PROS Guidebook

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.
