So treat it like you would someone's house who has cool holiday lights. Stop and appreciate it but respect the private property of the owners and neighbors. The personal property has a side yard that features a massive and fun looking McDonald's themed playground. Featuring all the lovable McDonald's characters of 80's and 90's lore Thai playground gives me throwback feels for sure. Spread across some beautiful Landscaping I am curious the backstory to this playground. Former owner or high ranking employee perhaps, crafty person who just a fan? Either way it is super cool and one of them row unique roadside sights in the city. I'm curious how often the playground is used. I'm pretty sure it isn't even rented out for public parties but if it were I'd have to inquire on pricing and availability. My kids for years have marveled at This sight and have wished out Loud how fun it could be. Overall a cool and fun sight to see for someone driving around the city who likes to see unique things.

Cool to see and visit I wish they would open it to the public

Hoping this will still be rescheduled for this year or at the very least that it will return in 2027. We thoroughly enjoyed this experience and being exposed to a special cultural event. Tribes from across the nation were on site. We had several opportunities to interact with various members of the tribes in attendance and questions were welcomed and answered. I believe members as far away as North Dakota had traveled here to participate. The beading and decorative embroidery on the clothing was explained. These are NOT costumes, which is terminology that is considered an insult. It was explained regarding the difference in that these are their clothes and not some sort of dress up play acting session. The drumming and dancing was also explained. We were also able to try fry bread and several other food items, which was an epic experience to have at least a hinting glimpse into another culture. Looking forward to attending future powwows.

Tennis courts nearby appeared to be in good condition, so might return to play soon.

My first visit was right before the Pandemic stuck in 2020. I had visited Union 15 first. Being a pizza lover I had to give it a shot. It is good pizza but, the garlic knots are probably the best thing there. I like that they have many local beers on tap. I remember talking the person behind the bar and how he looked forward to this place growing w/ Iroquois park across the street and the events that take place there during the summer. I went back again for the shuttle pick up for Tailspin last year and this year. Then Covid happened and I hadn't made my way back until Tailspin this year for the shuttle pick up. I definitely recommend Union 15 if you're a pizza lover and beer lover, especially local beer. There is also a Taco Luchador, I hadn't been to this location but have been to their Baxter Ave location. Biscuit Belly and B.A. Colonial I haven't been to either places but, plan on making it to those places someday. Overall I'm really impressed with how Colonial Gardens has turned out. I hope they continue to grow and do great things. These businesses have survived a pandemic in which most places are still trying to bounce back or have closed. Definitely a great place to support local businesses if you're in the area or at an event at Iroquois park. Two thumbs up on Colonial Gardens.

Really cool concept to help build the south end for the future. Colonial Gardens was considered a…read morehistoric area already but has been basically deserted for several years. So they have rebuilt it into a venue that will be the home for a handful of new and exciting food establishments and pubs. They currently have a pizza joint called "union 15" and the rapidly growing Taco Luchador. Per the website they are expecting to add a breakfast restaurant called "biscuit belly". Which currently has one location in Nulu that is very popular and tasty. They have done an incredible job of adding unique artwork and designs while paying homage to the south end area. One of my favorite things (or will be) about this project is all the restaurants and pubs will share an open beer garden. Which is a really cool concept. Major kudos and props to the brains and designers of this project. I think it will have a huge positive impact on the south end of Louisville.

A path leads you between a couple houses in to the park proper. It isn't huge, but it is perfect for the neighborhood it is in. There are several sculptures/totems around the park, a small gazebo, a playground, benches and a little bridge. Tucked away, surrounded by the backyards of homes in the area, it is cozy and a great little park. I don't foresee myself going out of my way to visit again or often, as it is more suited to children/those with children. But it is cute!

Iroquois park is the spot to be at, they have a decent amount of parking, definitely could use some more. We walked from the main entrance parking lot to the North overlook at back distance was able 4.30 miles we did do some extra walking around another area on our way back down. But a beautiful trail with decent amount of trees for some shade. There is some parking available closer to the trail however is was definitely full lot by the time I arrived. There is a golf course as well. Definitely a well cherished park as we saw a lot of hikers, bikers, running, the courts were full and the playgrounds were busy and just people enjoying the views and wonderful weather.
