Louisville's Cherokee Park air quality benefits from the 409-acre Olmsted-designed hillside park's substantial woodland providing natural filtration in the Highlands neighbourhood. Vehicle traffic on Lexington Road and the surrounding residential character contribute modest local sources, while the park's hillside topography and the woodland canopy generally maintain among Louisville's more pleasant major urban park environments throughout most of the year.
