History of Olmsted Parks
Frederick Law Olmsted was commissioned to design a park system for Louisville in 1891, and created his greatest achievement: a system of parks connected to tree-lined parkways, instead of freestanding parks as was the common practice. Today, seventeen parks and six parkways comprise Louisville’s historic park system.
