Olmsted Parks Conservancy

Louisville’s Frederick Law Olmsted Parks are our health clubs and art studios, our outdoor classrooms, sports facilities and family retreats. They play a vital role in protecting the city’s health and well-being and they provide common ground for celebrating cultural diversity. The parks enhance Louisville’s quality of life.

The mission of Olmsted Parks Conservancy is to restore, enhance and forever protect Louisville’s Olmsted-designed parks and parkways, connecting nature and neighborhood while strengthening our community’s well-being.

Volunteer as a Park Champion!

Do it single-handedly, or get a group of friends together, but make the commitment today to help renew Louisville's unique Olmsted parks! Give one day a year or a few hours each week taking part in a Park Champion service project and do your part to strengthen and revitalize our community.

Don't have a green thumb or don't like to get dirty?
