Design Recommendation for Northern Overlook at Iroquois Park Presented Aug. 19
Iroquois Park, the
oldest of Louisville’s big 3 Olmsted parks, dates back to 1891. The Louisville Metro Parks Department
presented a design recommendation for the Northern Overlook Reconstruction in
Iroquois Park on Tuesday Aug. 19.
In July, park goers were able to take
a walking tour and suggest ideas for the restoration project. Yet great
views of downtown Louisville and the rest of Jefferson County from the Northern
Overlook.
Iroquois Park is one of
the last parks to be updated. The idea
is to improve the overlook’s sustainability and make it less prone to erosion while
creating a welcoming space for the public.
Cars will be located a little distance away from the actual viewing area
and it will be a very enjoyable short walk to the view itself. The project is estimated to cost $1 million.
