Olmsted Parkways
Southern Parkway (formerly Grand Avenue) circa 1926
Residents along Louisville's historic Olmsted Parkways are part of a unique feature in our urban landscape. Frederick Law Olmsted designed these parkways as linear parks, literally an extension of the beautiful parks that they connect.
The fact that these parkways still exist today is a testament to the hard work and determination of city leaders, non-profit organizations, and - most importantly - Louisville's citizens, who have refused to let the parkways fade into history.
