Frederick Law Olmsted provided an 1891 report to the Park Commission. In Olmsted’s vision for the Louisville parks the topography of the land would not require much change. Shawnee would have terraces sloping to the shore of the river. With large areas available, Shawnee would be the Louisville park for outdoor public meetings. The corridor of the river was to be the attraction. Picnic areas and flower gardens were to provide visitors with settings to match with the scenic river corridor.
