Yesterday was National Girls and Women in Sports Day and we just want to reaffirm our commitment to providing athletic opportunities to all of the aspiring female athletes in and around Jessamine County!

Last year, we hosted over 350 female youth athletes in our programs and in 2026 we're looking to significantly increase that number.

It takes a village, or an intentional community, to encourage girls to get and stay in sports. Here are some ways you can help us grow our female athlete population in Jessamine County:

- Volunteer to Coach: Representation is a major factor in retention; girls are more likely to stay in sports when they have female role models in leadership.

- Show Up as a Fan: Attend our local girls' games and events!

- Highlight Success Stories: Use Facebook or other social media platforms to celebrate our local female athletes, past and present.

We're currently enrolling for our Spring Girls Volleyball League and sign ups can be found here: https://njcpr.recdesk.com/Community/Program/Detail?programId=53

Community - we need your help!

Over the past year, we have had a number of significant vandalism incidents and illegal dumping in our parks, your parks!

The cost associated with the repair, replacement and staff hours from the vandalism significantly hinders our ability to improve our park spaces. We could have added more benches to our parks, improved our walking paths, increased accessibility, added playground amenities, added doggie waste stations, etc.

Please note if we are able to identify individuals, we will take the necessary action to hold them accountable. We are working closely with NPD. If you see something, please report it by calling the NPD non-emergency number at 859-859-885-9468 or Parks at 859-885-9787. If you know of anyone talking about committing these acts, please report it.

The following are just a coupe pictures demonstrating the vandalism and dumping across our park system. Thank you for your help.

Due to predicted inclement weather, we have decided to cancel all activities and programs for Parks and Recreation for the weekend (basketball, cheer and Pickleball).

Participant and staff safety is our priority.

All Youth Basketball & Cheer activities scheduled for Saturday & Sunday will be rescheduled to the following weekend (1/31-2/1), game times and location will remain the same. League tournaments will now begin on 2/7-2/8 and our Championship Day at East Jessamine High School is scheduled for February 28th.

Just a reminder that any day that school is called off next week, league practices will also be canceled.

Thank you for your understanding and stay safe this weekend!

Looking ahead to next week, we will follow City of Nicholasville and Jessamine County delays or closures and post updates as we go.
