Why dog parents love it

An off-leash dog park inside Cherokee Park, the Olmsted-designed park at the heart of the Highlands. Separate small-dog and all-dog sides, water on site, and miles of on-leash trails right outside the gate for a cool-down walk. Visiting Louisville? The LDRA can arrange temporary access here.
