Pumpkins at PlayPort

Location: PlayPort – 1105 Rowan Street, Louisville, KY 40203

Waterfront Park is excited to host the inaugural Pumpkins at PlayPort on Saturday, October 11, from 4:00 – 8:00 pm.  This is a free, family-friendly event.  Wear your favorite costumes and enjoy trick-or-treating throughout PlayPort.

Waterfront Park is partnering with local organizations to bring Fall fun to this state-of-the-art playground, located at 1105 Rowan Street.  Organizations like Frazier History Museum, Kentucky Science Center, Kentucky Kingdom, Louisville Free Public Library, Louisville Public Media, and many others will be there to interact with children and provide activities such as spooky story time and free books, face painting, tattoos, craft-making, and other fun activities.  Portal will provide a DJ with spooky tunes and a dance floor, and there will be a live performance by the Complex Collaboration Step Team.  Be on the lookout for Catfish Louie and other life-sized characters and don’t forget to stop by the Caudill Seed Pumpkin Patch to pick out your pumpkin (while supplies last).  Several food and beverage vendors will be on site with food and beverages for purchase.  The event will also provide fantastic giveaways from Kentucky Kingdom.

Waterfront Park PlayPort is an innovative outdoor experiential learning and play area.  Paying homage to the Ohio River’s cultural and industrial heritage, this 3.5-acre space features custom -built playground equipment made from repurposed construction and boat materials, creating a distinctive environment for hands-on exploration.  Designed to foster creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and imagination, PlayPort offers engaging opportunities for families to learn together. Educational signage and interactive exhibits include graphics, content explaining how the exhibits work, play prompts, and links to videos developed by the Kentucky Science Center.  PlayPort is an inclusive, transformative space where children of all abilities can enjoy accessible play along-side STEM-based learning.  This project marks the beginning of the Phase IV expansion, with exciting additions to come.  Come out and join the fun!
