I figured it's your average park with grass and a playground but wow it was a beautiful park with acres of water, picnic areas, and a playground. The ducks and geese's roamed wild and free on the larger waterfront and on the other pond I saw people with fishing poles fishing away. Not sure if they caught anything but they looked like they where enjoying their time. It was nice and relaxing. A good place to walk, great place to chill.

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.
