Louisville Parks and Recreation has announced the hiring of a second full-time park ranger.
Ron Charles, a retired Louisville Metro Police detective, brings 20 years of law enforcement experience to the role.
This addition marks the first expansion of the program since the chief ranger was hired a year ago to establish and lead it.
“Investing in the safety and experience of our parks is a top priority, and adding another full-time park ranger is an important step in that effort,” said Mayor Greenberg Monday in a news release. “Ron brings decades of experience in public safety, and his presence in our parks will help ensure these spaces remain welcoming, safe and enjoyable for everyone.”
In his new position, Charles will spend most of his time in the parks, conducting patrols and responding to safety concerns as they arise.
His responsibilities will focus on interacting with visitors and maintaining a visible, approachable presence throughout the park system.
