Time 7:00 pm
Place: Historic Locust Grove Pavilion located at 561 Blankenbaker Lane
Councilman Reed is bringing Louisville Metro Government to you.
Please join him and his invited guests which include Anchorage Middletown Fire & EMS, LMPD 5th and 8 Divisions, Louisville Metro Planning and Design, Louisville Metro Public Works Department, Louisville Metro Parks Department, MSD, Louisville Water Company, and LG & E.
We hope to see you September 9th!
 Greetings,
I am proud to report that Metro Parks is making great progress at Hays Kennedy Park. We are hopeful that we will be able to host a ribbon cutting ceremony in the near future.
Last year I secured $300,000 in the FY2024 Budget to improve Hays Kennedy Park’s tennis and basketball courts. In partnership with Metro Parks, we have provided a much-needed resurfacing to the tennis courts, basketball courts, while providing new pickleball courts.
In this year’s FY2025 budget, I secured an additional $70,000 with the goal of improving the parking lots. I look forward to securing more funds for needed improvements to the park in future budget cycles.
Improving your safety and fixing our infrastructure has been my primary focus. With more than 30 million allocated towards paving and fully funding our police and other emergency services, I worked to bring investments like this to our parks.
As a result, we will be seeing improvements not only at Hays Kennedy Park but also at Locust Grove, Thurman Hutchins Park and Cox Park. Most of these projects will address needs such as restroom rehabilitation or leaking roofs, but each will help to make our community a better place to live and play.
Sincerely,
Scott Reed
 
There are approximately 100 boards and commissions with many areas of interest, including business and economic development, land planning, parks and recreation, public health and public safety.
If you are interested in volunteering for one of Louisville Metro Government's Boards and Commissions, now is the time to start. By being a part of a board or commission, you will offer your time and your talents to improve the quality of life in our community.

 Waterfront Park Phase IV is the 22-acre westward expansion of the park between 10th and 14th streets along the river. Once completed, this $50 million project will transform a long-neglected area of our waterfront into a vibrant community amenity and bring Waterfront Park’s world class amenities within a 20-minute walk of more than 10,000 residents. Phase IV is a vital component of Waterfront Park’s mission to transform our waterfront into an accessible community asset that can be enjoyed by the community forever.
Construction is underway on PlayPort at Waterfront Park, a children’s area designed in partnership with Kentucky Science Center. PlayPort will feature large-scale authentic objects – including an excavator, dump truck, boats, river-themed elements, and more – as anchors for an inspired play and learning environment. Construction of PlayPort is expected to be completed by the end of 2024.
