This is one of our favorite walking trails ...Built and paid for by Papa John's Pizza founder John Schnatter who is a resident and owns about 6% of the land in Anchorage.
Anchorage is a beautiful heavily shaded city, within Louisville city limits.
In 1914, the firm of Frederick Law Olmsted designed a plan for Anchorage, which would incorporate stone bridges and triangle intersections, similar to Olmsted's plans for Louisville's park system.
Here are a few pictures we took Saturday. We walk about 3.5 miles there now. John Schnatter keeps adding to the trails and has a great vision there. In an interview, he told the Courier-Journal that his goal was purely to "preserve the city's character".
We are forever grateful to John and his vision for "Our Town". Thanks!
The old fashioned swing.....
Awesome detail....

Yes, I must chime in with LeAnn. You look absolutely gorgeous. Your walking park looks so neat. How pretty. No wonder you enjoy it so much. I have been drinking more water and trying to get off so much diet soda. You look beautiful.
The beautiful place that pizza built. Amen for pizza!! Don't you love the gardens around that gray building. The whole place makes my heart sing.
That's where we did our pictures on Sunday, such an awesome place.
Love the pics of you and dad.
