VISIT OUR OPEN HOUSE! Wednesday, October 29 12:30 - 2 p.m. or 5 - 6:30 p.m. Louisville Recreation & Senior Center (900 W Via Appia)
We need your input to help guide the future of our Parks, Open Spaces, Trails, Recreation & Senior Center, and Golf Course!
Big things are happening in Louisville—and we want you to join us on the journey!
The Parks, Recreation & Open Space (PROS) Department is creating a new Guidebook to outline department priorities for the next 10+ years.
The Guidebook includes two related plans:
The Long-Range Plan: for Parks, Open Spaces, Recreation & Senior Center, and Coal Creek Golf Course
The Trails Master Plan: for trails and trail connections
To get it right, we need to hear from the people who live, work, play, walk, bike, gather, and explore here—that means you. Your input will make sure the Guidebook reflects the diverse interests and evolving needs of the Louisville community.
Because this Guidebook isn’t just about plans—it’s about people. It’s a chance to align community values with real action, helping to ensure that the places you care about continue to support connection, wellness, and quality of life for years to come. Public input will help shape the plan’s focus and discussions will likely include topics such as outdoor recreation amenities, playgrounds, courts, conservation of natural areas, trails, facilities, programs, land acquisitions, and more.
Get Involved!
We want to hear from you—and we’re listening. The more people who participate, the better this plan can reflect the full range of voices in Louisville. Whether you’re a dog park regular, a senior center visitor, a golfer, or a parent of young kids—your voice matters. We look forward to hearing your ideas and insights as we shape this important Guidebook together.

Take the Community Survey
Louisville Residents: You should have received a postcard in the mail with your unique code to take our statistically valid survey.
The Guidebook is intended to give the PROS Department direction for the next 10+ years. It will:
Replace the current Parks and Recreation Master Plan (last updated in 2012)
Create the City’s first Trails Master Plan, as identified by the City Charter
Complement previous plans (including the City Comprehensive Plan) and inform future studies, plans, and priorities
Who's Involved
The planning process is being led by City of Louisville Parks, Recreation and Open Space Department staff. The City has hired a consulting team led by DTJ Design, who brings significant subject matter expertise at the local and national level.
