Confirmed from Orleans 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.
Neighborhood park offering playgrounds, basketball courts, tennis courts, a volleyball court, and picnic tables.
What runners say about Orleans Park
“Love this park, it's so peaceful and clean and a getaway from all of the inner city parks I recommend this park over any of the parks here in Kentucky!”
“Orleans Park is fun but if you want a park with really beautiful scenery then I suggest going to South Fork park.”
This is a very clean play area. The play area was perfect for my grandbaby to play and run. Slides of different sizes and shapes. 2 different styles of monkey bars. The swing set had 2 regular swings, a toddler, and a handicap swing.
Quiet inside a nice subdivision. Tennis court, basketball court and playground right at parking lot. Bathrooms are as clean as expected. Walking trail. Overall a nice out of the way park.
nice play area both for smaller and bigger kids. basketball court and full on picnic area. nice bridge and walking trails. and super clean bathrooms
Fun little park for the kids to play. Nice playground with plenty of space to run around. Benches and a basketball court too.
Trail conditions & character
“Clean restrooms, nice shelter, tennis courts and sand volleyball court.”
“There are water fountains but just like South Fork park there is no button to push to actually get water.”
