 Berrytown Park is located at 1300 Heafer Road.
The new Berrytown Park playground is here! As you can see, it includes slides, several different types of swings, climbing structures, and much more. The playground is adjacent to the new basketball court and can be accessed by the walking path where we filled in some open sections last year. The park really does have something for most everyone. I hope you'll get a chance to check it out!
Each week, the Metro Office of Planning creates a report listing all new land use applications in Jefferson County. These can include requests for changes in zoning, conditional use permits, variances, landscape plans, and more. There is one new application regarding property located in District 17, a conditional use permit to allow a short-term rental in a non-primary residence at 11002 Craigs Creek Place. Please contact the case manager at ethan.lett@louisvilleky.gov with any questions or comments.
The August Pop-Up Drop-Off is tomorrow from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Metro Fleet Services, 3515 Newburg Road. This would be a great opportunity to properly dispose of things like large household items, electronics, prescription medications, personal documents, and more.

I mentioned early last month that the Louisville Bats were offering District 17 residents the opportunity to catch a ball game for free on Wednesday, September 4. That voucher includes a ticket to the game, a hot dog, and a small soft drink. As of late last week, our district still had more than 230 vouchers left. Individuals interested in attending the game should fill out this form, while groups wanting 20 or more vouchers should use this one. Each district's allotment is monitored closely, so register soon if you're interested!
The Labor Day Hike, Bike, and Paddle returns Monday, September 2 to the Waterfront Park Great Lawn. The program starts around 8 a.m. with music and free fitness activities such as Tai Chi, yoga, and Zumba. In addition, free t-shirts will be available to the first 2,000 attendees. The hike, bike, and paddle events begin at 10 a.m. You can find routes/distances for those activities and more general information on the event here.
Do you know someone between the ages of 13 and 19 who excels in poetry? If so, they may have an opportunity to become Kentuckiana's first youth poet laureate. Those interested should submit five poems (along with a civic brag sheet) for consideration by September 1, 2024. The competition is open only to those who live in Jefferson, Bullitt, Oldham, Hardin, and Floyd (IN) Counties. The winner will represent Kentuckiana at speaking engagements until the 2025 competition. Click here for more information.
