A rustic red barn, Beckley Creek Park with a weathered roof stands amidst lush greenery, enveloped in a thick morning fog. Tall trees are faintly visible in the background, adding to the serene and tranquil atmosphere.
This red barn is located in Beckley Creek Park, one of five interconnected nature parks (known as the Parklands) that stretch along Floyds Fork, a 62-mile long tributary of the Salt River on the south side of Louisville, Kentucky, in Jefferson County. Including Beckley, the five parks are: Pope Lick, Broad Run, Turkey Run, and the Strand, comprising more than 4,000 acres. After Jefferson Memorial Forest, it is the largest nature park in Louisville.
