Barklands
Members-only park with separate sections and a wading pool
About this park
Barklands is part of the Louisville Dog Run Association network, requiring a key fob (around $45/year) that also grants access to other member parks in the city. The grounds are split into small-dog and all-dog areas, both open and well-maintained, with covered seating to offset the minimal shade. Interstate noise carries into the park, but reviewers consistently overlook it.
