Projected 2020 Deficiency
• Twenty-four additional courts under LMPRD jurisdiction (the 1995 deficiency of 21 plus
three more) would be required to provide a total of 48 volleyball courts in accordance
with the recommended standard. This deficiency does not take into account facilities
managed by other providers.
1995 Recommended Actions
• In 1995 there appeared to be little evident pressure in the community for an increase in
the number of public volleyball courts as much of the demand was being met by other
public, quasi-public, or private providers. However, interest in volleyball was increasing,
and it was anticipated that demand for public courts may increase in the future. Thus it
was recommended that the LMPRD monitor community use levels to determine if
construction of new public courts to meet the recommended standards became
warranted, or whether the demand was being effectively met through the private
sector.
• It was anticipated that some new public courts would be built within new parks in areas
of Louisville which experienced new residential development.
2016 Status
• The LMPRD manages 18 volleyball courts.
• This number does not include any private volleyball facilities such as are provided by
some churches and private groups.
• See Figure A.6 in Appendix A for distribution.
Soccer
1995 Provision
• The LMPRD managed 44 soccer fields.
• Nine soccer fields were located at public park and open space areas not under the
jurisdiction of the LMPRD.
• Twenty-five soccer fields at Jefferson County Public Schools were open to the public at
any time (13) or open to the public on a limited basis (12).
1995 Distribution
• In 1995 soccer fields under the jurisdiction of the LMPRD were mostly located in central
and eastern Louisville (Service Areas A, B, C, and D). The greatest number of LMPRD
soccer fields (13) were located in Service Area C while Areas A, B, and D had seven
soccer fields under LMPRD jurisdiction.
• The south central and western portions of Louisville (Service Areas E, F, and G) had
relatively few cover fields under LMPRD jurisdiction (three to four in each area).
