ball fields for more informal use.
2016 Status
• The LMPRD manages 70 ball fields. (33 baseball and 37 softball.)
• This number does not reflect the number of ball fields on private property and used for
private groups such as churches and youth groups (e.g., Beechmont and Germantown).
• See Figure A.5 in Appendix A for distribution.
Volleyball
1995 Provision
• The LMPRD managed 24 volleyball courts.
• Three volleyball 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).
• At least nine quasi-public courts (seven at
church and two at YMCA facilities) were maintained by
private organizations.
• A number of courts were maintained by private
businesses.
Volleyball at
Cyril Allgeier Community Center
1995 Distribution
• Of the 24 LMPRD volleyball courts, 15 were
located within Service Area A (Urban Services Boundary
and former city of Louisville), with the largest
concentration downtown.
• The remaining service areas had very few
LMPRD volleyball courts, ranging from four in Service
Area C to zero for Service Areas B and E.
Recommended Standard
• One volleyball court per 15,000 population.
Estimated 1995 Deficiency
• Twenty-one additional courts under LMPRD jurisdiction would be required to provide a
total of 45 volleyball courts in accordance with the recommended standard. This
deficiency does not take into account facilities managed by other providers (e.g.,
churches).
