Broad Run Park

Broad Run is the last park we opened, in 2016, and it encompasses approximately 600 acres of waterfalls, hardwood forests, lookout points, and amenities. Traverse tree-lined trails and paths. Wander by fields of wildflowers. Explore the Moss Gibbs Woodland Garden. Access this park from Turkey Run Park (to the north) or turn off Bardstown Road when you spot the leaping bridge.
