About River Hill Park

Recreation and Trails

Positioned on Crosby Drive, River Hill Park offers a refreshing escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This neighborhood favorite provides a little something for everyone, whether you're looking to break a sweat, spend quality time with family, or simply enjoy some fresh air.

The park's crown jewel might just be its paved walking loop that circles the grounds. At 0.5 miles long, it's excellent for a quick morning jog, an evening stroll with your four-legged friend, or just getting those steps in without committing to a major hike. The concrete path makes it accessible year-round, regardless of weather conditions.

Sports Facilities

Frisbee enthusiasts, rejoice! The 9-hole disc golf course here might be compact, but it packs a punch with its technical layout. Most holes are under 300 feet, making this course approachable for newcomers while still offering enough challenges to keep regulars engaged. The addition of second baskets on every hole means you can switch up your game each time you visit. And don't worry about spending half your time searching for lost discs - the minimal underbrush keeps the frustration factor low.

If disc golf isn't your thing, you've got options. Shoot some hoops at the basketball courts or try your hand at one of America's fastest-growing sports on the three pickleball courts, complete with permanent nets and clear lines. There's also a baseball diamond that's fantastic for impromptu games or practicing your swing.

Amenities for Everyone

Got kids in tow? The modern playground equipment will keep them entertained while you catch your breath. The sturdy structures accommodate children of various ages, including the little ones.

When lunchtime rolls around, head to the picnic shelter where tables await your spread. It's a great spot to refuel while taking in the peaceful surroundings. Near the disc golf course, you can find another shelter that provides welcome shade on sunny Kentucky days.

Nature calls? No problem. The park features restrooms with the added bonus of electrical outlets on the building's exterior - handy for charging devices or powering small equipment for gatherings.

Park Setting

Set in a quiet suburban area, River Hill Park strikes that perfect balance between active recreation and peaceful relaxation. The mostly flat terrain makes it accessible for everyone, including those with mobility challenges. While the ground can get a bit soggy after heavy rainfall, the park is generally well-maintained with regular mowing keeping things tidy.

What makes this park special isn't its size but rather how much it offers within its modest boundaries. It's the kind of place locals treasure and visitors appreciate discovering - a little pocket of outdoor enjoyment right in the neighborhood.
