Such an awesome park and so well laid out with something for everyone in mind....and it's massive!…read more This place has a huge playground suited for toddlers and big kids as well as an adjoining splash park perfect for those hot summer days. There are also tennis courts, basketball courts, pickleball, and other sports fields. Bravo to all those that contributed in the vision and buildout for this place as it was long overdue for the community but such a great use of tax revenues.

The facility has several soccer fields, baseball fields, a nice upgrades playground and even and outdoor fitness center for the community. I've taken the kids here a few times to play on the playground and recently went here to watch my daughters friend soccer game. Really nice facility to host sporting events with ample enough parking and wide open spaces. Overall a very nice addition to the mount Washington community and a very fine place to either play and relax or take in or participate in a sporting event.

There are plenty of spots for fishing but some of them you will need to take a short hike down a gravel road. If you bring a wagon make sure it has bigger wheels but probably best to carry everything to make it easier. There is a fishing dock as well that's pretty big and most definitely is shareable with a few groups. The hiking trail that extends around to the dam is a fun walk since it goes in and out of wooded covering. Makes it great for sunny days as well. The playground is nice and maybe small to moderate size. There are BBQ stands to use and picnic tables. There are bathrooms but not very quick to get to from most parts of the park so keep that in mind. Great place to kayak as well! Great views and since the lake is narrow it makes it feel more like a river to go through. Super fun place! Glad to see them doing more work on it Only criticism is that there is lots of trash and even though it's the patrons fault, the park could do a better job at cleaning it up. Watch your little ones so they don't pick up pokey fish hooks or broken bottles.

Tiny park located off cedar creek road. You pull into a the parking lot and the road way is gated…read moreoff. So you park to the immediate left. The park itself features a small playground, a full court basketball court and lots of soccer fields. If you follow the concrete path near the parking lot towards the patio area and soccer fields you can follow that path around a short trail that eventually takes you through a gravel paved wooded area that runs along side the soccer fields. It leads back out to the road where it circles back to the blocked off road at the entrance. It's a giant circle. But it's a peaceful and easy trail. Overall solid little park and it's pretty close to my home. So I'll come up here and let the girls play on the playground. It's very rarely crowded. Most of the crowd heads to the larger McNeely Lake Park about 3 miles down the road as it has several massive playgrounds. So a lot of time when we don't want to deal with bit crowds I'll make the short trip here and let the girls run wild and blow off energy.

Very nice park tucked away behind the "town" portion of Shephersdville. I've known of the parks…read moreexistence for a few years but I honestly thought it was a small neighborhood park. I recently stopped in there wasting time waiting for my second oldest daughter to get out of her cheer leading practice nearby. This place is massive. I had no idea. Very large and spacious with open fields, cool walking trail that follows the river, a few pretty extensive playgrounds, some memorials, a few ball fields and even a very old cemetery. It was very cold the day I stopped by. So My family and I was the only ones there. You can drive thru the park as it has two entrances. A main one that takes you off blue lick road or a back entrance that starts at Plum st. I do not live in Shepherdsville so I can't say for sure but if I had to guess they do a lot of community events here. There was a gazebo setups with bleacher seating. My oldest daughters best friend lives right in front of a portion of the park so she has been several times. She told me that during the Christmas holidays they have a really cool Christmas light setup that can be drive through or walked through. So that's something I'll have to check out next holiday season for sure. Also according to my daughters friend they are adding a water/spray park to the food in the summer of 21. So that will be neat as well.

There was a good amount of people but it didn't feel crowded. There first stop was a little gift shop with and information desk, snack bar, and bathrooms. From there the trail to the forest giants was super easy to follow. After walking to the giants, I drove the path to see the Tin Man and canopy walks. I love how accessible all the big attractions were and how beautiful the forests are. It's worth stopping in if you're visiting the area or a local!

For those in the unknown a arboretum is a place where trees, shrubs, no herbaceous plants are cultivated for specific and educational purposes. Which is exactly what this place is. It also has a few nice benches and a cool monument/statue called "Our Deer Brave". I usually stop in here when visiting the mount Washington city park that is tucked behind the baseball fields and behind the school. The awesome park has a walking trail that loops into the baseball fields. From there I caught a glimpse of this cool little area that was created and dedicated by the students of the elementary school. So usually on nice days I'll make the stroll and come in and relax here for a bit. Overall cool and unique area to check out. I love little local hidden gems and this very much fits that description.
