Three decades after E.P.. Tom Sawyer State Park opened in 1974, then in 2004, Louisville City officials suggested that Otter Creek Park, a city-operated park lying outside of Louisville's city limits, become a state park in an exchange for E. P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park becoming a city park. Six years later finally in 2010, the state took over the city's Otter Creek Park in a separate deal and it reopened the following year in 2011 after renovations and improvements as an outdoor recreation area operated by the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.
