The
Jeffersonville Parks and Recreation Department operates under
the authority granted by Indiana Codes
36-10-2 and
36-10-3. In 2008, the Jeffersonville City
Council approved ordinance
2008-OR-004, which established City Council members as the Parks
Authority, the department's governing body.
The
Jeffersonville Parks and Recreation Department owns a total of
27 facilities.
Programming ranges from senior citizens
activities at the Ken Ellis Center, youth activities and adult
basketball and volleyball at Nachand Fieldhouse, summer and fall
softball at Colston Park, music and theatrical performances at
RiverStage and Concerts in the Park (hosted in conjunction with
Jeffersonville Main Street Inc.) at Warder Park.
On April 24, 2009, the
Indiana Department of Natural Resources sent the
Jeffersonville Parks and Recreation Department a
letter confirming the acceptance of the department's
Five-Year Master Plan, good through January 15, 2014. The plan
intended to cover the years 2007-2011, but was extended by DNR,
based on the late approval. Having an approved plan makes the
department eligible to receive
Land and Water Conservation Funds from the
National Park Service. Nikki Dillon, Aquatics
