Louisville’s Olmsted Parks - Iroquois

Eastern Redbud adds to the color in the Iroquois Park woods



 

Olmsted stated his vision for Iroquois Park in his 1891 report to the Park Commission. Olmsted said Iroquois provided “the grandeur of forest depths.”Iroquois Park was to provide the visitor with the experience of being surrounded by the forest. The central hill was to provide overlooks to view the surrounding land. Iroquois was and is unique in the park system.
