The Louisville Tennis Center needs some love, and thankfully some plans were released that get us closer to having a world-class tennis (and pickleball) facility right in one of our best parks. Joe Creason is a hidden gem in a city of great parks and with this new development, more people will get to experience how neat of a place it is. 

However, this proposal as it stands includes 330 parking spaces. While some of the parking would be built on top of existing parking space, a proposed 128 spaces would be built over a meadow and require removal of trees. Additionally, this meadow is part of the course of a free 5K run/walk enjoyed by 40-50 people every week. This is completely unnecessary!

This is an exciting opportunity for our city to have a world-class tennis venue and generate dollars for the local economy. But we have to stand against all of the additional parking, especially with so much just across the street at the zoo. We can have nice things in Louisville. Let's do this together!
