The Parklands of Floyds Fork

The Parklands of Floyds Fork offers a distinctive collection of outdoor and indoor event venues across a substantial public park system in Louisville, Kentucky. Event organisers can choose from landscaped gardens, picnic shelters, pavilions, barns, meeting rooms, event lawns and lodge facilities, creating options for both relaxed outdoor gatherings and more structured business occasions.

The Ogle Foundation Woodland Pavilion in Broad Run Park is suited to birthday celebrations, family reunions and other informal gatherings, with space for up to 125 guests. It includes nearby parking, adjoining restrooms, a buffet staging area and accessible facilities, while the surrounding playground, sprayground, gardens, trails and creekside scenery provide plenty of ways to extend the day beyond the pavilion itself.

For corporate organisers, The Parklands also provides larger, more formal settings. The UPS Great Room at Gheens Foundation Lodge can accommodate up to 300 guests and is suitable for fundraisers, luncheons, galas, workshops, conferences and team gatherings. Smaller meetings can be held in The Parklands Room, which seats up to 50 people and benefits from natural light, Wi-Fi, presentation equipment and views of the creek.

Depending on the venue and event format, facilities may include microphones, podiums, audiovisual equipment, easels, warming kitchens for approved caterers, outdoor terraces, lawns and boardroom space. Organisers can also explore guided hikes, outdoor workspaces and other park-based additions. Large groups, commercial activities and certain public events may require permits, with the events team available to help identify a suitable space and clarify booking requirements. Facility rental income supports the ongoing care and operation of the visitor-supported park system.
