EP Tom Sawyer State Park Review By: Jeanette

We ventured over to E.P. Tom Sawyer Park recently. They have a great sand area under a big shady tree with a bench for parents to keep a close eye on the kids. It is right next to the playground which has definitely seen better days. There was only one baby swing that was duct taped together. There were four […]

Either a short walk or drive from Joe Creason Park and the zoo is the Louisville Nature Center which is also a neighbor to Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve.  We just explored the nature center which was a quaint little place that has lots of information.

It is home to Louisville Tennis Center which was pretty busy this morning. The park has a 1.5mile paved walking/running loop. A portion shares it with cars in the park, but just for a very […]

Review of Charlie Vettiner Park: By Jeanette

Charlie Vettiner Park is a nice park, but my toddler is too young to enjoy its amenities. It has a very cool playground, but geared towards older kids. The swings are a small distance away and have both baby and bigger swings. The bathrooms are near the playground. Other things unique to the park include an exercise path, disc golf, […]

Review of Highview Park: By Jeanette

Highview Park is a quaint little park off of the Outer Loop. It has 2 playgrounds – one for bigger kids and one for younger. I feel comfortable with my 2 year old on both. They aren’t very big playgrounds and both are right next to each other. There are also big and baby swings there. They have tennis courts, […]

The days have been so lovely, why not go for a scenic walk?!  Hidden in Anchorage, there is a paved trail that is very shaded and beautiful called Anchorage Trail. There are bridges, fences, lots of green, big benches and even a rock amphitheater. If you so choose, you can bring your dog….or horse! There are separate, more wooded cross […]
