Please join us this Thursday for a City Park Social at Alberta O. Jones Park! 🗓️ Thursday, July 18 ⏱️ 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM 📍Alberta O. Jones Park: 744 S 23rd St CNU MIDWEST, in partnership with the Parks Alliance of Louisville, invites you to join us for a City Park Social. Our mutual belief that our physical environment has a direct impact on our chances for happy, prosperous lives, the City Park Social will be hosted at the new Alberta O. Jones Park in the California Neighborhood of West Louisville. After decades of neglect, the Parks Alliance, along with many local partners, has transformed the first 5 acres of a 20-acre urban greenspace. The City Park Social is an opportunity for urban designers, architects, planners, developers, and engineers to convene for a happy hour and learn first-hand from project partners all that went into phase I (playground, pollinator garden, rainwater basin) and the plans for phase II (urban ag farm, stormwater management, nature play). One project at a time, public and private sectors are partnering in West Louisville to create healthy places for people and businesses to thrive and prosper. Join us to learn more about the Alberta O. Jones Park project! RSVP: https://lnkd.in/g7r5Z8PV

🧡 Join us in solidarity by wearing orange on Saturday, June 1st! 🧡 Louisville Moms Demand Action is partnering with the Parks Alliance of Louisville and the Office of Safe and Healthy Neighborhoods for a meaningful event at Ballard Park. We're commemorating the park's renovation, which includes a Healing Garden for survivors of gun violence. This is more than just a renovation—it's a symbol of healing and resilience. We'll hear powerful stories from survivors and local leaders, and discuss plans for the park's future. But our mission extends beyond one park. Gun violence disproportionately affects Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. To truly address this issue, we need everyone on board, which is why we're committed to building a diverse and inclusive movement. Your participation matters. Wear orange, stand with us, and let's work towards a safer, more equitable future for all. RSVP today: https://lnkd.in/gBVP2iBt
