Fork (Service Area D) show existing and future parkland deficiencies with the deficiency
particularly severe in the area directly west of Floyds Fork (Service Area C).
Using the recommended standard of 15 acres per 1,000 residents, Louisville was also
found to be deficient in regional parkland. The 1995 deficiency of 4,942 acres was projected to
increase to 5,780 acres in the year 2020 if no additional regional parkland is acquired.
