Parks For All is the equitable and transparent investment action plan for the Louisville Parks and Recreation System ensuring equitable access to, and equitable investments in, parks and recreation services for all Louisvillians. The detailed equitable investment strategies cover park maintenance, rehabilitation of existing assets, recreation programming, and capital investments. The Parks For All Action Plan is built on data – park condition data, community condition data, and data on the public’s priorities for park investments – while also providing best practice recommendations covering asset management strategies, partnership strategies, revenue strategies, financial management practices, policy and operational practices, data management, and anti-displacement strategies.
“Now we know where the most people will benefit from green investments; where can we counteract legacies of environmental racism and historic disinvestment; and where we can have the greatest impact on community health. The data on park and agency needs, neighborhood context, and the public’s priorities, informed the recommendations in the Parks For All Action Plan, which provides a roadmap to build equity and excellence in our public park system.”
