Louisville's Shawnee Park air quality benefits from the 177-acre Olmsted-designed West End riverfront park's substantial woodland providing natural filtration. Vehicle traffic on Northwestern Parkway and the surrounding West Louisville residential character contribute local sources, while the Ohio River waterfront and the park's woodland generally maintain moderate Louisville metropolitan readings and Shawnee Park provides one of Louisville's more significant West End green spaces throughout most of the year.
