LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- City leaders want to know if residents in the Portland neighborhood would be interested in an outdoor skating space at Lannan Park.Â
Mayor Craig Greenberg announced Thursday that Louisville Parks and Recreation has released a new community survey that could help shape the future of the park located at 901 N. 26th Street.
It contains questions about how frequently residents visit the park and use the tennis courts in order to gauge interest in converting the tennis courts into an outdoor roller skating space.
"My administration has prioritized parks as vital public spaces, and we've made major investments in improving and activating them," Greenberg said in a news release. "This survey gives residents a voice in what's next for Lannan Park, and how we can continue to build fun, inclusive, and engaging spaces for the community."
Officials believe now is a good time to capitalize on the "growing momentum for rolling skating in the area," based on the response from residents when several pop-up roller-skating events were previously held on the existing tennis courts at Lannan and Shawnee Parks.
"We’ve seen firsthand how roller-skating brings joy and connection to people of all ages," said Michelle King, executive director of Louisville Parks and Recreation.
Everyone is welcome to take the survey, which can be accessed here, or by scanning the QR codes now posted on signs at the park. The survey will remain open through Aug. 21.
The responses will be help guide planning and potential changes to the park's attractions.Â
