On the banks of the Ohio

Wharf - Belle of Louisville - Louisville, KY as seen from Southern Indiana


The American Society of Landscape Architects awarded a design award to Waterfront Park in Louisville, KY in 2001. The site must withstand the frequent wave action due to the wake from barges passing on the Ohio River. The complete site is in the 100 year flood plain and has been inundated multiple times. After each inundation the park must be cleaned before it can be opened to the community. Turnaround after inundation has gone well. The site is a popular location.  It is now a signature part of the city.
