"Louisville City FC is a tremendous partner. We couldn't have gotten this far on this project without them," said Brooke Pardue, Louisville Parks Foundation CEO. "When they said they are invested in the community, they mean it!"

The LouCity runners include Club President Brad Estes, Coach John Hackworth and Community Relations Director Mario Sanchez, in addition to other park and soccer enthusiasts, all of whom are competing to be declared the "Winner for Wyandotte."

In 2018, the Louisville Parks Foundation (LPF) and LouCity FC committed to raising funds to install a total of five artificial turf soccer fields in three South Louisville parks. These will mark the first set of turf fields in Louisville's public parks system.

Since June 2018, a 5-a-side field at Beechmont Community Center and a larger (125' x 225') field in William Harrison Park have been completed. Wyandotte Park is scheduled to receive three (3) 5-a-side soccer fields that will be open to the public in Fall 2019.

"When we were kicking around ideas on how to raise funds for the soccer field project, we figured a little competition between staff would be fun," said Mario Sanchez, LouCity FC Director of Youth Development and Community Outreach. "We are already hosting soccer clinics at the two new fields and I see people from all over the city coming out to play soccer. This is what it's all about. Having fields that are accessible to the public and encourage fun and exercise."
