The Future Fund Land Trust is donating land to Metro Louisville and Broad Run Park within The Parklands of Floyds Fork to become a splash and spray ground. This newest attraction will be a central focal point of Broad Run Park which is slated to be open in April of 2016. The playground will be the center most point of the 600 acres of Broad Run Park. The park is located off of Bardstown Road which is the southern most point of The Parklands. The attraction will be named the Cliffside Playground and Sprayground.
“We are delighted to partner with the Parklands and the City of Louisville,” stated Steve Henry, President and Founder of the Future Fund Land Trust which currently owns over 2000 acres of The Parklands. “Donating this land will help complete the fourth and final phase of The Parklands.”

Steve Henry, President of Future Fund, provides testimony against the development of a new JCPS School on Echo Trail near Floyds Fork.
JCPS is proposing a new location for a new school within the designated DRO set forth more than 25 years ago by Jefferson County as a way to protect FLoyds Fork. The new location raises many issues including the environmental impact the school will have on the surrounding area including the creek. Neighbors and activists groups came out at the most recent school board meeting to object to the proposal with hopes that JCPS can find a new more accommodating location.
