My son and I decided to go for a walk. We started around 40th and walked to the park. We found a bench off to the side, below a big beautiful tree. We sat, talked, enjoyed the breeze, and each others company. Park is clean.

I grew up coming to this park. There is plenty of space for all kinds of activities. Basketball, football and trail walking are some that I highly recommend. This is one of the best parks in Louisville Ky.

Grass needs cut in some places that over a foot tall. Overall the park appeared fairly clean and did not have too many people.

There is a sense of tranquillity peacefulness about it. I seen people sitting in the park reading the Bible kids being kids by playing together. The landscape is beautiful the trees the cut grass the wind blows.this is something we all need just to lay back on the grass close your eyes and think about something. What a beautiful thing God has created for all of us to enjoy.

Drove thru to get COVID19 tested. From what I saw of the grounds in the short amount of time it took to drive thru for testing; I will return to spend more time there. The park I saw was well manicured and clean.

I practically grew up there, used to play 6 man football in the explorer league, played one season with the Hornets in the old Lenny Lyles league and two Juice Bowl (74&75 ) did a lot of socializing and just plain ol hanging out meeting people and making friends. It truly was the place to be in the early 70s. Still go there with my wife to have lunch . Sadly I have noticed that not very many people take advantage of the natural beauty of this great place anymore .

I went for a run here a couple of mornings ago and I was really pleasantly surprised with how clean this park is. Compared to some that Ive been to around the city this one is very nice. The loop around the park has a nice wide lane for runners and bikers and the basketball courts are very nice if thats more your speed. They have a playground for the kids and bathroom facilities on site.

I look around and I thank God, for My community, my Brothers and Sisters and all my love ones. The Dirt Bowl, the Gospel concerts. Movie Night..I could go On and On ...

Very nice park, but could make better use of its space and some sections are badly in need of renovation. This is also not the safest place during weekdays.

Nice day to be in the park. Hot but breezy. Would great if it a pool. There is Splashground for the kids to get wet and play. Parking was rough later in the day because the Dirt Bowl tournament was going on lots of cars, but fun to watch.

Fights breakout at this park with kids playing around! This park has a lot of gang activity and drug dealing goes on a lot at this park! Two females who was fighting came over to the pavilion was and started fighting while my family reunion was going on! The police is always riding around and walking around in this park looking for people selling drugs all over the park! This ghetto park is located in the heart of the hood! They call this the Hood Park and there is also stealing that goes on at this park! It was a shooting during the annual Juice bowl football games and two people was killed here! The dirt bowl basketball tournament they have is ghetto basketball players from the hood! This park is not safe for anybody to go to because there is no telling what can or might happen to you at anytime at this park!

Nice new Playground and spray area. Usually not heavily populated. However the adults here sometimes make it difficult to stay for long, things to look for (smoking on the playground, continuous profanities, water balloon fights involving random visitors and kids).
