Baxter Square
WELCOME TO THE CITY OF LOUISVILLE’S FIRST PUBLIC PARK!
Founded in 1880, the Olmsted firm made recommendations for improvements to the urban green space in 1892. It’s more formal in nature than Olmsted’s expansive, flowing designs for the urban woodland parks. His goal was to bring neighborhood residents together for casual interaction.
