camera, I still came out with decent photos. There are parking spaces near the overlook so you dont have to walk very far, unless you would like to walk all the way up. The view was great as we could all see the skyline and the tall buildings. Its definitely worth the walk to get there. I recommend going at sunset.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors. At the bottom of Uphill Rd. there are about 8 parking spaces for those that want to walk to the Overlook. From there to the top is about 1.5 mi. of gradual incline. The view of the downtown and S. Indiana is nice on a clear day. 3 mile round trip walk is nice and if youre up for it, the walk around the park at the lower level is another good walk.

Beautiful overlook in a very convenient park. You can drive and have a short easy pavement hike or park further away and enjoy a longer nature trail. Either way it is a great quick getaway that is good for the entire family. Plenty of rest stops along the way and different areas for the kids to play. Very friendly culture.bpeople you will meet are very friendly and respectful. The park is well maintained and very clean. This is family time that you dont want to miss!

A great park to take the family. It has golf course, horseback trails, trails, the amphitheater, basketball courts. You can see downtown from the overlook. You can walk or run around the park. There is aleays something going on there, especially from spring through fall.

Went for a great walk around the park love it because it has little grades on the road so its not just a flat walk makes you exercise a little harder but not to hard if you had health problems

Very nice restoration (too long in coming) of this lookout. So sad to hear of it being defaced just after the re-opening though. Really hope south-enders (and visitors) can appreciate the improvements being made to this incredible gem of a city park.

Nice park but needs a lot of maintenance. Kind of run down. New north overlook was nice. But theres not a lot of people up there ever, so if you go alone you dont always feel the safest.

So, so beautiful. You can drive your car almost all the way to the top before you have to walk a few hundred feet to the edge. I recommend this place if you want a spectacular view of the city.

Review №62

Love how large the park grounds are. It consist of acres of medium to heavy wooded grounds, which provide awesome beginner and intermediate trails and paths. Theres even horse back riding/training option available. Hopefully the city continues preserving the iconic park for many years to come. Such a beautiful place to come and relax or go on a stress relief walk right in the heart of the southwest region of Louisville.Five stars.

Awesome views of the Louisville skyline. Definitely a great place to check out if in Louisville. Nice and peaceful park with great views, hiking, and many other amenities to keep you busy. The past is huge, and is party of the great Olmsted park system in Louisville. Definitely plan on checking this out while visiting.

They have a little area to get wet in by water squirts. They even have a swing for the special love one that needs extra care. They do have bathrooms and hiking trails. They have a great walking/running area. They have a place where adults play frisbee. They have basketball goals. A gated net which I think is for volleyball? I love taking my kids here. People also take their dogs. Theres water fountains to think from as well.
