Fred's Facts
Iroquois Park for Frederick Law Olmsted represented “a treasure of sylvan scenery” providing “the grandeur of the forest depths in the dim seclusion of which you may wander musingly for hours.”
This formal 16-acre park was named for Kentucky’s first governor, Isaac Shelby.
The Olmsted Firm took great care to arrange many recreational facilities along with a bandstand at the center of the park. Adjoining this lovely, neighborhood park is the Shelby Park Community Center, an original Carnegie Libary.
