ENVIRONMENT The Parklands’ team preserves and enhances each and every corner of our nearly 4,000-acre park,
and we’re able to do so thanks to your support. Through restored meadows and reforested areas, we have provided a fully-connected
forest corridor to protect a variety of native wildlife and plant species so that they may thrive. We have seen the positive effects of
these efforts through the return of the American Bald Eagle, Bobwhite Quail, the Virginia Rail and the Sora, among others.

EDUCATION Thanks to your support, The Outdoor Classroom is Louisville’s newest outdoor STEM-based education
program, enhancing scientific literacy throughout the greater Louisville community. The Outdoor Classroom has delivered
more than 75,000 outdoor education experiences to children and adults since 2013.
The hands-on, outdoor learning experiences offered by The Parklands Education team, from week-long summer camps to
weekly pre-k Wednesday Wonders programs, lead to a deeper understanding of our Kentucky landscape and the creatures that
live within it. These experiences foster a community of environmental stewards. Generous grants, thanks to you, made field trip
programming accessible to Title I schools and nonprofit programs.

COMMUNITY Part of what makes The Parklands a special place is the sense of community it creates. With
visitation numbers reaching 5,500,000 since the beginning of 2017, frequent visitors are inspired to give their time and
treasure to help preserve, not only the parks, but also the welcoming environment created by the staff who maintain them. In
addition, funds raised from individual and corporate facility rentals go directly back into supporting our annual operations.
From individuals who donate gifts by becoming a Parklands Member, to our volunteers who invest hours each week to keep our
parks clean and beautiful, these generous people, companies and foundations believe in our mission and play a critical role in
preserving The Parklands for current and future generations.

NEW AMENITIES With an abundance of park visits comes strategic planning, analyzing growth and
improving the visitor experience through new construction projects in The Parklands. Construction projects in 2018 reflect on
the growing visitation of 5,500,000 visits since the beginning of 2017. Thanks to you, these newly opened amenities have created
a greater range of accessibility throughout the park-system.
“Truly the jewel of the city. There are so many special features to this gorgeous location. The trails are well maintained
for walkers, runners or bikers. The streams and ponds are perfectly showcased for beauty and usability. It’s heartwarming

The entire stone bridge was completed in

SUSTAINING A LEGACY Construction of The Parklands was made possible through community
contributions that totaled nearly $130 million. Now that construction is complete, your support helps protect and maintain
that investment on an annual basis through The Parklands Fund, our annual campaign. We thank you for committing
to supporting and maintaining this beautiful community asset, and hope you are as proud as we are of what we have
accomplished together. Because we receive no tax revenue for annual operations, our funding model relies on three main
sources: your donations, earned income from facility rentals and programming fees, and support from the 21st Century
Parks Endowment. Together, these sources ensure a sustainable future for The Parklands.
