The Parklands is comprised of four parks—Beckley Creek Park, Pope Lick Park, Turkey Run Park and Broad Run Park—stretching from Shelbyville Road to Bardstown Road. All four parks are now open to the public and are connected by 19 miles of the Louisville Loop, a scenic park drive and include more than 60 miles of trails for hiking, biking and paddling.
