Enjoy the beauty of The Parklands of Floyds Fork at the second annual Parklands 5K Walk & Run! This world-class addition to Louisville’s parks system that includes four major parks linked by a park drive, a first-rate urban trail system, and a remarkable water trail, all tracing Floyds Fork, a classic Kentucky stream. This public/private project is unique in the region and unlike anything currently in development across the country—truly a city-shaping model.

Take a beautiful stroll or an invigorating morning run through Beckley Creek Park while supporting The Parklands! Join us for The Parklands Walk & Run on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2020, as we gather together to raise funds for the annual operations and maintenance of this 4,000-acre, donor-supported park system!

It includes over 50 miles of trails for hiking and biking, a mountain bike park, a 19-mile, ADA-certified, multi-use paved trail that spans the length of the park and 20 miles of paddling trail.
