For events that last a few days, consider accommodations in one of our excellent state park lodges!

suite for wedding preparation; and a prep kitchen all await you and your

Located in the northeast are of Louisville, this urban park
is a refuge from the fast-paced life of a busy city. The SHCC was building in
2009. Its natural stone and woodsy exterior is harmonious with the natural
landscaping that flourishes throughout the park.
The interior continues the theme of natural beauty with the
welcoming Hearth Room featuring a large fireplace encased in Brazilian marble
and stone brick, stone flooring from Italy and exposed beams. The
floor-to-ceiling windows and organic color palette of the Woodlands and
Persimmon Rooms give the illusion that you’ve immersed yourself in the woods.
The park is also home to the Sawyer Hayes Community Center,
a beautiful venue for events. This modern construction is nestled in an arborous
area of E.P. “Tom” Sawyer, and extends the outdoor theme inside with its high
wooden beams, Kentucky-inspired artwork and gorgeous views of the surrounding
natural scenery. The center hosts everything from weddings to business events
and other occasions like anniversary parties and reunions.
Louisville’s only state park, E.P. “Tom” Sawyer, is a hub
for recreational activities and a charming setting for any occasion. Located on
Louisville’s east end, the park features both indoor and outdoor basketball
courts, an outdoor pool, picnic tables, pavilion (shelter) rentals,
team-building, an archery range, pickleball, softball, geocaching, outdoor
volleyball, an orienteering course, walking trails and tennis.
With more than 5,720 square footage of space, the Sawyer
Hayes Community Center can entertain up to 200 people depending on your event.
The center also provides several vendor choices and access to park amenities,
creating a customizable experience that is truly hard to find anywhere else.
