Good to know

Members-only: a Louisville Dog Run Association permit/key fob (about $50/yr first dog), current Metro pet license and up-to-date vaccinations required.
Sits near the Ohio River, but this is a fenced grass dog park — there’s no sanctioned dog swim in the river here.
Open and exposed; KY heat and humidity can be intense, so bring water and use the shaded spots.
