About Irish Hill Park
A Glimpse Into the Past
Located in Louisville's urban landscape, Irish Hill Park has been offering locals a breath of fresh air since 1956. This little green haven spans just 0.81 acres at the corner of Liberty and Lexington Road, making it a humble yet welcome escape from city life.
Nature's Touch
What gives this pocket park its peaceful charm? Look no further than the South Fork of Beargrass Creek flowing alongside it. There's something inherently calming about being near water, even in the middle of a neighborhood.

What You'll Find
The centerpiece of Irish Hill Park is its basketball court, although we should mention it's seen better days and could use some TLC. A handful of benches are scattered throughout, great for taking a moment to unwind or watch the world go by.
Just a heads-up if you're planning to visit: the entrance isn't clearly marked, and parking consists of a small gravel area without formal spaces. It's one of those blink-and-you-might-miss-it kind of places.
Heart of the Community
Don't let its small footprint fool you. For the Irish Hill neighborhood, this park offers a sliver of greenery in an otherwise urban setting. It's one of the few outdoor spaces nearby residents can easily access.
On any given day, you might spot locals walking their dogs or simply enjoying a moment of quiet reflection in this modest space.
