C. Plan Components
The 1995 Master Plan recommended a program for acquisition and improvement of
open spaces, parks, and recreational facilities to be added to the existing parks system by the
year 2020. The 1995 recommendations for parkland acquisition are identified on the “2020
Parks and Open Space Concept Plan” map (see Figure V.C.1), which shows the acreages of
various types of parkland which were proposed to be added to the seven park planning service
areas described in Chapter III. See section C3 below entitled “Parkland” for a discussion of
proposed parkland acquisition. Section C4 below discusses the recreational facilities which were
proposed to be added to the park system. The Concept Plan also indicates the general alignment
of the proposed County Loop Trail (now known as the Louisville Loop), which is discussed below
under Section C2. Sections C1 and C2 describe the open space and greenways structures which
were intended to form the structural backbone of the future parks and open space system. An
indication of the general geographic pattern of this open space structure is shown on Figure
V.C.2.
