Nice quiet park and has a secluded feel. Our kids loved it but we enjoyed going for runs/walks as well.

This park is a runner's dream. I can get a good hill work out one day and the next day I can get a nice flat course to run intervals. What I love most about this park is that I can run on the actual ground, rather than a hard surface. It's absolutely beautiful in the fall when the leaves... More

I live a block from the park and go through it almost everyday. It's a great place to exercise, walk trails or just sit and relax. It's also a great way to drive home from work and enjoy the open spaces, trees, creeks and quiet There are some nice views from the hills and a 3 mile loop for walkers/runners/bikers.... More

Even though I do not live an hour away from Louisville, Cherokee Park is so extraordinarily beautiful that I make an effort to go there whenever I can. Even if it's only for a fifteen minute drive around or stroll, in between appointments, it offers peace, beauty, and tranquility. I envy the many who live nearby that can go and... More

Plenty of park to share for everyone. Located inside the Highlands neighborhood and a short walk from Bardstown Rd., the park is safe even at night. Run or cycle of the park's 2.3 mile loop (which is one way and closed to traffic on one side), which also connects to the adjacent Seneca Park via Beargrass Rd. or Park Boundary... More

Were visiting Louisville with some friends and stopped in to this park and had a great time. I wish I had more time to explore. The bulk of our time was up at the dog park. Very nice fenced in area to let your dogs run free. THey had a blast. Now, technically you need to be a member to... More

If you want to relax, walking in the park then this is good place to go. It is calm and relax, lots of green and trees just a bit out from downtown. If you like to have long walk or bring your kids with you, it's good family day.

I go to Cherokee Park regularly and love to walk around the loop which could take about one hour. I have many great memories in this park, I walked there with my dog every day, and now I bring my child to the playground. This park is a big part of my life, probably my favorite place in Louisville.
