Waterfront Park is Louisville’s front lawn— a place to gather, play, learn, and connect with the river. As a nonprofit public park, we rely on generous supporters like you to keep the park vibrant, inclusive, and well-maintained for generations to come.

There are many meaningful ways to support the park you love:

Membership  

Become a member and join a community of park champions. Your membership helps sustain daily operations and supports free public programming. Members receive exclusive updates and invitations to special events.

Tribute Gifts 

Celebrate someone special with a lasting tribute — a bench, swing, or tree that adds beauty and meaning to the park. Tribute gifts are a heartfelt way to honor loved ones while enhancing the park’s landscape.

Legacy Giving   

Leave a legacy that reflects your values. A gift in your will or trust (a bequest) can be made for a specific amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder after other obligations. You can give cash, property, securities, insurance policies, or retirement assets.

Sponsorships  

Partner with us to sponsor events, educational programs like PlayPort, or park features. Sponsorships offer high visibility and demonstrate your commitment to community enrichment.

Volunteer

Volunteers are essential to our mission. Whether you’re helping with events, beautification, or educational programming, your time and talents make a difference.
