Petersburg Park

Park Overview

Located in Louisville's Newburg neighborhood, Petersburg Park is a 28-acre green space that's been part of the community since 1971. Owned by Louisville Metro Parks, this spacious retreat offers a great blend of recreation and relaxation opportunities.

The park's lush greenery and scenic views create a peaceful backdrop for your outdoor adventures. It's not just about the nature though - Petersburg Park has evolved into a vibrant community hub where neighbors connect. Throughout the year, you might stumble upon live music performances or the annual Newburg Day celebration, complete with a lively parade and family-friendly activities that bring the whole neighborhood together.

Recreational Facilities

Whether you're looking to break a sweat or entertain the kids, Petersburg Park offers plenty of options. The winding walking paths provide a tranquil setting for your morning jog or evening stroll.

Families particularly appreciate the thoughtfully designed inclusive playground that welcomes children of all abilities. During Louisville's warmer months, the sprayground becomes the neighborhood's favorite cooling spot. It's conveniently located right next to the playground, making it easy to keep an eye on kids who want to alternate between splashing and climbing.

Skateboarders have their own dedicated space in the recently added skate park. If court sports are more your style, you can find well-maintained tennis courts, basketball courts, and pickleball courts - all with lights for those evening games when the day's heat has subsided.

Community Amenities

The park's community center represents an anchor for neighborhood activities, while scattered picnic areas with tables and grills offer perfect spots for family gatherings or casual outdoor meals.

One of the park's best features is its abundance of wide-open spaces where you can toss a frisbee, practice yoga, or even work on your golf swing, as some locals do.

Pet-Friendly Features

Your four-legged friends are welcome at Petersburg Park, making it a favorite destination for dog owners. The spacious grounds and walking trails provide plenty of opportunities for your pup to explore and exercise alongside you.

Additional Information

You can enjoy Petersburg Park daily from 6AM to 11PM. The park offers a nice balance of natural beauty, recreational options, and community spaces for the Newburg neighborhood.
