Frequent, severe flooding events have
eroded the Chickasaw Park riverbanks
and created hazardous conditions that
threaten the park's infrastructure.

Local agencies, such as Louisville Parks and Louisville MSD,
must work collaboratively over a
sustained period with residents and
other community stakeholders to
address historic community issues.
Only then will we create neighborhood-level opportunities for families to safely explore nature within
parks along the Ohio River.

Establishing Meaningful
Partnerships
The support from NRPA's Great
Urban Parks Campaign (GUPC)
helps activate a meaningful partnership with Louisville MSD, which
manages the city's stormwater,
wastewater and flood protection
services, monitors the health of its
waterways through an expansive
stream monitoring network and
improves the community's water
resources. Louisville MSD works to
achieve a vision of safe, clean waterways in Louisville Metro. Louisville

Parks and Louisville MSD work
collaboratively, designing enhancements within Chickasaw Park that
will improve water quality, habitat
and ecological function. Through
robust community involvement, including engagement of residents in
decision making, this project will
improve public accessibility to a
valuable urban water resource and
historic Frederick Law Olmsteddesigned park.
With input from the project's
neighborhood council, Louisville
Parks will identify the level of
sediment contamination within
the pond footprint and Louisville
MSD's design team will create engineering and design documentation for a reconfigured pond. Restoration of the pond will eliminate
low-level contamination that classifies it as an impaired waterbody
that's included on Kentucky Division of Water's Clean Water Act
Section 303d list. While reconstruction of the pond is currently
not funded, the GUPC grant will
move us closer to reactivating
Chickasaw Pond for safe community use, including fishing, canoeing instruction and environmental
education.
The current project will implement
green infrastructure improvements
to remediate stormwater drainage
at the pond's western end. This discharge will pass through a series of
bioswales, and step pools will be
sized to treat stormwater discharge
from the full project site. Once pond
reconstruction is complete, stormwater from the watershed will be disconnected from the combined sewer
system. Young adults participating
in Louisville ECHO's summer job
component will assist in installation
and further improve stormwater in-
