Fred's Facts
Although captivated throughout his career by large, rural parks, during his later years Frederick Law Olmsted became intrigued by the social possibilities created by small urban spaces. Small neighborhood parks, playgrounds and squares might provide opportunities for respite from the congestion and noise of urban life.
Visionary Circle
The Frederick Law Olmsted Parks are a magnificent work of art that must be preserved. Olmsted Parks Conservancy seeks visionary community partners (honors individuals, corporations, and foundations) to become leaders and help preserve Louisville’s historic park system by making an annual donation of $10,000 to support the organization’s efforts to restore, enhance and preserve the parks and parkways.
Members of the Frederick Law Olmsted Visionary Circle will be recognized throughout the community as individuals, corporations, or foundations that are making a commitment to the longevity and legacy of the Frederick Law Olmsted Parks.
A gift of $10,000 will do so many important things…..it will support Olmsted Parks Conservancy’s general operations, but in real terms it may pay for the following:
- The planting of canopy understory trees in the parks
- The refurbishing of park structures
- The rebuilding of trails
- A portion of a large capital project in a park, such as the restoration of a large historic pavilion
