LATEST NEWS - JANUARY 5 The parking lot paving project was completed in November. Hopefully your cars will stay cleaner this winter (wish the same could be said for your dogs). PARK LOCATION & DESCRIPTION Cherokee Park is a 409-acre park located in the heart of Louisville. The Louisville Dog Run Association is currently working with Louisville Metro Parks to establish the Cochran Hill Dog Run at Cherokee Park. The Cochran Hill Dog Run in Cherokee Park is located on a portion of Cherokee Park between I-64 and Lexington Road at the northern end of the park. The dog park is approximately two acres and is divided in half to allow one side for all dog use and one side for small dog use.
