OPEN SPACE MISSION: To conserve and restore Open Space through land acquisition and management for the protection of natural and cultural resources and provide opportunities for education, volunteering and appropriate passive recreation. OPEN SPACE VISION: An Open Space program funded for future generations that enriches the experience of living in Louisville by providing opportunities for citizens to reconnect with nature and their cultural heritage while also enhancing their mental and physical well-being. The City owns or has an interest in 2,000 acres of open lands that serve a wide variety of values, including recreation, biodiversity conservation, and agricultural production. These lands provide visual buffers between local municipalities and support many species of wildlife and diverse plant communities. The City's trail system meanders through some of these open space parcels, such as Davidson Mesa, Coyote Run, Lake Park, and the Leon A. Wurl Wildlife Sanctuary.
