Kentucky is a state that is renowned for natural beauty. It is a state that is filled to the brim with scenery that will simply take your breathe away. Destinations such as Big South Fork National River Park and Mammoth Cave attract hundreds of thousands of visitors every year. But there are lesser-known attractions that can be just as rewarding to visit as those big-ticket tourist destinations- especially when they are within easy reach of major urban areas such as Louisville.
Louisville is a delight – but exploring its parks and green spaces can add that little extra to any exploration of the city. One of the premier green spaces is EP Tom Sawyer State Park. This park is a 554-acre refuge from the stresses of big city life on the outskirts of Louisville.
The 554-acre park offers some great family-friendly attractions that will have young and old delighted with the decision to step away from the stress that can characterize modern life. For instance, there is the only free-to-use archery range in Louisville or, to escape the heat the largest outdoor swimming pool open to the public and splash park in Louisville is available – this is an attraction that continues to make a day out with the entire family a delight.
For those in search of a more active day out, the Goose Creek Nature Trail is perfect. This 1.6-mile trail is great for runners and hikers and takes visitors through some of the most attractive forest scenery in the state.
For BMX riders the attraction of one of only 6 Supercross BMX tracks in the nation is undeniable – even if you don’t ride the spectacle of the races which are held regularly is one that will excite the entire family.
But there are other park attractions that will be of special interest to those who want to explore a healthy lifestyle. The park has ample facilities for cardiovascular exertion including tennis and swimming. Another attraction for those lovers of our four-legged friends is the dog park.
For those who want to host an event for up to 200 people in one of the most stunning parks in Louisville, the 5,720 square foot Sawyer Hayes Community Center is the ideal venue. Poolside birthday parties are also a great option for those with younger children.
When you want to simply relax and enjoy one of Louisville’s most attractive green spaces the EP Tom Sawyer State Park will deliver. Sit back, relax or get active – or simply enjoy the company of friends and family, this is a park that should be on the bucket list.
