In case you missed it, LOUMED Commons will soon be Derby City's newest park.

The nearly one-acre green space will be located at 316 E. Chestnut St. on the site of the soon-to-be-demolished jail building, which has been vacant since May 2020. It'll be at the heart of the planned LOUMED — aka Louisville Medical and Education — District.

The new green space will include amenities like:

A dedicated area for food trucks
A pavilion structure that will be used to host events
Public art installations showcasing local talent

Demolition of the jail building is expected by the end of this year. That will pave the way for the first phase of the project, which will be complete by late 2025. The project is being supported by $1.4 million in public funding.
