Parcourse - Hammer Run

Dogs Leashed

No fees. Moxie Bread Co is nearby, along with lots of other shops downtown.

This begins along Bella Vista Dr, heading north. Run or bike to the start, you could also connect this to the Coal Creek Trail. There are 17 exercise stations along the way, they are generally in order on your right as you do the loop.

The trail was orginally created as a "Parcourse" (which is what all the signs say) by the original HOA that is now defunct. The course still exists but as of this writing, it could use some TLC. It is known to the City of Louisville as "Hammer's Run".

Follow the course and the stations as they exist, or come up with your own!
