    What a hidden gem! This is (by far) my favorite park in Louisville. It's not well known and therefore, never crowded. They massive Wildflower fields encourage pollinators and you will always find unique species. In addition, a greater amount of wildlife compared to Senecca or Cherokee. The space feels undisturbed by modern life - as most of the views keep modern life out (outside of a few spots where you may view nearby apartments). Not to mention, the blooming Wisteria in the Spring and Trumpet Vine in the Summer are a showy must! Also, I'm all about hidden trails and pockets and this space has hidden spot to stargaze in the eve or picnic during the dog (off the beaten path). Brava!!!

    This is a cool little park but there's not much to it. The best thing about this park is that it's a hop, skip, and jump away from the malls. In a matter of minutes, you can go from hectic shopping to a peaceful park. This park seems to be frequented by the apartments/condos local to the area. I've been here a couple of times now and the park definitely changes with the seasons. Along the main path, there are a few small bridges to walk over. You can see fish swimming around from on the bridge. I'm giving this park three stars because as stated before, there's just not much to do here. I'd recommend using this park for exercising or for a picnic. Other than that, I don't see much reason to stick around for hours here. One other peeve is that each time I've been here, I always see trash. This last time, trash was floating in the creek. One of the times, there were numerous beer cans and miscellaneous trash near the parking lot. I guess since it's not a busy park that people think they can give the world their trash. If you've been shopping in St. Matthews and need a break before heading home, I'd suggest visiting this park and the nearby Brown Park to unwind. You'll spend more time in Brown Park but Arthur K is worth a quick walkaround.

    This is a great park that I visited from recommendation from my buddy. So when I was in the area last week I hit up this park and I saw immediately the cool looking horse statue that they have right at the beginning of it. This place is filled with many cool walking trail sites photo ops just all kinds of neat things to see and check out. I love visiting different parks in nature trails and things like that so this is for sure one of the cool places to see walk around look at the water look at all the neat sculptures different things I have so this is a excellent place to visit

    This park is practically a diamond in the rough! I've lived so close to this area and just now discovered its beauty. At first I didn't think this park would be that big, just since it is right in the middle of so many apartment complexes. However, it surprised me with how much there was to see here and how great of a walk I got in! There are multiple walking paths, some that will take you to open fields, some to creeks, and even one that leads you to the sidewalk by the road. There's also this really nice archway at the entrance that is covered with leaves, and is really beautiful. Great park to do some explorin'.

    It was the most perfect fall day and I *needed* some outside time. I had driven past the Arthur K Draut Park several times, and even more often recently when on my way to or home from pilates. On this day, my class wasn't until 6:30, so I had some time to kill. And I decided to spend it at this park. It is a sweet, small park. Like the other reviewer called it, a kind of green oasis next to some apartment complexes, car dealerships and the malls. It is not huge. It has a small parking lot, and a paved loop with bridges to cross over Beargrass Creek, that is around 3/4 of a mile. The loop is accessible. The back part of the park backs up to the apartment complexes nearby. The trail is mostly flat and would be great for a training run (it would be better it was a full mile...). I saw many people running and walking and trotting along with their pets. It was quiet and peaceful. Even though it is right on the road at Bowling Boulevard, once you get into the park, the trees drown out the sounds of the road. It is a great place for a little meander, particularly if you are already in the area. There are no facilities (toilets) or playgrounds, just some benches along the path for a sit down or two. Because of that, I think it isn't as busy. I will probably be back, at least in the next few months as I continue a fitness membership nearby, to get some steps in and just be outside for a bit before moving on to my indoor classes. If you live or work in the area, you shouldn't pass up this park.

    I so enjoyed time spent in this small, intimate park today. It is just the right size for a short walk to spend time in nature and relax. It has paved paths throughout, that are perfect for walking or jogging, but also plenty of areas to veer off into grassy areas that are perfect spots for picnics. There are benches galore to stop and rest and enjoy the scenery. Despite being right off Bowling Boulevard, surprisingly there was no road noise. The park is situated around a large creek, and the paths wind around in several loops with bridges over the creek. Right past the entrance to the park is a large pergola that is covered in wisteria vines. I can't wait to come back in the spring when the wisteria is in bloom! There is small, paved parking lot at the entrance to the park, which is marked with a sign, a large horse and a beautiful standing clock. I highly recommend this park for a very peaceful walk and time for relaxation.

    My boys love this park!

    This is one of the nicest public parks that I have been to! There are about ten parking places at the entrance off of Bowling, and they are almost always open when I drive by daily. One of the horse status and a large, pretty clock mark the entrance. It is free to enter the park, and it is very well maintained. At this entrance there is a large terrace with overhanging vines and cute benches for a romantic moment. There are benches every ten to twenty feet for taking a rest or taking it in. The bridge across the creek about fifty yards in is my favorite photo op location (as my dogs demonstrate). The only thing is, I would not walk this park at night nor alone because there are a lot of potential hiding spots in dark corners and around curves (and we all have to be mindful of these things). My dogs and I had a great time during the day, though, and I recommend checking it out!

    While out and about today I found myself wanting to go for a walk. Being a ways from my usual…read morewalking spots, I searched Yelp to find a nearby park. Robsion Park was close by ,so hubby and I found our way there. The park is directly behind the Lyndon post office and parking can be accessed using the driveway beside the post office. Posted hours for the park stated "Dawn to dusk." I was surprised by how well-maintained the park is and how much larger it was than it appeared at first glance. There is ample paved, private parking. At the entrance to the park are two large play areas for children. One appears to be for the younger set and the other for older children. There is a half-mile paved, level walking trail around the perimeter of the park with a short paved bisecting walk if one doesn't wish to go all the way around. All of the walking path has trees lined on either side for shade. There are multiple large, grassed areas for volleyball, badminton, hacky sack, soccer or anything else one could desire. There are covered picnic areas and restrooms. The restrooms were open for use, but I didn't go in them. There were panic/help buttons throughout the park for use in emergency situations. This park is perfect for dog walking and also is a perfect park for those who may require level, paved paths. I look forward to returning with my dogs!

There is a very nice walking trail that splits into different directions and can keep you busy for quite a while. I was please to see how neat and clean Robsion was, and it definitely looked like it got its proper maintenance every now and then. There's also a couple nice playgrounds for kids, along with an awesome-looking splash pad to cool off in!

    I feel so lucky that I visited Yew Dell Botanical Gardens on the last Friday of September. I…read morearrived around 4 p.m. without knowing that every last Friday of the month from 4-7 p.m. is their Happy Hour with free admission. It usually is $12 per adult. My wife and I could walk the trails and enjoy the beautifully landscaped flowers and trees at no cost. The atmosphere was fantastic, peaceful, refreshing, and uplifting. There was also live music outdoors, where people could enjoy food, wine, and beer in a lovely setting. This place is truly charming and relaxing. Now I know I've found a hidden jam. I'll look forward to visiting here on the Last friday of each month (April through October).

Every visit feels fresh and different--sometimes we come to stroll the gardens slowly and soak in the seasonal blooms, other times just to let the kids run and enjoy the open spaces. The grounds are gorgeous and so thoughtfully designed, with little nooks and trails that invite you to pause, notice, and breathe. There's a sense of calm and restoration here that's hard to find anywhere else. My entire family loves coming, and it's become one of our go-to places whenever we want to recharge or spend time together outdoors. Whether you're a gardener, a parent, or someone who just loves natural beauty, I can't recommend Yew Dell Gardens enough. It's a gem for the whole community.
