Many
thanks to Tommy Wheatley, Gail Linville, Dale Kilburne and Dismas Charities
for help last Sunday in a District 15 cleanup. Five locations were
cleared of litter - in all over 70 bags of litter and trash were picked.
Please don't litter - use trash cans. It keeps our area clean and
makes a more inviting community for economic development!
The
Louisville Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular is
back for a 4th year from October
13th – November 6th, 2016 in Iroquois Park with 5,000 carved
pumpkins lining a ¼-mile walking trail, which is transformed into an "art
show" through nightly illumination and themed scenes with music. This
is an extraordinary experience the whole family can enjoy together! The event
is held in rain or shine with gate tours available from dusk to 11 p.m.
during the week (Sunday-Thursday) and until midnight on Friday & Saturday.
Tickets are now available and are between $9 - $15 depending on age
(children under 3 are free). To learn more about the Louisville
Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular or to purchase tickets please go to www.iroquoisamphitheater.com
 Work is underway for new restrooms and a splash pad for the park. The old water feature has been removed. A new water fountain will also adorn the park!
 Urban agriculture is a growing movement that brings locally sourced, fresh food to cities while making neighborhoods greener, healthier places to live—reconnecting residents with the land and the food they put on their tables. This trend is coming to south Louisville through a unique alliance of government, health care, and non-profit organizations collaborating to convert almost 16 acres in the heart of the Hazelwood neighborhood into an urban farm.
Dubbed the “South Points Food Collaborative,” the effort converts a vacant field—formerly the Iroquois Homes site— into an urban farming oasis with three facets:
Hope Community Farm: Louisville Grows is cultivating about seven acres with resettled refugee and new American neighborhood families and have formed a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program to distribute weekly boxes of produce from the farm to subscribers. In response to the identified need for mental health services for refugees who’ve survived trauma, Gate of Hope provides counseling using nature-based programs that integrate garden education and activity. Future plans call for a tree nursery and a market garden to supply the nearby Save-A-Lot grocery store.
Iroquois Farm: KentuckyOne Health—in partnership with local farmers Andrew Hockenberry and Ivor Chodkowski— is leasing 8.7 acres for a “farm-to-hospital-table” effort. KentuckyOne will purchase fresh food produced on the Iroquois Farm, creating a new institutional market for a small farm operation. Planned property improvements are designed to support a self-sustaining urban farm to serve patients and visitors at neighborhood anchor Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital while establishing a replicable model for other KentuckyOne hospitals across the state.
The Food Literacy Project: The Food Literacy Project will offer its hands-on, inquiry-based Field-to-Fork Program at a new outdoor classroom on Iroquois Farm, immediately proximal to Hazelwood Elementary and other area schools and community-based organizations. Youth, families, teens and adults will learn by discovery- planting, cultivating, harvesting and cooking with fresh vegetables. As participants discover the joy of real food, they will empower themselves with skills to lead healthy lives and engage as leaders in transforming their community.
To celebrate, a neighborhood block party called the South Points Family Jam is planned for Saturday, Oct. 15 from 11am-2pm to open the farm to neighbors and engage residents in the site’s transformation. The community is invited for “field-to-fork fun” to include hay rides, face painting, pumpkin painting, cider pressing, healthy food cooking demos, and more. To learn more, find us on Facebook by searching for “South Points Family Jam.” PolicyLink, a national research and policy institute, reports urban farming brings many benefits including improved access to healthy food, workforce training and job development, and neighborhood revitalization. Planting on vacant or underused urban spaces fosters a greater sense of community, creates safer neighborhoods, and connects people of different backgrounds. The South Points Food Collaborative is located on land owned by the Louisville Metro Housing Authority. The property was the site of the Iroquois Homes public housing project and had been vacant since 2012. Special thanks to Councilwoman Marianne Butler for facilitating the support and participation of Louisville Metro Parks in this community event.
