It's wonderful to see Louisville celebrating its location and history with the continued development of the waterfront park. When I was there, it was clean and being well used.

We spent a lot of time in the area even doing a Segway tour through the park and watching fireworks on July 4. Our kids loved hanging out by the water and all the activities

A little disappointed, as we sailed on the Jefferson boat instead of the Belle of Louisville,think they need to inform you that the Jefferson is not a paddle steamer

This park isn't a bad park, per say. I do enjoy walking the waterfront but I don't go out of my way to visit the park. If you are downtown or staying downtown, it's a good park. You can find play structures at some points for kids and there are fountains (the fountains are crowded in the summer). I love... More

We watched the best fireworks show from the park. It is a large park with many benches, open spaces, and restaurants nearby.

Beautiful, you can see Indiana and the bridges, and lots of porch swings! Would love to take my dogs.

The city of Louisville has done a very good job using their river as an attraction instead of a detraction as so many other cities do. Big plus with the extreme skate park close by & many more attractions.

This is one of the nicest parks I have ever been in. Made me consider moving to Louisville. Had a nice big pedestrian bridge over the river and many areas for kids and adults that were laid out nicely and very clean.

Our family of five (two adults, three kids) rented a double surrey bike at Wheel Fun (located in the park at Witherspoon and Brooks streets) and enjoyed a ride through part of the park. If you go close to the water the ride back up hill is work. I think the park would be beautiful in the summer. We ate... More
