With COVID-19 positivity rates declining and more people getting vaccinated, Mayor Greg Fischer announced today that Louisville Parks and Recreation will re-open 11 of its community centers starting Monday, March 29.
Following Gov. Andy Beshear’s guidelines and in consultation with Louisville Metro Public Health and Wellness, the centers will be open next week from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. Starting the following week (beginning April 5), the centers will be open from noon to 9 p.m., Monday through Thursday and from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Fridays. There will be a two-hour break, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. each day, at each center for cleaning and disinfecting.
Reopening protocols include mandatory mask wearing, temperature taking and capacity limits for each center.
“We know people have really missed the community centers and we are thrilled to get them open this week, as our schoolchildren begin Spring Break,” Mayor Fischer said, adding that the centers will continue their tradition of providing quality programming and activities – while keeping safety as their main priority.
Four centers, Shawnee, Douglass, the Metro Arts Center and the Wilderness Road Senior Center, will not reopen next week, but are expected to open their doors during a second reopening phase later this spring.
The centers have been closed since mid-March 2020 due to COVID-19. During the closure, recreation staff have been hard at work fulfilling other duties, including work at the city’s 120 municipally owned parks, which have seen a drastic increase in usage and visitation. Community Center visitors will also see some dramatic improvements at the facilities, including major indoor and outdoor painting and restoration projects thanks to the great work of the recreation staff.
“Some of the centers look almost brand new,” said Ben Johnson, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation. “Our team is excited to show our guests the improvements that have been made.”
Parks officials recommend calling each center before visiting, due to the capacity limits. For the full list of COVID-safe protocols at the Louisville Parks and Recreation community centers, visit bestparksever.com.
