Culturally relevant, Park Duvalle renews itself for a new generation
A historic area with deep cultural roots, Park DuValle has developed into a mixed-use neighborhood heavy with industry, while offering opportunities for residents to grow and develop. Originally part of Louisville’s “Little Africa,” Park Duvalle faced urban renewal, and was rechristened in honor of Lucie DuValle, Louisville's first female high school principal. An active community organization, the Park DuValle Property Owners Association, along with the Park DuValle Neighborhood Advisory Council, are a strong combined force that work together to guide Park Duvalle forward while being respectful of the past generations that have called the neighborhood home.

Southwick Community Center offers vital programs and resources for the youth and elderly.
Giving the community a center to build around
For Park Duvalle, Southwick Community Center has become a hub of residents' lives – Albert Brown, Center Supervisor, says, “We offer programs from ages six through seniors… sports like flag football and soccer, senior programming like senior crochet classes.” Providing the neighborhood a safe place to come together is a primary need for a changing community. Brown says the community center is working to change with the times too - “We’re in the process of trying to get an e-sports room so the youth can come in and play with the game systems... Adults will come in and utilize the computer lab, we’re upgrading the computer lab right now.”

Louisville Muhammed Ali International Airport sits roughly 8 miles from the neighborhood, often reachable in under 15 minutes. - University of Louisville Hospital Emergency Room and Norton Hospital are both within 5 miles, and usually take around 15 minutes to reach from Park Duvalle.

Limited dining and shopping without travel
Leaning heavily into industry and residential, folks who live in Park Duvalle generally need to travel outside of the area for food. Corner convenience stores and fast-food franchises provide bare necessities, although a Kroger and a Save-a-Lot are both within 3 miles of the neighborhood. The Community Center helps to provide a landing net, as Brown points out - “We have the Kid’s Café program through Dare to Care, so the kids get a hot meal every day Monday through Thursday.” A Dollar General provides a stop for general needs, but most major retailers are located miles away.
