Stansbury Park: the history and the future
You have probably driven right by Stansbury Park on the way to the Speed Museum …
This neighborhood park was originally known as Third Street Triangle. In 1985, the name was changed to honor the memory of deceased former Louisville Mayor William B. Stansbury. The park is one of two Olmsted designed parks that have been adjacent to the University of Louisville campus. The other park, Churchill Park, was lost to development in 2018.
Through collaboration and communicating about program and project needs, Friends of Olmsted Parks will help us improve and activate our parks, creating a positive community impact.
