• The LMPRD maintained 210 tennis courts, including 13 located at various Jefferson
County Public Schools.
• Twenty-four courts were located at public park and open space areas not under the
jurisdiction of the LMPRD.
• Three tennis courts at Jefferson County
Public Schools were open to the public at any
time (two) or open to the public on a limited
basis (one).

study that private racquet and golf clubs
maintained 88 outdoor courts and 49 indoor

1995 Distribution
• Service Areas A, C, E, and G (generally
central Louisville ) had most of the tennis courts
under LMPRD jurisdiction. Service Area A had
the largest number of tennis courts (91) and the
most extensive distribution. Courts in Service
Areas C, E, and G tended to occur in clusters,
resulting in pockets within each service area that
were not well served.
• Service Areas B, D, and F had the fewest
number of tennis courts under LMPRD
jurisdiction.
Recommended Standard
• One tennis court per 4,000 population.
Estimated 1995 Deficiency
• There was no deficiency as 210 courts (the 1995 number under LMPRD jurisdiction)
provide more than the number of courts (169) required to serve the 1995 population
according to the recommended standard.
Projected 2020 Deficiency
• There was no projected deficiency as 210 courts (the 1995 number under LMPRD
jurisdiction) provided more than the number of courts (183) required to serve the 2020
population according to the recommended standard.
