TurfMutt Great Lawn South 
231 Witherspoon Street, Louisville, KY 40202

Volunteers are encouraged to wear long pants, sturdy closed-toe shoes or rubber boots, waterproof gloves (if available) and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. This is an opportunity to give back, meet other community members, and take pride in keeping Waterfront Park a beautiful, safe space for all.
