Louisville’s draft PROS Guidebook is ready for your review

Public feedback is open until September 13, 2026 (see comment field below)

After more than a year of research, planning, and community input, the draft Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Guidebook is ready for public review.

The PROS Guidebook, consisting of the Long-Range Plan and Trails System Plan, will provide direction for Louisville’s Parks, Recreation & Senior Services, Open Space, Trails, and Coal Creek Golf Course over the next 10 years. It brings together community input, research and data to help guide future priorities and decisions. It will:

• Replace the current Parks, Recreation, Open Space, and Trails Master Plan (last updated in 2012)
• Create the City’s first Trails System Plan
• Align with the City’s updated Comprehensive Plan

PROS Guidebook: Long Range Plan Guides the stewardship, enhancement and operation of Louisville’s Parks, Recreation & Senior Services, Open Space, and Coal Creek Golf Course over the next decade. The plan focuses on existing assets, sustainability, equity, connectivity and long-term resilience.	PROS Guidebook: Trail System Plan Guides Louisville’s approach to recreational access and trail connectivity while preserving open space and natural ecosystems. The plan addresses trail user experiences, ecological protection and a healthy, active community for generations to come.

Before the plans move toward adoption, we want to hear from you. Please take some time to review both documents and provide feedback below.
