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!

Let alone a huge river is truly amazing. The beautiful Ohio is along side this water park under the Big Four Bridge on the Louisville, Kentucky side. You can let the kids play in the water and on various jungle gym playgrounds. Parking is free but most individuals walk or bike here. Relax under a tree that will tell you a story and swing.

The long walkway goes along the river next to the playground. The playground itself is quite big, most of it on soft mat ground. There are multiple sections, each have different activities such as slides, ladders, ramps, sliding rails. The park of was mostly clean but some areas were showing signs of aging. But overall the park is really popular among locals. Lots of kids were in park when we visited the playground with our daugher.

It has nice scenery and birds to check out in trees. It's a clean and well kept park, and there's usually something going on with people playing ball or getting some exercise. It's not a huge park, but it has a good mix of activities and is a great place for the local community to gather. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the St. Matthews area.

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.

There are two children's play places, swings, basketball court, and tennis court. There are also a couple of picnic tables. Since it's close, I will be walking near or through it often. It also hugs interstate 64. There are many trees around the park but I'm going to make it a point to walk through it this fall when the leaves fall. I'm almost positive you can watch the traffic on the interstate and see a great shot of downtown if the leaves were gone. On a Friday evening, we had the park all to ourselves. I don't think I'd go out of my way to visit this park but if you're in the neighborhood, stop in and check it out.

"Quaint" is the best word to describe Clifton Park. It's definitely in a location that you'd have…read moreto actively seek out, and while they do have some surprisingly impressive amenities (water refill station, two playground sets, etc), they lack some common sense features as well (most notably bathrooms). It also has to be one of the least busy Louisville parks; even on summer weekends, it's not uncommon to have the park to yourself for a while. Clifton Park will likely leave a positive first impression on families, since the bigger of the two playgrounds is in great condition. It even includes a bright orange bridge that looks like a smilin' sunfish - if that isn't welcoming, I don't know what is! Unfortunately, the other facilities are noticeably worn by comparison, with the tennis court being the biggest offender. Perhaps because of the lack of foot traffic, it doesn't seem like the city gives this park much TLC - though on the bright side, it doesn't get hit with much litter either. There isn't much here for adults beyond some sunrise/sunset/skyline views, but it's a reasonable option if your kids are feeling restless. Keep them careful around the left fence, though; there are some shady-looking openings which lead to the hills overlooking the interstate, and perhaps some "Louisville weirdness" within the trees. (Unfortunately, the swing set is close to that fence.)

We were able to park close to the pavilion, and it has one of the best playgrounds for a small park -- so much for my daughter and the other kids to explore, with various pieces appropriate for different age levels. Some kids climbed and went down slides, while others played food stand in the area under the playset. The entire play area was enclosed in a way that made it easy to keep an eye on kids, while sitting on nearby benches. And then at the appropriate time, everyone went into the pavilion that's right next to the play area for cake. Everything is close, but there's still plenty of room for kids to run and play. The bathrooms at this park were also clean and well maintained. Brown Park is not too far from my daughter's day care. I hope we can stop here to play throughout the summer.
