Confirmed from Bardstown Community Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Bardstown Community Park
“But other than that, the bathrooms were clean and stocked, and there's plenty of space to sit in your chairs or on a blanket.”
A nice slice of Mother Nature Hidden inside the historic district of Bardstown city limits. A very picturesque setting with a amphitheater/ shelter and a covered picnic shelter.
This park has it all!! I love trail walking, I didn’t know they had them too! Bardstown is a really nice place to be!!
A cool little venue for some great love music, an AMAZING playground, and even a few miles of interesting and engaging trails to hike!
