Louisville Parks and Recreation’s Natural Areas division invites community members from Southwest Louisville to participate in the creation of a conceptual master plan for the Mill Creek Greenway. This exciting project will transform about eight miles of Mill Creek and adjacent publicly-owned land between Sylvania Park in PRP and the power plant south of Valley Station. Thanks to a grant from The Nature Conservancy, landscape architects/planners will work with residents and other stakeholders on a plan to bring this waterway to life. The result will be a roadmap for a new public greenway for outdoor recreation. Given its scope, the project has the potential to be one of the nation’s largest urban stream mitigation efforts.
If you live in Southwest Louisville and would like to get involved, please click here and fill out the interest form found above the resources section. Or visit our table at the District Dialogue on Tuesday, April 23 at 6:00pm at the Southwest Government Center.

The Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) is donating $200,000 to purchase school supplies, including backpacks, folders, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons and rulers, that will be given out at seven back-to-school events planned for late July and early August by Neighborhood Place and numerous community partners.
The funding was made possible by a special allocation of federal Community Services Block Grant (CSBG)-CARES funding, which RCS received to expand services and programming for families financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additional supplies, funding and other types of support for the family friendly events are being provided by area businesses, churches, schools and individual donors.
