City of Parks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
City of Parks is a municipal project to create a continuous paved pedestrian and biking trail around the city of Louisville, Kentucky while also adding a large amount of park land. The project was announced on February 22, 2005. Current plans call for making basically the entire 1600-acre Floyds Fork flood plain in eastern Jefferson County into park space, expanding acreage in the Jefferson Memorial Forest, and adding riverfront land and wharfs along the Riverwalk Trail and Levee Trail. There are also plans to connect the 100-mile Louisville trail to a planned seven mile trail connecting the Southern Indiana cities of New Albany, Clarksville and Jeffersonville.
