About the Venue

Shawnee Park is part of Louisville's official inclusive playground system and gives west Louisville families a large-park setting for all-abilities play. The public park page confirms a playground, restrooms, picnic amenities, and sprayground access within a much larger Olmsted park. It is a good fit for families who want inclusive play as part of a fuller outdoor day rather than a quick in-and-out playground stop.
