The Louisville Metro Council announced it would close public pools and cut the city budget to address an impending budget shortfall. Those cuts could affect public safety, health, and recreational opportunities offered through Louisville's park system.

WFPL's Rick Howlett talked with park representatives about the obstacles they face, and expectations going forward. The guests were:

• Louisville Parks and Recreation Parks Administrator Bennett Knox
• Louisville Parks and Recreation Assistant Director Ben Johnson
