George Rogers Clark Park

I took my oldest daughter here yesterday for some fun on a warm day that we had in February got to take avenge of those good days during the winter time. So we went in and it first I was like what is that and how much and then I drove to the back and it had a tremendous amount of things basketball courts big playgrounds multiple playgrounds that you can jump and run and play and on and we did we had a really fun time had a good walking path all around the area you can go look at the trees and really taking nature so we had a blast and when it warms up we will be going back

While the location is great and I have a soft spot for this part of Louisville, George Rogers Clark Park isn't what it used to be. The grounds and facilities could really use some TLC and the picnic areas have been especially filthy on my recent visits. This is one of three main parks on/near Poplar Level Road, with Joe Creason and Taylor Memorial being the other two, and the contrast between the three is interesting. Joe Creason has never been better, Taylor Memorial has been left for dead by the city, and George Rogers Clark falls in between those extremes. I do still think this is an okay park overall, and it's worth visiting at least once to see Clark's Cypress in the center of the park. It's a sight to behold.

After having lived in Louisville my entire life I got my first walk/hike into the Park today. The trail was not really well marked but we found our way by accident onto the trail. It was cool that it meanders around a graveyard, a fenced bald cypress tree and a creek. The weather was threatening so we took a short cut back to the car to avoid getting rained on. It appears the trail is about a 3 mile loop and it was well maintained. We did not see any other hikers out today, but again bad weather. I believe this trail hooks up to the trail at the Louisville Nature Center/Joe Creason Park. We are going to have to go back and explore and I'll update review at that point. But for now it is definitely on the list of return hiking locations.

Trees. Grass. Tennis. Basketball. Walking path. Creek. Hills. Benches. Cemetery. Playground. Shelter.Yep. It's a park, alright. And it's location is pretty good. It's in Germantown. It's surprisingly a good size, given that it's right next to a major road and surrounded by a neighborhood with incredibly cute houses.If running is your thing, this park isn't for you. But it's great for everything else. I use it for walking my doggy. He loves chasing squirrels and smelling unfamiliar smells and pooping in the grass. So this park does just fine.

This is a cute little park located right off of Poplar Level Rd. It's not huge, but offers enough space for various activities. Here you'll find tennis courts, a playground, walking trail, and picnic area. There was a basketball court but the rims were removed, as well as the swings... not sure if this was due to covid or it was like that before. There is also a good-sized parking lot with plenty of space. It's not a park I would go out of my way for, but I could imagine it being a nice place to go for the neighbors, or if you already happen to be in the area.

After having experienced Cherokee Park almost daily for over a year, as well as being closely acquainted with Seneca, Iroquois and Central Parks in the area...this park was a major let down. I mean....it's got the space. Lots and lots of space. But a few tennis courts, a playground, a cut-through-path and an historical cemetery do not a successful park make.The only path cuts across a mere corner of the park with the playground, tennis court and picnic areas. But the park is so much bigger than that. But post-winter-snow-melts (or post-rain...or during one's first visit to the park when one is unacquainted with it) a person might like to see more of the park without getting lost in the unmapped, most likely very muddy majority rest of the park.The views I was able to grab were lovely. And maybe in the summer time I'll be able to explore the "wilds" of the park more. But I was sorely disappointed and spent my time in and around the park wishing I had made the decision to head in the other direction towards Cherokee Park that day.

Such a wonderful place to stroll, walk a dog or spend valuable time with friends and family. Great gathering place with tons of picnic tables, shade, a playground, basketball courts and a water feature!

My company hosted a small staff retreat here - about 60 of us took over the park and even had some delicious food trucks on hand to serve up food.Overall, good! The location was perfect, the ground were kept up enough and there were facilities available (not the cleanest park bathrooms, but they do the trick.) Toss in a touch of history, some other nice park features and NO COST to reserve, and it worked well for our event. Is is Louisville's most amazing park? No. Could it work for whatever YOU might be planning? Likely!

I like to move it, move it. And this place is such a calm, uncrowded place to do it. I've never seen it deserted, but beyond an occasional grill out party or kids shooting some b-ball outside on the court, it is this awesome free for all. There is always a tennis court open, which is a huge, huge bonus to me, since that is nearly impossible to say in Louisville, esp free ones. If you have a dog there is plenty of open field to explore. Flat land, hills, woods - it is a great place to meander around. Definitely a place for the kids - there is almost always a family on the park benches or walking along the path. For me what it is missing is a longer walking path. I'd love to see it continue through part of the big open space - even along the edges - for those days that you want to just have the road laid out before you and get lost in your thoughts or good conversation.

I'll be honest: George Rogers Clark Park doesn't have a lot to offer at first glance. A couple of busted basketball courts, a tiny "splash park" fountain, and a little sidewalk loop around a soccer field and a lodge. That's it.But I'm in love. The park is never crowded like all of the larger Louisville parks seem to be. There are usually some fellow neighbors walking their dogs or playing on the playground with their kids, but I love going here for my runs because I feel like I get every bit of the 46 acres to myself. I also have been known to lounge for hours reading. I tend to call it "my park."GRC Park also offers a baseball field, a horseshoe pit, some picnic tables, tennis courts, and a volleyball net. It doesn't look like much, but it's the perfect place to have a picnic or small gathering when you want to get away from the overcrowded Olmsted parks. Be sure to take a walk down through the trees and over the creek - the charm of the woods makes up for the lack of updated amenities.
