Tyler Park

Louisville, KY

Tyler Park is an historic Olmsted Brothers Park in Louisville, KY. Several of the features from the original Olmsted Brothers Master Plan remain in the park, such as the oval lawn, tennis courts and some of the original trail paths. Over time, additional amenities have been installed that provide service to the community, but are not in keeping with the historic plan. Element Design was tasked with reviewing and updating the 2009 master plan in accordance with the current program needs. In addition, the design was to be in accordance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation of this historic site. Restore the intent of the event lawn from the original Olmsted Brothers’ plan while relocating the useful amenities and improving ADA accessibility throughout the park.
