Whether you're after a sense of community, a place to play, or a quiet walk, you'll find what you're looking for in Louisville's parks. With more than 355 acres of parkland, varying in size, use and recreational opportunities, Louisville is committed to providing a variety of experiences for park users. This commitment to parks is one of the primary contributors to Louisville's national recognition as one of the best places to live in America. The park system is connected by an extensive system of trails allowing citizens to walk or bike to City parks and other community amenities from their doorsteps. Louisville encourages you to get outside and enjoy the opportunities that are waiting in our great outdoors.
