The Parklands Launches New Website Designed by Local Firm
Beckley Creek Park, Broad Run Park, Pope Lick Park, The Strand, Turkey Run Park
Louisville, Ky. (January 15, 2021) — The Parklands of Floyds Fork launched a redesigned website on Thursday, January 14, 2021. The web address remains the same, but visitors will notice a new look and layout to help them plan their next outing to the nearly 4,000-acre park system.
The site was designed by Mightily, a full-service brand-advertising firm located in Louisville, KY. Selected for the project in late 2019, the agency worked with park staff to reorganize and develop a fresh look to entice new visitors to discover The Parklands, as well as help returning visitors explore new areas.
The Parklands of Floyds Fork is comprised of four parks—Beckley Creek Park, Pope Lick Park, Turkey Run Park and Broad Run Park. All four parks have been open since 2016 and are connected by 27 miles of Floyds Fork and 19 miles of the fully-accessible Louisville Loop trail. More than 80 miles of trails wind through the parks, offering many scenic locations for walking, biking, paddling, fishing, picnicking, learning, competing, sightseeing, gardening and tail-wagging.
The visitor-supported park system experienced record-breaking visitation in 2020. Park staff recorded a total of 3,825,891 visits from January 1 – December 31, 2020. The former record was 3.1 million visits in 2019. To view the new website and plan your next visit to The Parklands, visit www.theparklands.org.
