Nice park that's really spread out. Even though there's a lot of woods, there are still a lot of open areas you can lounge around in or play some sports. There's a lot of walkers as well as joggers & bikers. They have a pavilion you can rent & reserve. Several playgrounds, basketball courts, etc. Mostly it's a one way drive through the park. The only negative is it's always crowded, but I guess you could say that it's safer having a lot of people around.
I love Cherokee park... it is truly Amazing. I mainly ride mountain bikes in the park, I honestly believe it is one of the most diverse and well maintained trail systems in the area. I have been riding these trails for 17 years and still have a blast every time I ride them. There are so many different areas that you can make a dozen totally different rides out of them and it is never boring. There are trails for all riding levels except there's not really any extreme downhill or dirt jumping. It is definitely a cross country trail system but there are plenty of super technical areas and even a few small downhill runs with some small rolling jumps. If you love a challenge and some beautiful trails, you definitely need to ride Cherokee park... you will love it.
Although I've lived in Louisville pretty much my whole life, I never ventured to this park. The scenery was excellent. Very well maintained as well. My kids enjoyed it very much so. Will be going back with my camera to take more pictures!
It's a huge park and very beautiful. Not a whole lot of intense trails, but short scenic ones. The witches hat is also awesome to hold events or get togethers. It's really nice and the community loves it. There are also plenty of seating throughout the park. Just know to get out, you have to make a right. Anywhere. There won't be signs to show you which way is out. If you don't know this, you'll keep following the road/always turning left and you'll just keep circling around.
By a long shot this is the best park in Louisville. There are so many different trails and paths to explore as well as park areas for kids, mountain bike trails and event spaces. You won't be disappointed
