The Plan will replace the outdated 1992 Parks Master Plan that is no longer relevant <br />to the City's needs. Over the past year, the consulting team has compiled a tremendous <br />amount of research and input to develop recommendations specific to the needs and interests <br />of the City of Louisville.
