Free concerts and family events.

Honestly it needs to be an aquarium and not any more lawn space. Let's get an indoor playground there, something for children in winter

Smaller event lawn, right-size it to the space. There are better locations downtown with access to the street grid for events -Jefferson Sq.

More free events would be best. I love the Belvedere and would hate to see it ruined.

Is this the best use of the cities dollars?

Art fairs, concerts, Shakespeare in the park, farmers markets

More free concerts and festivals!

Please scrap the idea of putting a roof over one of the prime viewing spots for Thunder over Louisvilles air show and fireworks.

A music festival such as jazz, blues or bluegrass. Perfect venue.

Free concerts (jazz, bluegrass, etc) festivals/celebrations like worldfest,

move the event lawn to the city plaza/SG area to borrow building shade and open views across the river. avoids high use conflicts with KCPA

I would love to see more events focused around the current assets around the park, focusing on events that aren't one-offs.

Splash pad, climbing,swinging, sliding for kids of all ages.

Make it indoor so kids can play in winter. Also sandboxes or something for toddlers and young kids. Old kids already have playport & a-land

We could make the playground elegant so as to be a sculptural feature for adult and night events too. If it’s climbable, kids will climb it

We could make the splash pad elegant so as to be a water feature for adult and night events too. If it’s wet, kids will play in it.

I love the idea of a nature playground like Bernheim Forest has. This would offer a nice complement to the playgrounds in Waterfront Park.

Yes to play space! Splash pad, needs quality restrooms with changing areas for wet kids. Staffed restroom like Railyard Park in Bloomington.

The existing water feature is quite nice. Just take down the no bathing signs and let kids use it.

abundant shade, canopies and shade structures everywhere

Fountain, exercise/paths, benches, jungle gym/swings

Outdoor gym equipment aka "adult playground"

Shaded benches for parents, nearby restroom for kids to use & change in, nearby water fountain

Connections to navigation and industrialization of the Ohio River in Louisville, much like Waterfront Park West's new playground.

Places to sit - like there are now. Low concrete walled flower beds - but have someone actually maintain the plants.

Add green space project

the terminating destination should be linked through and connect to main street to attract people into and through the spaces

Spaces to view the river, and and sit and relax. None of that fluffy weird waffle bowl design.

I want to not hear any cars.

Boating storage for kayaks and other small bikes and scooter parking. Protected bike parking

watch the sunset

Yoga, tai chi, mahjong, chess, lunch

Have dinner.

History of the falls

Have a little cafe and shade spot to enjoy flowers and view of river

Consider automatic, convertible shade umbrellas like those at Prophet’s Mosque plaza in Medina, Saudi Arabia. (Smaller versions maybe)

Children playing in the water.

artful and interpretive design that celebrates the river and local ecosystems

Space for reflection, places to be fully immersed in nature and not feel like your in a downtown space, take Olmstead's lead!

Native KY plants that tell a story about the ecology of the river

Native plants to KY and the falls of the ohio

I’d like to sit with a friend and watch the river traffic (under shade)

A regular and announced rotation of sculpture art from both local and international artists.

don't hide this space in the corner. Create a strong viewshed to draw people in from Main Street.

LOCAL ARTISTS! Cannot emphasize that enough, we need to feature a local artist, and enough with horses we get it.

Inspiration should be found from Setas de Sevilla (Spain). A perfect concept for such a central space/park….that would be iconic!!

I like a landscape garden area with rooms anchored by sculptures (and some seating)

the statue of York

What about a HUGE disco ball! An attraction that reflects our cool history and would be a draw for visitors/photos (think Chicago bean).

Scrap this and make an indoor playground, or if it like a town square add music and outdoor artists

Semi-shaded/sheer shelters could line the plaza, acting as tents for farmers markets on weekends and casual cabanas for public use weekdays.

There is a great outdoor space at Muhammad Ali Center. Program it and treat it as and extension of the Belvedere, in lieu of duplicating.

This part of the existing Belvedere is nice. If not enough dollars: update the canopies, clean up the space, and hire a horticulturist.

shaded areas, plenty of them

Tai chi!

Video billboards and add event month or week.

All kinds of events, play off the surrounding context, get us downtown for more than the little one-offs!

Bike tours pedestrian tours, non car options

Ping-pong tournament

Food trucks and market stalls

Shops that can be converted into a christmas markets in season, farmers markets and spaces for artists to highlight their work

Would be nice to emphasize the symmetry of the view and the lighting down the entrance to really draw people in from main street

Some sort of signature entrance so visitors know the Belvedere actually exists.

Hide/clean up the KYPA loading dock. It really takes away from the entrance to the Belvedere and makes the access from Main feel unsafe.

Pls add bike lane and tree

Street trees, an iconic entry, maybe like Armstrong park in NOLA or any of our fabulous Lou based parks.

GREAT paving!! Something that really animates the ground plane. And something sculptural/vertical to catch your eye. Lots of “Street” trees!

Some kind of shading, whether it be from larger trees or built canopy.

Sheltered electric and water for any vendors and stalls similar to Findlay Market

The entrance should be structural and iconic, also a great photo moment

A place to start a foot race

Rocking chairs, rocking swings, checker/chess boards, anything like a cracker barrel front porch that makes you want to relax and watch h20

Just because we lost the aggressive overlook design, doesn’t mean the overlook needs to play second fiddle. Consider a sublime direction

Plaza at end of Galt House dropoff/ access ramp and tunnel needs to be part of the solution.

Ped ramps in lieu of stairs. Something sculptural and whimsical, that actually makes a good connection down to the river.

Maybe make sure the stairs are safe more landing breaks

CONNECT TO IT, honestly get rid of that darn highway, its a hinderance on our riverfront.

A staircase with several levels of landings for observation. Importantly there should be something at the bottom worth visiting.
