City parks are powerful tools that strengthen the fabric of urban communities, positively impact health and the environment, and create an opportunity for diverse resident engagement and connection. As Louisville responds to the public health crises of racial injustice and COVID-19, parks and greenspaces must be considered vital civic infrastructure in long-term recovery efforts to foster a more resilient city for ALL Louisvillians.​Initiatives like Parks for All provide an opportunity to address longstanding inequities in the public and private funding of our community greenspaces. The Parks Alliance of Louisville is committed to the development of an equitable and transparent investment plan for the Louisville Parks and Recreation system.

The Waterfront Botanical Gardens was started by Botanica, an umbrella organization for the local gardening community that was started in 1993 to help enlighten, entertain, and educate the community about the botanical world. In 2001, Botanica learned that it was the beneficiary of a trust established by member Helen Harrigan, a local gardener with a desire to see a botanical garden and conservatory built in Louisville. Helen’s gift reshaped the focus of our organization, and we set about our work to create what will become Louisville’s Waterfront Botanical Gardens.
