RECREATION The Parklands of Floyds Fork is an important community resource. Now, more than ever,
Recreation & Health people need outdoor recreation opportunities to keep our community healthy, both physically and mentally. Amidst the
uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals and families are turning to parks as a place of solace and connection
ON THE MOVE with the outdoors. While practicing physical distancing, people are enjoying the trails, green space and natural areas
throughout our expansive 4,000-acre park system, reinforcing its importance to the community. Despite our early decision
to close densely used facilities as a safety measure, The Parklands had a record-breaking year, with 3.8 million visits in 2020,
proving just how important this public treasure is to the community.
• 3.8 MILLION visits in 2020 • 80+ miles of trails for hiking, biking, and paddling
• 3,683 paddling rentals in 2020 by Blue • 485 bike rentals in 2020 by Blue Moon Canoe & VIRTUAL HIKES

our first amenity–the Marshall Playground &
Sprayground–in 2011. Even with the popular
playground and sprayground closed in 2020, a new
visitation record was set. Parks play a critical role in
everyday life, and will continue to do so long after
the pandemic has passed.
“The Parklands has provided us a beautiful
and stress free area that is rejuvenating. The
community of nature-loving folks, children and
pets are friendly and refreshing to see. We show
The Parklands to all of our friends and out of
town guests. What a wonderful area to feed our
soul and enjoy natural beauty.”
- Patty Burks, Parklands’ Member
HEALTH Health benefits provided by parks go beyond those experienced due to increased physical activity. Evidence
from a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Health Research in 2019 showed that as little as 20
minutes spent in nature improved participants’ subjective well-being (the appraisal of one’s own level of happiness and life
satisfaction). If each of those 3.8 million visits equates to 20 minutes or more spent in The Parklands, that’s 3.8 million
improved outlooks, which, for many, were a little more difficult to produce during the past year. Throughout the pandemic,
an adequate amount of space–6 feet to be exact–became paramount to keeping us healthy and safe from contracting an
unfamiliar virus. The nearly 4,000 acres that make up our park system provided ample room for visitors to hike, run,
rollerblade, skateboard, explore, learn, escape and recharge while maintaining a safe distance from others. Some even set up
regular, socially-distanced picnics, hikes and play dates to maintain a connection with loved ones.

EDUCATION Educators across the Commonwealth and country pivoted to online curriculum in the spring to
safely serve students. The Parklands’ education team didn’t miss a beat, offering a virtual version of Wednesday Wonders during

NATURE PRESERVED Classroom, providing free educational resources to students, teachers and families during remote learning. Virtual field trips
and online worksheets encouraged students to get outside to learn and explore in The Parklands, a nearby park, or even in
their own backyard. Throughout the year, our educators churned out content to engage visitors of all ages, both inside and
outside the park, including scavenger hunts, contests and fun facts along the Louisville Loop.

ENVIRONMENT The 100 Year Vision—The Parklands’ habitat restoration plan—focuses on the often overlooked,
but equally important natural areas component of our master plan. This vision aims to improve and expand meadows, wetlands
and forests throughout The Parklands of Floyds Fork, showing off the rich biodiversity of our region. The 80+ parcels acquired
to make up what is now The Parklands, were mostly, at one point, used for agricultural purposes. Guided by The Parklands
natural areas and horticulture staff, with support from area vendors, parcels once overrun with weeds are now transitioning
into established meadows; riparian corridors are strengthened by tree plantings; wetlands are thriving and becoming a welcome
stopover for migrating species, as well as home to local wildlife. Managing the various habitats requires ongoing care, including
plantings, prunings and the removal of invasive species, which is all made possible thanks to donations to our annual fund.

COMMUNITY Many 2020 events in the park were canceled, but others reimagined and reworked their vision
to move forward. Couples opted to downsize to a “micro-wedding” versus rescheduling, and businesses worked with The
Parklands’ events team to create a safe, outdoor workspace for their associates. Larger events, like the Creature Feature Movie
Nights and Winter Illuminations Trail Walk, implemented rules and protocols to provide fun and safe activities for the
community. With nearly 4,000 acres of parkland to utilize, event hosts found ways to engage participants and visitors found
ways to meaningfully connect.
• 47 weddings & receptions hosted in 2020 • 86 public programs delivered by Parklands staff in 2020

SUSTAINING A LEGACY Construction of The Parklands was made possible through community
contributions that totaled nearly $130 million. Now that construction is complete, your support helps protect and maintain
that investment on an annual basis through The Parklands Fund, our annual campaign. We thank you for committing
to supporting and maintaining this beautiful community asset, and hope you are as proud as we are of what we have
accomplished together. Because we receive no tax revenue for annual operations, our funding model relies on three main
sources: your donations, earned income from facility rentals and programming fees, and support from the 21st Century
Parks Endowment. Together, these sources ensure a sustainable future for The Parklands.
