From a report presented in 1887:

If Louisville is indeed entering upon an era of great prosperity, we must learn to pull together and help each other more than has been our habit in the past. We will have to put Louisville abreast of her sister cities in respect to energetic action and vigorous self assertion. We must have not only employment for all who will make their houses among us, and furnish educational advantages of the best character, by maintaining the public schools, but we must also provide for the recreational and health of the people. Public parks for the recreation, health, and benefit of the public and free to all forever are recognized as imperative necessities wherever large bodies of people have come together for permanent residence.
