Iroquois Park

If you're a returning listener, you know it's like I say every single week, couldn't do it without you and you know we wouldn't want to anyways.

This week we are hiking a new trail over here in Iroquois Park.

I was just driving the loop and was looking for a spot to park and I noticed this trailhead that I had never come down before.

Seems like it's going to be a little bit of an incline today, but that's good for you.

All of those methods can lead to a vast amount of variation in terms of how do I say, how the neurological chemistry tends to create our narrative of our life.

Let's see, we've got Jack's Lantern Trail.

I will say the fucking Halloween spectacular they used to do here, I think, separated from Iroquois Park and now they're doing their own thing, which is cool to see, you know.

Not that it's cool to see the thing separated because that was a really fun experience.

So this is Jack's Lantern Trail.

It's hosted at Iroquois Park in Louisville.

The reason I knew about this is actually, you know, my wife grew up in South End and it was something that it was just getting going when it first started.

She says it's 14 years.

My name is Brooke Pardue.

I'm the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives for the Parks Alliance of Louisville.

And I actually came directly from Iroquois Park here.

So it took me about 20 minutes.

I would say that building our audience experience is something that's very important to us in the organization.

We need to make sure that everybody knows about all the great things that we're doing, whether it's Iroquois Park with Pedrito Martinez, with Afro-Cuban music, or whether we're playing the big warhorses.

I mean, we have Yuja Wong coming, one of the world's leading pianists, coming to Louisville, actually to southern Indiana to play at the Ogle Center, which is incredible.

So vision-wise, it's really simple.

I have not done much hiking in the last year, probably since you all left.

So I really want to commit to going to Iroquois Park.

I think I've decided that's like the one where I'm most drawn to right now.

I think it has the best views and I like the challenge of the hills and stuff.

So like once a week, I want to go to Iroquois Park.

Yes.

And like when you make a point to do it, Iroquois is also, I think, the most beautiful in autumn.

And it still might be, I don't know.
