Olmsted Parks Conservancy's mission is to restore, enhance and preserve one of Louisville’s most valued treasures, the historic Olmsted Parks and Parkways.
Louisville's park system is the last designed by Frederick Law Olmsted, the "Father of American Landscape Architecture", and one of only five such systems across the country. Known nationally as the defining park system of his career, it stands today as one of his best-preserved works, reflecting the genius of Olmsted's vision.
For Louisvillians, these parks are inexorably tied to our identity. Help keep these treasures for future generations. For more information, visit wwww.olmstedparks.org
