Louisville has many urban activities to offer including a 100-mile trail called the Louisville Loop that encircles the entire community, and the river front park. The river front park is a 72+ acre park located right on the Ohio River. The city currently has one of the nation's largest parks expansions underway, adding 4,000 new acres of park land.
Most people know Louisville, KY for either the Kentucky Derby which takes place in the city, or for the Louisville Slugger Museum with the worlds largest baseball bat. Every year there is a Derby kick-off celebration with over 70 events including the great hot air balloon race, steamboat race, mini-marathon run, and finally the largest event: Thunder Over Louisville. This is the largest annual fireworks display in all of North America!
