First planned as a "scenic reservation" by Frederick Law Olmstead, Iroquois Park in Louisville is known for its panoramic views, its large open-air amphitheater, and its golf course. There is automobile access to overlook views via Uppill Road during certain times of the year, but foot and bicycle access to the top of Iroquois Park is accessible year-round, making this particular park attractive to hikers, runners, and snow-going adventurers even in colder calendar months. The park is spawning at 739-acres and offers various amenities that provide diversified outdoor recreation.
