Dean Watts Park

Our group of friends made the drive from Louisville to stop at this park with a specific plan to visit the wind phone installation located on the Wilson Trail behind the ball fields. We are currently researching plans for our own wind phone and had wanted to see an example of one already in use. The paved trail winds around behind the ball fields and then becomes a mulched path into the woods. The path is fairly steep and passes by a clearing with a circle of log seating and then continues down a hill until it reveals a creek. Turning to the left, the trail continues and we soon find the box for the prior wind phone installation; however, it seems that vandalism took place because the rotary dial phone is missing. Nice trails and difficulty rating is mild to moderate walk,The hope is to return sometime again soon and that the wind phone installation will be restored for use. Very large paved parking lot. Porta-potty restroom facilities. Multiple well-maintained ball fields.

My daughters and I went to this park today while we were in Bardstown and we had a good time to have a plenty of good baseball fields and playgrounds and walking trails and paths and we all had a really good time we had a picnic in the back of the truck and one of the parking lot and it was nice environment good scenery definitely check it out

This is a solid municipal park area. Mostly aimed at providing sports facilities with multiple baseball, soccer and youth football fields, it also has two playground areas along with a 2 mile paved walking path. This is not the park to visit if you want to commune with nature out in the hills, this is a park to bring your kid to ride their bike on the safe paved path or play on the playground or to have a little picnic in the fresh air. There are many trash cans which, as a dog owner who has to clean up after said dogs, I appreciate a lot. Well kept with fences in good repair, lawns mowed and minimal/no trash on the ground (only that which like blew in on the wind overnight). A fair number of trees are spray painted with an X which usually indicates that they are dead and need to be removed but there should be enough left on the walking path to provide shade while taking out those trees most likely to land on one's head in a wind. No idea what the restroom facilities are like and whether or not they are open year-round; that is an important factor after all in visiting a park with kids or far from ones' home.
