Took my kids to this park to go skateboarding and it's never too crowded which makes it nice for beginners or novices like them. So they don't feel real intimidated and have a good time. The ramps and things aren't too steep either so it makes nice for them to learn the skills of skateboarding. Overall pretty nice park that the kids have a lot of fun at. It is surrounded by other fun activities like walking trails, a baseball field and some full court basketball courts. Cool little community area that's safe as it literally is connected to the police station.

One thing that is a very big downside about this park is how awful the quarter pipe is and a lot of parents let their children play on the ramps like it's a playground.

They are rusty and dangerous because the lips to the ramps are lifted off the ground. Also, the asphalt is not smooth, and there are large cracks running all the way through the park.

There is a lot to do at Thornton Park. They have an aquatic center (seasonal), skate park, tennis…read morecourts, basketball courts, and a playground. They also have a community center and shelter accessible from Q Street with plenty of parking. Parking also is available off Brian Lane Way on the west side of the park. The only negative I had was that I found all the fencing around the different sections of the park (tennis, aquatic area, and skate park) made it difficult to reach the other side of the park without driving out and around the neighborhood to the other side. One bonus though was the pair of limestone guardian heads along the path up to the playground. Very cool! Review #1982

There is plenty of parking. And I believe that camping is an option. You have to pay to get in, which is fine. But I am highly annoyed that out of state cars have to pay more. Once when I went though, it was in the off season and there was no one working at the entrance gate. We were hoping to pay with a card, and it appeared to be an honor system for paying the $9 on days when the park is open, but no one is working. I was enticed by the promise of Rose Island ruins (a former amusement park/resort. Not actually an island). But as interesting as it sounds, it was disappointing. It has been all cleaned up and sign-ified and it is more meh than I had hoped. I would probably come back more often if it was more like $5 to get in. But with Louisville's copious parks, state and otherwise, and Bernheim about the same distance drive, I'm inclined to stay on my side of the river.

Tons of open space to walk and clear your head, and the trails are easy to enjoy whether you want a quick stroll or a longer walk.

Perfect place to get outside, get some steps in, and just enjoy the day. Definitely coming back again.

The park is dedicated and named after former Louisville Mayor David L. Armstrong, who was instrumental in its construction. They have ramps, tunnels, boxes, lines, ledges, rails, stairs and of course half pipes and bowls. This park is not only a skate park and bike park, but has been adopted by graffiti artist. There is some real nice art work here. The place is covered in it. The half pipe is about 24 feet high, in addition to 2 11-foot bowls, 2 8-foot bowls, 2 4-foot bowls and a six foot bowl. There is a lot of free street parking available to park and visit the park. I really liked this park. Everyone there was nice and working on their craft. This is one of the better options for skateboarders, skaters and bikers to do what they do, but in a controlled environment. There is an emergency phone on site and you are almost certain to not be alone there. The city did a greta job putting this project together.

Sam Peden Community Park is a good-sized park that needs more trees…read more There's lots to love about Community Park. The walking path is long and well-kept. If you need an easy path, there's the loop around the large duck and goose pond. If you want something a little more challenging, the path leading back to the 4H Fair Grounds has a decent elevation and optional stairs. There are multiple playgrounds for kids and a few areas for sports and games. Nearby are also shelters that can be reserved for events. Parking is plentiful and in multiple spots. There is also a growing effort to install more public art, a reading path, and some free-range meadow grasses. I'm hopeful that the trees grow back after the building of the Academy apartments and that more are planted around the path to provide more shade during the hot summer months. But a great, local park!

The park boasts loads of amenities in a well-kept landscape. For bird lovers: there's a gorgeous pond which is visited by a lot of ducks, geese, and local bird friends. There's a great 1.2 mile walking track that circles the park, offering views of the pond and a walk and read (single book pages at stops along the trail) for folks with kiddos. They have two playgrounds, four sheltered areas, restrooms (although I've only seen them open twice - pro tip: go to Aldi across the street from the park if they're closed - fast, easy, and clean!), a few short nature trails, green space, a sand volleyball court, soccer fields, a basketball court, and a heck of a lot of tennis courts. I'm new to roller skating and the tennis courts here are a dream come true! Yes, this may not be their intended purpose, and yes, one tennis player one time may have gotten a bit peeved BUT there are so many courts, you don't have to feel guilty about taking away anyone's ability to play tennis. During the week, I've never found the park too crowded. In the early mornings, virtually empty minus some walkers and tennis players. In the evening, loads more folks but still has never felt too crowded, plus LOTS of dog walkers which always makes me excited to see so many sweet puppy faces strolling around. Basketball games are generally happening. On the weekends, this place does get busy. Shelters are available for rent, so there's often parties taking place, we've seen tennis tournaments, soccer games, and more but with how large the park is, we've never felt overcrowded or like we've lost our personal space and have always been able to find easy parking. I would highly recommend this park any time of day and any day of the week.
