Very big park and used by lots of people. One lane is for runners, bikers and walkers and the other lane is for cars.

The Cherokee Park is THE park that Louisvillians go to. It is a great park in a great, funky neighborhood. Definitely worth a visit.

A great place to go with your dog, for a jog, or for a bike ride. Even have some fishing in the creeks and the big pond.
