LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville park has been nominated for a national competition celebrating America's riverside parks.
Waterfront Park is one of 20 parks in the running for the "Best Riverwalk by USA Today's 2024 10Best Readers' Choice Awards."
Last year, Waterfront Park placed third in the national competition behind Detroit and Tampa. However, this could be the year a Louisville park cinches the top spot in the competition.
Deborah Bilitski, president of Waterfront Park, said she is thrilled to be nominated and needs help from the Louisville community to win the competition.

“It is an honor to be nominated by the editors of 10Best as a top Riverwalk in the nation,” Bilitski said. “It is a testament to 25 years of park excellence, having transformed our industrial waterfront to vibrant greenspace with 2.4 million visitors annually. Please help us be recognized as the #1 Best Riverwalk in the United States with your vote.”
“As Louisville’s most visited free attraction it’s no wonder that Waterfront Park continues to make the list of America’s top riverwalks year after year,” Mayor Craig Greenberg said. “Please join me in voting for Waterfront Park so we can claim the top spot in this year’s contest!”
You can vote up to once a day for your favorite Riverwalk. The voting period started March 11 and ends Monday, April 8 at noon.
