The Parklands is comprised of four parks—Beckley Creek Park, Pope Lick Park, Turkey Run Park and Broad Run Park—stretching from Shelbyville Road to Bardstown Road. All four parks are now open to the public and are connected by 19 miles of the Louisville Loop, a scenic park drive and include more than 60 miles of trails for hiking, biking and paddling. The Parklands is free to enter, open 365 days a year, from dawn to dusk. The Parklands does not receive tax dollars for annual upkeep or operations. Ongoing maintenance and operations are funded solely through private donations and an endowment fund.

This month’s Track and Sign class was a wild success! Participants learned how to interpret marks left by animals with the help of our rangers and naturalist Marcus Reynerson. Several participants earned their CyberTracker wildlife tracker certification during the evaluation! Congratulations to the newly certified trackers and all participants who worked so hard during the two-day experience. The skills gained will make hikes even more rewarding! Visit our website to stay up to date on future hands-on learning events at The Parklands!

JAMIE TRETTER knew she would enjoy working at The Parklands as part of the Events team the moment she walked in the Gheens Foundation Lodge with her daughter, who was in search of a venue for her upcoming wedding. “I loved the venue and the whole wedding process. The minute my daughter and I walked in and saw the floor-to-ceiling windows looking out into nature, we felt such peace.” The wedding took place in early 2024, and Jamie joined The Parklands as an Event Concierge soon afterward. She considers the client’s wish her command and is always thinking one step ahead to ensure the event runs smoothly. She looks forward to helping make clients’ dreams come true in 2025 and offers this advice for newly engaged couples: “Enjoy the process. This is a very special time.”
