About The Owners…
Overview of the Property
The most amazing thing about Progress Park is that it feels like you’ve escaped into the great outdoors, yet you’re still inside the city limits. Our property is conveniently located less than 10 miles from Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Expo Center and downtown Louisville. It’s just a couple miles from the Highlands neighborhood, so if you’re up for shopping, a nice dinner or a yoga class, it’s just down the road. And if you’re stocking up for your week of Glamping, you’re only about a mile from the many conveniences such as Costco, Kroger, Target, Walmart and Starbucks. You’re also just minutes away from all the fun that Derby City has to offer.
The 10 rental units are scattered around a 2 acre pond, and includes 4 beaches, each of which are stocked with their own set of kayaks, canoes & paddleboards along with life jackets.
The perimeter of the property has a mulched, groomed hiking trail, great for a nature hike or even a scavenger hunt!
And in the center of the property you’ll find our games lawn & Playground are where you can enjoy shuffleboard, cornhole, ladder golf, volleyball, basketball, gaga ball, tether ball and more!
This map helps show you a complete overview of our 12 acre property.
