Deer Park is the only place you can find the deer statues, which are scattered all over the community. It's a bit of a play on the famous Thoroughbred statues you can find in order Louisville neighborhoods. Deer Park is full of unique homes and historic buildings that create a one-of-a-kind look. There are many bungalow homes here and several Craftsman-style houses. Big historical revival homes are all over Deer Park, too.
