History of Shawnee Park

When Frederick Law Olmsted designed Louisville’s park system, he started with three main parks: Cherokee, Iroquois and Shawnee. Designed in 1892, Shawnee Park is the West Louisville cornerstone of the park system. The two principal features of the park are the concourses that afford extensive views and the expansive Great Lawn, a signature Olmsted design feature.
