CHICKASAW NEIGHBORHOOD FEDERATION MEETING AT SHAWNEE BRANCH LIBRIARY
6PM-8PM
DATE'S TBD
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A project to reconstruct a pond at Chickasaw Park in west Louisville is now complete.
City officials and members of the community gathered at the park on Saturday with a celebratory canoe launch to mark the pond’s opening for recreational use.
Visitors who frequent the park now have the option of kayaking or fishing.
The 61-acre park has been open for 100 years and for many of them, it was the only city-run park open for Black Louisvillians.
"The way they have redone it, it's beautiful," Jeroy Hayden, a local resident, said. "It's totally different from the way it used to be."
After its restoration, it is the only standing body of water for recreational use in the west end.
“This park needs to feel like a park that you see in any other part of town. I can't imagine 100 years ago when this park was specifically designed for the use of as we were called, then, Negroes, or today, African Americans. I can't imagine that this is where we've come to in this park. And I want to say thank you for being inclusive of what this area needs, but not only what we need, but what we want,” Councilwoman Donna Purvis, D-5, said. Purvis played a large role is getting the budget passed in Louisville Metro Council.
All of the money for the project came from the American Rescue Plan fund, according to Katey Cook of Louisville Parks and Recreation.
