The Parklands of Floyds Fork*
©WRT
Louisville, KY
Developed largely from scratch from a combination of farmland, undevelopable slopes and wet bottomlands, the landscape is notable in its magnitude and undeveloped state. Over 100 species of trees, 50 species of shrubs, 175 species of perennials /groundcovers and 90 species of grasses were specified to form the middle ground between forest and buildings. The Parklands of Floyds Fork is a 20–mile, 4,000-acre, systemic world-class addition to the Louisville Park System.
