EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Purchase Area Connections for Health Coalition, formed in 201 A primarily in response to the
results of the needs assessments prepared by Baptist Health, Lourdes Hospital, and the Purchase
District Health Department, is proposing the development of the Fountain Gardens Outdoor
Health Park and implementation of the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) program
in five Paducah Schools. The Coalition has coined this program the Fountain. Gardens Get Fit
Youth Wellness program. The park and the proposed corresponding education initiatives outlined
in this proposal provide a unique and holistic approach to obesity prevention and illnesses that
result from obesity. The Park is designed to promote healthy living by providing physical fitness
infrastructure, professional office space/commercial space for health care providers, and
development of a community garden. The Coalition is partnering with a variety of agencies and
organizations to implement educational initiatives targeting children within the Paducah School
System to promote proper diet and exercise. Education initiatives will be based on the CATCH
program. The CATCH program is a physical activity and nutrition education program targeting
school aged children that has been implemented in hundreds of afterschool and community-based
programs across the U.S.
The park development and education initiatives will allow the Coalition to take proactive steps
toward addressing child obesity in the community. The CATCH program will connect nutrition and
wellness to physical activity and will be managed collaboratively by the school system and
Paducah Park Services Department. The outdoor health park will also serve as an ideal location
for health fairs and outdoor markets/events associated with encouraging proper diet and exercise.
The project will be completed over the course of three years. No other organization in the
community is taking a sustainable holistic approach to proactively address childhood health
concerns.
The Coalition is targeting three neighborhoods in their initiative: LowerTown/Downtown, French
Town, and Fountain Avenue. Twenty-two (22%) of the population in the targeted neighborhoods
are children under the age of 19. The child obesity rate in Paducah -McCracken County is 15.57
percent and both Lourdes Hospital and Baptist Health have identified obesity prevention and
illness related to obesity as their number one health priority. Development of the Fountain Gardens
Outdoor Health Park and CATCH educational initiatives provides a three pronged approach to
preventive health — nutrition, physical fitness, and access to affordable health care.
The Paducah School System currently utilizes a program called "Seed to Table" designed by the
Page 4
FOUNTAIN AIN GARaDLI"IS GET FII. YOUTH
Garden School Foundation. This program allows school age children to grow and prepare their
own produce. However, the program does not directly connect nutrition to physical wellness and
only targets children in grades K-5. The Coalition is looking to connect the "Seed to Table"
program to the CATCH program through the school system and by creating after school and
summer programs to create the linking of proper nutrition to the importance of physical fitness.
The outdoor health park will be constructed in three phases. The Coalition is applying for
$400,000 from the Investing in Kentucky's Future (IKF) program to complete the first phase of the
project. The Coalition has secured $268,928 in cash and in-kind matching funds for a total cost
of $734,845. Future phases will be completed with investments from the City of Paducah,
unidentified grant opportunities, and private investment.
The Coalition will provide oversight related to the coordination between the CATCH program and
the outdoor health park development; as well as, outreach to stakeholders and evaluate success.
The City of Paducah will provide financial oversight for the IKF grant, if awarded. The City will
also own, operate, and maintain the park facilities thereby ensuring the park is sustained properly.
Additionally, the Park Services Department will provide staffing to incorporate the CATCH
program in their after school and summer youth programs. Furthermore, because the Land and
Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has invested resources into the park, the site must remain a park
in perpetuity. The United Way of Paducah -McCracken County is serving as the applicant for the
IKF grant. The education initiatives will be sustained through partnerships between the Paducah
School System, the local Cooperative Extensive Office, Baptist Health, Lourdes Hospital and
numerous other local community based organizations. The Coalition and the Purchase District Health
Department will evaluate existing wellness programs implemented by the Paducah School System
and provide recommended changes to the those programs based on the project outcomes.

?he Purchase Area Connections for Health Coalition is proposing to develop the Fountain Gardens
Outdoor Health Park in an effort to provide non-traditional preventive health measures for children to
defend against the development of chronic diseases later in life. The Purchase District Health Coalition
was formed in July 2014 (Table 4 for a list of members). This group of individuals represent the major
health care providers; as well as, other concerned stakeholders throughout Western Kentucky. The
Coalition emerged in response to resources being exhausted in multiple entities to accomplish the same
goals.
Within a two year time frame a Community Needs Assessment with, at least some focus on Health, was
completed by Baptist Health, Lourdes Hospital, the Purchase District Health Department, and the United
Way. The results of each of these needs assessments mirrored one another. This was encouraging as it
confirmed the actual needs in the community, but it was discouraging to reflect on the amount of time
and money that was invested in four different projects. These four organizations acknowledged the
community could be better served if they came together and invited other organizations to join ahem
in future efforts. Thus, the Purchase Area Connection for Health Coalition was born.
Project Summary
The Fountain Gardens Get Fit Youth Wellness program will implement education initiatives designed to
instruct students on the importance of a healthy diet and proper exercise. The education initiatives
will be based on the Coordinated Approach to Child Health (CATCH) and will link existing programs
within the Paducah School System, Paducah Park Services Department Summer Youth program; and
other afterschool programs. The CATCH Program offers physical activity and nutrition education program
targeting elementary and middle school aged children that has been implemented in hundreds of
afterschool and community-based programs across the country. Organizations in Texas, California, Kansas,
Oklahoma, and New Jersey have adopted this program and have tracked successful outcomes.
Components of the program are 3 -fold:
1. Education in nutrition, exercise, and screen time reduction.
2. Preparation of healthy foods.
3. Practicing structured physical activities.
Objectives of the CATCH program include improving the knowledge and practice of physical activity
and nutrition to improve long term health outcomes, particularly by reducing childhood obesity. According
to the CDC, obesity leaves children at a higher risk for developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, joint and musculoskeletal discomfort, gastrointestinal system
complications, and psychological disorders.
In reference to working with our schools, a formalized plan on how to integrate CATCH has not been
finalized because of the compressed nature of the development of this grant. We do, however, have
school support and support from the district office to move forward with collaboration with to educate
their students on population health: nutrition, exercise, and wellness. A total of 2000 students would be
available for us to work with in grades K — 8 (see attachment for grade level breakdown). Once the
grant is awarded, we will be able to sit down with the superintendent and principals to formulate an
action team of community leaders from our coalition with their team of curriculum developers. At that
moment, we will work to implement CATCH as long as the needs of the schools are met with this program.
If not, we will either use another program or develop one with the brain trust in our business -education

coalition. Again, the principals and superintendent of Paducah City Schools are in support of our grant
and population health education. The details will be developed using CATCH or CATCH as a guide for a
program tailored to our students. There is a cost to use CATCH and rather than build that into the money
used from the grant, the coalition felt that it would be an excellent opportunity for a philanthropist in the
community to donate the funds and be recognized for their support of this important educational tool. In
the mean -time, we will also contact Henderson County Schools for input on how well CATCH has benefited
their students in anticipation of the grant being awarded.
The Paducah Parks Department will have the opportunity to continue the CATCH program during the
summer months through their summer program. In the summer of 2014, 173 students took part in the
Paducah Parks Department summer program (see attachment for breakdown of school and grade level).
Many of these students will be from the Paducah City Schools, but students from McCracken County Schools
participate as well. Implementing this in the Paducah Parks summer program will offer continuity to
students in the Paducah City Schools and will broaden our reach to McCracken County Students.
In addition to implementing the CATCH program, the Coalition in partnership with the Purchase District
Health Department will evaluate current wellness programs for the McCracken County Schools and
Paducah Public Schools and provide recommendations to improve and advance those policies.
The coalition has reviewed McCracken County's Student Welfare and Wellness policy (09.2) in detail (see
attached) and realizes that it addresses the issues we want to address in our grant but not in as much of a
robust way. Our coalition desires to work with our schools to help address the weaker issues of policies
from both school systems to enhance guidelines for the schools to follow in order to promote health with our
students. It will take the strong resources of our public health department and educators to work together
to develop realistic and effective policies to promote health within the context of this grant.
Furthermore, the project will include the development of the Fountain Gardens Outdoor Health Park.
The Outdoor Health Park will offer a variety of physical fitness infrastructure including a community
garden and market area, a 1 /3 mile walk/bike/run path, inclusive playground equipment, fitness
equipment stations, and open free play field. The outdoor health park will provide the infrastructure
necessary to implement the CATCH program in one centralized location; therefore, eliminating limiting
factors such as access to transportation. The outdoor health park is within walking distance or a short
bike or bus trip from the three targeted neighborhoods. In future phases of the project, the City of
Paducah is proposing to develop professional office space that will house affordable health services,
which will provide a one -stop -shop to those living in the target neighborhoods.
Policies and programs by themselves will not change behavior unless we have tangible opportunities for
the students to reinforce this education. Education in the schools, education through the parks department,
education through activities with the county extension offices, and community education will help give the
students, and by proxy parents and guardians, resources to practice this knowledge at the wellness park.
The wellness park is keystone to reinforcing CATCH and the education we will give our students. Without
the park, CATCH is just another program.
Target Neighborhood
The park will be located at 1330 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive in the Fountain Avenue neighborhood.
Specifically, the Coalition is targeting the youth in three neighborhoods: Fountain Avenue (Census Tract
305), French Town (Census Tract 304), and the LowerTown/Downtown area (Census Tract 303) of
Paducah. The development of the park will aid in boosting the over-all health and welfare of the
residents under 19 years of age in the project area by providing; once fully developed, fitness
infrastructure, educational initiatives designed to connect nutrition and physical fitness, and health
care facilities designed to be affordable for the uninsured and underinsured. Page 7
FOUNTAIN GARDENS GET FIT YOUTH
Disadvantaged and low-income residents, especially children, are the most vulnerable populations in
Kentucky and Paducah, KY is no different. According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the least
healthy counties have twice as many children living in poverty and twice the mortality rate of healthier
counties. "Poverty or income are among the most important factors to health," according to Bridget
Catlin, director of the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps Program at the University of Wisconsin
Population Health Institute. "They're not the only factors, but they have a strong relationship, whether
you use income or poverty or child poverty - it's all the same relationship."
KeyStreategiees
The Coalition's goal is to provide cost effective health care services, educational initiatives, and
infrastructure to encourage proper diet and exercise to residents, especially children, in the target
neighborhoods. The development of the outdoor health park and implementation of the CATCH program
will aid in achieving this goal. The park's proximity to three disadvantaged neighborhoods will minimize
barriers, such as access to transportation and lack of financial resources, for persons utilizing the outdoor
health park. The core strategies for achieving this goal are to:
1. Construct a centrally located outdoor health park that is readily accessible and cost effective
to the targeted neighborhoods. The recreational portion of the facility will include an inclusive
play ground that will accommodate all ages and physical conditions. Furthermore, the outdoor
health park will boast a 1/3 mile walking trail, outdoor fitness equipment, free play field,
and spray pad with amphitheater, community garden, and an outdoor market area that can be
used for festivals, health promoting/instruction, open air markets, and other activities promoting
children's health. The outdoor health park will be constructed in multiple phases and is estimated
to cost $1,400,000. A conceptual design of the project can be found in Appendix C. The coalition
is taking their commitment to promoting a healthy lifestyle by providing the necessary resources
to those who can benefit the most. The proposed outdoor health park will provide cost effective
resources to local residents of the target neighborhoods; thereby, eliminating financial constraints
as limiting factor to healthier living.
2. The Coalition is proposing the implementation of the CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child
Health) program in the Paducah School System. This program will complement the school systems
existing "Seed to Table" nutrition program. "See to Table" is a year-round program of garden -
based education for K -51h grades and is designed to get kids learning about the world through
firsthand experiences. Working in the garden, students are challenged to interact with each other
in new ways and cooperate to work toward a common goal in an environment that encourages
exploration, play, and creativity. As children learn about caring for food plants and the soil,
classes demonstrate to youth that what they do matters to the world around them and to their
own lives. The "Seed to Table" program has been imple nted at Morgan Elementary and allows
students to plant a garden on site and to see the fruits of their labor as the garden flourishes.'
While it is good that the "Seed to Table" program focuses on working together and how
gardening is related to math, science and literature, the Coalition would like to connect these
lessons to a more focused approach on health and wellness throughout the year. The goal is to
implement the CATCH program to link the work that is being done with the "Seed to Table'
program to health and wellness. CATCH creates an environment that makes healthy decisions fun,
and the programs "Coordination Kits" make it easy for schools, after school, and summer
programs to use the program effectively across disciplines. CATCH has the largest evidence
base of any obesity prevention program, and is championed by health professionals and school
administrators nationwide. CATCH is based on the CDC Whole School, Whole Community, and
Whole Child model in which health education, school environment, and family/community
involvement work together to support youth in a healthy lifestyle.2

FOUNTAIN GARDENcO SET FI i "YOUTH
The Coalition is committed to working with the Paducah School System and Paducah Park Services
Department to evaluate each of their welfare and wellness policies and procedures. Specifically,
a staff person from the Purchase District Health Department is willing to work with the school
administration to encourage current policies be updated and new policies be implemented. The
school systems are required to update their health and wellness policies on a consistent basis
and the Coalition recognizes that for the updates to be done effectively that an expert on
health and wellness needs to contribute to this process. The collaboration between the schools
and the Purchase District Health Department will increase the likelihood that these policies and
procedures will not just be part of a manual, but they will become part of the schools culture.
For real change to
occur in the health of children, it is necessary for health and wellness strategies to not just be
words on paper, but imbedded in the curriculum that students are being taught every day.
3. In future phases of the project, the Coalition is proposing the construction of the office/retail
space- located adjacent to the park which will provide a variety of affordable health care
0p ortunities for children residing in the target neighborhood. The city will promote the
office/retail space to organizations that will provide low cost health services such as dental,
behavioral, and general practice health care. Additionally, the retail space will be available
for local business development that will promote healthy Living; such as whole food stores, yogurt
shops, and the like.
The following key elements were developed by the Coalition and serve has the foundation for the
multifaceted project:
a. Physical Fitness: Development and installation of physical fitness infrastructure to promote physical
activity initiatives and implementation of CATCH program that affect children and their families:
■ Develop partnerships with schools and after school programs to provide education on the
proper use of the physical fitness infrastructure.
■ Work with the Paducah Parks Services Department and other partners to create events
that champion physical wellness such as health fairs, field play events, walk/bike/run
events, etc.
■ Link programs with built environment.
■ Connect physical fitness and nutrition education.
'http://www.gardenschoolfoundation.org/seedtotable 2
http:Hcatchinfo.o�
b. Nutrition: Work with Paducah School System and after school programs; as well as, the Paducah
Parks Services Department to develop and support initiatives that promote good nutrition and
healthy eating habits in children and their families.
■ Implement the CATCH program to teach the value of fresh produce as part of a
healthy diet.
■ Work with local partners such as the Purchase District Health Department to
improve health education for children and families.
■ Evaluate existing wellness programs within the Paducah School System and make
recommendations that will maximize results.
c. Built Environment: Build environment that directly impacts physical fitness and nutrition for school
children in the Paducah School System.
■ Put at the disposal of local residents physical fitness infrastructure.
■nstall eutdeer fitness equipment within the park.
Page 9
FOUNTAIN GARDENS GET FIT YOUTH
■ Creation of a 1/3 mile walking trail.
■ Development of an open/free play field.
■ Installation of inclusive playground equipment.
d. Affordable Health Services: Create professional office space that will provide a one- stop -
shop for affordable health care.
■ In the later phases of the park's development, affordable health care clinics will be
located adjacent to the park to provide dental care, behavioral health care, family
medicine, etc.
■ Make services readily available to children and families by reducing limiting factors
will encourage residents to take advantage of the low cost services.
The success of the project will be measured in educational awareness of the project's beneficiaries;
as well as, the proportion of time engaged in moderate -to -physical activity. The Coalition believes
the long term outcome of the project will be the advancement of nutrition, health, and physical fitness
of participants. Monitoring effects in school age children over time will allow the Coalition to make
necessary changes to maximize the benefit of the project. The logic model (Appendix A) illustrates the
short term, intermediate and long term outcomes of the proposed project.
MARKETANALYSIS
%he Coalition is specifically targeting children in three neighborhoods: Fountain Avenue,
LowerTown/Downtown, and French Town. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, twenty-two (22) percent
of the population in the target neighborhoods is children under the age of 19. While the Coalition
is specifically targeting these three neighborhoods, other areas of the city and county stand to benefit
as well. The park is bounded by 13th and 14"' Streets and Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Madison
Street. The park, including the proposed professional office space encompasses approximately six (6)
acres with more than four (4) acres set aside for outdoor amenities. The City of Paducah, through its
Parks Services Department, will own, operate, and maintain the park. The city allocates approximately
$3,000,000 to the Parks Services Department annually for operation, maintenance, staff salary, etc.
The development of the Fountain Gardens Outdoor Health Park creates a unique opportunity to
provide preventive health care to children in the target neighborhoods. There are five schools within
the vicinity of the target neighborhoods with a student population of approximately 3,000 students. A
significant number of children residing in the target neighborhoods are living in poverty and; therefore,
are believed to be suffering for the lack of available resources to ensure proper diet, exercise,
and health care. Table 1 below illustrates a combined median household income for the target
neighborhoods of $17,591. The Median Household Income for Paducah is
$34,679 and for McCracken County is $44,757. Furthermore, McCracken County has a child obesity
rate (ages 2-19) of 15.52 percent3. Additionally, according to Baptist Health's 2012 Community Health
Needs Assessment, 21 percent of households surveyed in McCracken County have at least one child
living in the household that is considered overweight or obese. Baptist Health and Lourdes Hospital
have both identified Obesity prevention and illnesses related to obesity as their number one health
priority.

The property identified for the project's development offers a blank slate to create a unique
space to inspire and education children to live a more active healthier lifestyle. The outdoors is still the
number -one spot for truly unstructured play. Free play allows kids to do what comes
naturally to them --make up their own games, develop their own rules and explore their
world. Time spent playing outdoors encourages kids to exercise their bodies along with their cognitive
and social abilities, helping them develop vital skills they need to become positive, productive adults.
Whether on an innovative play structure or deep in the woods, kids playing outside are more apt to
stretch their imaginations along with their muscles, playing more freely as they literally swing from one
adventure to another.
Research shows a direct connection between daily exposure to natural environments and children's health.
Child advocacy expert, Richard Louv, author of national bestseller Last Child in the Woods, has sparked
a national conversation about the disconnection between children and nature, and has galvanized an
international movement. This influential book illustrates the staggering divide between children and the
outdoors. Louv directly links the lack of nature in the lives of today's wired generation - coined as the
nature -deficit - to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention
disorders, and depression.5 Providing convenient and affordable resources to children in the target
neighborhoods will foster outdoor play and offer a distinctive approach to reducing the effects of
the "nature deficit."
Inclusive playground environments allow all children and their families to play together, regardless of
their abilities. The Coalition is proposing to install an inclusive playground. Inclusive playgrounds are
designed to promote a higher level of inclusive play by addressing accessibility, age and
developmental appropriateness and sensory -stimulating activity allowing children with disabilities to
benefit from the outdoor play. In addition to the inclusive playground the Coalition
3 Center for Disease Control
4 U.S. Census Bureau, 2009-2013 American Community Survey
is proposing a 1 /3 mile walking/bike trail, a free play field that can be used for soccer, disc golf,
and other field sports. The Coalition is also proposing 10 fitness stations equipped with state of the
art outdoor equipment similar to what someone can find in a fitness center. Equipment will include chest,
leg, and vertical presses, pull down machines, butterfly machines, elliptical machines, cross trainers,
and stair climbers, just to name a few. A community garden is designed to allow local residents to
grow fresh produce and will encourage healthy eating habits. The community garden will allow the
Coalition to also partner with the local schools district, boys & girls club, and other organizations centered
on championing children to develop education programs to teach children the importance of eating a
balanced diet and give them skills to grow and prepare their own produce. The final phases of the project
will include partnering with local real estate developers to provide professional office space that will
offer a location for affordable health care services. By offering all the proposed amenities at one,
convenient location, the Coalition is providing a one -stop -shop for disadvantaged persons living in the
target community. The goal is to encourage through a multi -faceted approach, healthier living to reduce
child obesity rates and reduce the prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and high
cholesterol.
While there are an abundance of opportunities to address children's health with the development of the
Fountain Gardens Outdoor Health Park, the project also comes with its own unique set of the challenges.
The most prominent challenge is whether or not the new proposed infrastructure and education initiatives
will be successful in achieving the Coalitions goal.

No other organization in the community is taking a sustainable holistic approach to proactively address
childhood health concerns. The Coalitions methodology addresses the all facets of the child health
care including the physical and behavioral. By providing the resources necessary to educate children
on the importance of a balanced diet, proper exercise, and adequate health services, the Coalitions
intends to effect positive change in the overall health of children residing in the target neighborhoods.
"Ae Coalition is working with a variety of partners (see Table 4: Coalition Members) to development the
proposed outdoor health park and implement the CATCH program.

Built Environment
Connecting children with public parks is something that cannot be provided readily. The proposed
outdoor health park will make physical fitness infrastructure readily available and affordable to the
target neighborhoods and provide a centralized location for implementing the CATCH program. The
outdoor health park offers a sustainable resource for encouraging proper diet and exercise for youth
living in the targeted neighborhoods.
KeySuccess Factors/Strengths
Many local child serving organizations recognize that healthy lifestyles need to be encouraged and
demonstrated to the children they provide services. The proposed Health Park lends itself to the
development of multiple learning activities focused on positive healthy living. As schools and other
organizations recognize the ease of use of the Health Park due to location and accessibility, the
likelihood of success for the Coalitions goals will increase. Additionally, these child serving agencies
and the schools have a system in place to evaluate the learning levels of participants of the CATCH
program. This will play well in the Coalitions plan to measure the affects the Health Park has on
children and is certainly a strength in the plan.
Additionally, benefits that the City of Paducah can reap from the Health Park is key to the Coalition's
success. The City of Paducah desires for children in the community to learn and practice healthy lifestyles
because the children of the community are its future workforce. Healthy children can grow up to be
healthy adults that contribute to the City of Paducah, but unhealthy children can grow up to be unhealthy
adults that drain resources throughout the community. The City of Paducah will maintain the Health Park
and have a strong incentive to do so. ig` 3

Partners will designate a representative to serve on the Purchase Area Connections for Health Coalition
to provide oversight and input for programming and construction ideas. With the large number of
community partners and the variety of entities they represent the Coalition will have the ability to
collaborate in a unique way. Encouraging healthy lifestyles throughout a broad sector of the community
requires creative thinking and innovative implementation of ideas. This existing group can fulfill these
goals.
Partners may also offer financial support to the project; as well as, assistance with additional fundraising
for the construction of the health park. After the completion of the construction this coalition will
encourage businesses and organizations to hold community wide events such as health fairs, walk/run
events, etc. at the park to bring awareness to the ease of having a healthy lifestyle in the community.
Decisions will be discussed with the entire Purchase Area Connections for Health Coalition and will
ultimately be voted on by the Advisory Council for the Foundation for a Healthy Kentucky Grant (see
Table 4: Coalition Members for advisory council members). This Advisory Council will keep minutes from
meetings to provide documentation of decisions. All decisions affecting the operations and maintenance
of the park must be ratified by the Paducah City Commission. Once the park is fully developed, all
decisions relating to the park will be made by the Paducah City Commission with advisement from the Coalition.
Plans for decisions made by the Advisory Council will be outlined in their meeting minutes. Subcommittees
for specified tasks may be formed; as well as, individuals providing time and effort for plans to be
carried out. The Paducah Parks Services Department will implement decisions made by the Paducah City
Commission.
The City of Paducah will serve as the fiscal agent for the grants funds, if awarded. Representatives from
the City of Paducah will provide updates of expenditures to the Coalition. The City of Paducah will
have a budget for this project and can present that at Coalition Meetings and Advisory Council Meetings.
Data will be collected by the schools, childcare providers, and afterschool programs that will benefit
from the programming that will take place at the park. These entities will submit data to the United Way
of Paducah -McCracken County. The United Way will share the data with the Advisory Council and the
Coalition. The United Way can also share the data with local media to report the results of the project to
the community at large. Milestones will be monitored by sharing the data collected with the Coalition on a
consistent basis. A key member of the Advisory Council or a staff person from one of the schools, childcare
providers, or after school programs will present the information to the full Coalition.
The Coalition will evaluate the effectiveness of the effort by reviewing the data and discussing the
effectiveness of the CATCH program. Modifications to the Coalitions approach will be made based on the
success of the project's outcomes. The project will continue for a minimum of three years.
If desired results are not being achieved the Coalition will create a plan to alter the program(s) to
improve the outcomes. This may require a subcommittee of Coalition members and other experts changing
the program and offering suggestions and input on implementation.

FOUNTAIN 'C-7ARDENS GET FR YOUTH
STAFFING AND FACILITIES
'7he City of Paducah, through its Parks Services Department, will provide staffing to operate and
maintain the Fountain Gardens Outdoor Health Park. The park will be located in the Fountain Avenue
neighborhood at 1330 Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive. The site is approximately six (6) acres and owned
by the City of Paducah. A part time staff person with the Paducah Park Services Department will be
responsible for implementing the CATCH Program. It is vital that this staff person work closely with the
schools as well as the other community partners, particularly the McCracken County Extension Office and
the Purchase District Health Department, to maximize the effectiveness of the CATCH Program. These three
entities have much to offer in relation to encouraging children and youth to increase their physical activity,
improve their knowledge of healthy food choices and reduce their amount of unhealthy screen time.
The mission of Paducah Parks Services is to provide an affordable and positive comprehensive system
of recreation programs designed to enhance the quality of life for the residents of the City of Paducah;
as well as, surrounding communities. The Parks Services Department strives to organize and implement
leisure pursuits that promote the behavioral, social, and physical well- being of all actively or passively
participating citizens regardless of socioeconomic background, race, creed or religion.
The Paducah Parks Services currently maintains 28 areas in the Paducah Parks Services system. The
Parks Maintenance division also maintains the right-of-way surrounding bridges, viaducts, drainage
ditches, and other areas on city land. The Park Maintenance division maintains city- owned land that
is not a public park including Information Age Park, Industrial Park West, the police station, and city
hall.
The Park Maintenance is comprised of 17 full time staff: 14 Laborers, two supervisors and one
superintendent. During the busy months of summer an additional part time and 10 temporary employees
are employed. These staff help keep all the parks in the system mowed and policed for litter, equipment
repaired, sports fields lined, and special events set up. Over the course of the year city staff is
responsible for the following duties:
1. Mowing: Park maintenance strives to mow approximately 447 acres of land regularly. In order
to maintain the parks according to the level of use they get some areas are mowed often more
than others. Baseball/softball fields, playgrounds and other high use areas are mowed weekly
and sometimes biweekly. Natural Areas, right of ways and vacant lots the City owns may be
mowed less regularly. In the fall and winter mowing shifts to leaf mulching and removal.
2. Maintenance: Park maintenance performs the minor repairs in the parks. Park maintenance
replaces basketball, tennis and soccer nets, repairs picnic tables and replaces damaged
playground equipment. The park maintenance division is also responsible for maintaining all the
small engine equipment use to maintain the parks. Park staff repairs mowers, string trimmers,
blowers and other items.
3. Event set Up: The Park maintenance assists with the set up and tear -down of several festivals
and events. The park maintenance division sets up stages, barricades, temporary fences
and tables. Park Maintenance assists in the preparations for The Ice Rink, Barbecue on the river,
the Quilt Show, Summer Festival, 8th of August, Bikes on Broadway, 5K runs in Noble Park and a
number of events.
4. Landscaping: Park maintenance is responsible for weeing, planting, watering and fertilizing many
landscaped areas in the downtown parking lots, Broadway, Riverfront and Noble Park. The Civic
Beatification Board and many private garden clubs maintain a large number of landscaped areas
in Noble Park and in the downtown area in "adopt a spots."
5. Sports Facilities: Park maintenance is responsible for preparing and maintaining 11
baseball/softball fields, six soccer fields, one par -3, 9 -hole golf course, seven horseshoe pits
tClgeI4
FOUNTAIN GARDENS GET FIT YO T' I
and five basketball courts, six tennis courts, one sand volleyball court, one 18 -hole disc golf course
and one skate park.
6. Oak Grove Cemetery: Park maintenance is responsible for the mowing and upkeep of the city
owned cemetery. Park maintenance staff mows, maintains, locates new and existing graves, and
repairs old monuments.
RISK FACTORS
The limitations of the proposed project include:
1. The project will be completed in multiple phases which it could take years before success can be
fully measured and benefits full maximized;
2. Funding for future phases has not be secured;
3. The schedule for implementation of all phases will take more than three years; and,
4. Government entities are involved required consideration for procurement requirements and labor
compliance.
There are no known oppositions to the proposed project. The Coalition will be hosting a series of
stakeholder meetings in the three target neighborhoods throughout the project in an effort to gage
community interest and garner input. Coalition meetings will host meetings with members of the faith
community, civic organizations, community based organizations, parent -teach organizations, etc.
MARKETING
The marketing strategy for the promoting the park and education initiatives is a simple one. Parks are
notorious gathering places for all generations, which will provide the Coalition with an advantage in
gamering interest in the project. The Coalition is will host a series of the community meetings to inform the
residents about the benefits of the project. The first meeting is scheduled for January 17, 2015 with
members of the faith community in the target neighborhoods. Additional meetings with volunteer groups,
professional organizations, community based organizations, etc. will continue throughout the projects
development.
Information about the park's development will be made available on the city's Facebook and Twitter
accounts; as well as, on the city's website. The Coalition will utilize local media outlets to inform residents
about the project's progress. Press releases, personal conversations, interviews, newsletter notices, etc. will
also be used as a method of informing the public about the initiative.
Through a partnership with local schools, educational opportunities will be offered to provide instruction
on how to grow and prepare produce grown in the community garden. The Paducah Parks Services
Department's events coordinator will promote activities hosted at the park to the general public with
emphasis on targeting children.
While the Coalition is a group of stakeholders committed to the park for the purposes of improving
the quality of life for residents, especially children, living in the three target neighborhoods, ultimately
decisions and policies affecting the park will be made by the City of Paducah. The Coalition will serve
in an advisory capacity to the City Commission. Decisions regarding the education component of this
proposal will be made by the Coalition.
The Coalition is requesting funds from the Foundation for a Health Kentucky IKF program to
the first phase of the project. The project will be implemented in a minimum of three phases,

5. Baptist Health - $25,000
Potential funding sources for completion of Phase I
1. Foundation for a Health KY - $400,000
2. Recreational Trails Program -$100,000
The Coalition is developing a capital campaign plan to raise approximately $800,000 for the completion
of the second phase. Other government grants will be sought and the city will work with a private
developer on the completion of phase three.
The development of the park at the proposed location was originally conceived by the City of
Paducah as part of their Fountain Avenue neighborhood revitalization plan. The Coalition approached
the City about developing the park into an outdoor health park geared toward educating children about
the importance of the proper diet and exercise.
Sustaining the initiatives will be a partnership between the Coalition and the following organizations:
■ City of Paducah's Parks Services Department will be responsible for the park's operation and
maintenance. The department will also provide staffing for after school and summer youth
programs to continue the CATCH program when school is not in session.
■ The Paducah School System will aid in the implementation of the CATCH program.
■ The Coalition and the Purchase District Health Department will review the Paducah School
District's Wellness Programs and make recommendations for improving or modifying the plans
�'c e 16
FOUNTAIN GARDENS GET RT YOUTH
to maximize the benefits of the CATCH program.
■ The Purchase District Health Department and Paducah School System will collaborate in order
to monitor and measure outcomes beyond the three year period.
• Gardens will be maintained and managed by the Cooperative Extension Service and the
Paducah Parks Services Department.
■ The Paducah City Commission will provide financial oversight of the project.
■ The Coalition will review measured results and made adjustments to the program, if
necessary.
■ Baptist Health and Lourdes Hospital are providing a total of $50,000 to complete the first
phase of the project. Both hospitals have also agreed to begin a capital campaign to raise
funds to the complete project beyond the first phase.
The Coalition is in the process of the garnering support from local civic organization, faith based
organizations, neighborhood alliances, and other stakeholders.
The following organizations have pledged their support for the proposed initiative:
■ The United Way of Paducah -McCracken County;
■ City of Paducah;
■ BaptistHealth;
■ Lourdes Hospital;
■ Purchase District Health Department;
■ Paducah School System; and,
■ McCracken County Public School System.
The first phase of the project will be completed over the course of three years. The first year will
include engineering design of the health parks physical fitness infrastructure. The first year will also
include the implementation of the CATCH program and analysis of the Paducah School System's
Wellness plans. The Parks Services Department will develop of the community gardens. Also, the
Coalition will continue to garner support from community organizations to ensure the project achieves
its full potential. The Coalition is requesting $150,000 from the IKF program for the first year of the
initiative.
The second year of the project will include the continuation of the CATCH program; as well as,
construction of the physical fitness infrastructure. The Coalition will make recommendations to the Paducah
School System regarding methods to improve their wellness plans and maximize the benefits of the
CATCH program. Construction of the outdoor health park will begin. The Coalition is requesting
$200,000 for the second year of the initiative. It is in the second year that the matching funds will be
utilized.
The third year of the project will include the completion of construction and the Coalition can begin 11,
post-test measurement to determine the project's success rate. Once the success rate has been measured,
the Coalition will make modifications to the program, if necessary. The Coalition is requesting
$50,000 for the third year of the initiative.
A more detailed breakdown of the proposed accomplishments for each year of the initiative can be
found in the work plan section of this proposal.

The project costs illustrated in the table above were developed by Brandstetter Carroll, Inc.,
Architects, Engineers, and Planners. The project costs encompass activities captured in the first pha e
of the proposed project. The Coalition has secured matching funds for the IKF grant and the
e
proposed timeline for completion of phase one is approximately three years. Matching funds for the
IKF grant will be provided by the following resources:
1. City of Paducah - $75,000 cash
2. City of Paducah - $38,860 in-kind
3. Lourdes Hospital - $25,000 cash
4. Baptist Health - $25,000 cash
5. Land and Water Conservation Fund - $75,000 grant
6. Recreational Trails (unfunded) - $95,985 (estimate)
Within the first year of the proposed initiative, the Coalition and the City will begin engineering
design of the physical infrastructure. Concurrently, the Coalition will begin the education initiatives
by assessing existing wellness plans within the Paducah School System and continuing to sle
stakeholder input. After evaluating the wellness programs, implementation of the CATCH program
will begin. The City's Park Services Department will begin redesigning and developing the communi�y
gardens. Expansion of the Gardens will continue into the second year. Total cost of expenditures
for the first year is $303,605 (including in-kind support). Engineering design of the physical
infrastructure will be complete in the later part of the first year; therefore, the bidding process
and construction can begin.
In second year of the proposed initiative, the Park Services Department will continue to expand
the community gardens to accommodate the CATCH program. Construction of the physical
infrastructure will continue in the second year and will include completion of the infrastructure
started in the first year and construction of the walk/bike path. The Coalition is also proposing
the installation of the outdoor fitness equipment in the second year. The total cost for the second
year is $275,140.
In the third and final year of the proposed initiative, construction of the physical infrastructure will
be winding down with the installation of the benches along the walk/bike path, installation of the
inclusive playground, and planting of the trees and landscaping. The CATCH program will continU:e
with more emphasis on the importance of the physical wellness and how it complements proper
diet. The total cost for the third year is $156,100
For each year of the program, costs outlined in each budget year for the CATCH program
implementation/staffing, include fees associated implementing the program in the Paducah School
system; as well as, funding for staff at the schools and at the Parks Services Department. Th'e
Park Services Department will continue the program during the summer months as part of their
youth programs. IKF funding will provide financial support for a part-time (average 10-15 hours per
weeks) for staff to implement the CATCH program.
EVALUATION PLAN NARRATIVE
Task 1: Targeted neighborhoods include children of the Fountain Avenue, LowerTown/Downtown,
and French Town areas in Paducah—participating in two complementary programs:
(i) A community-based exercise and nutrition initiative modeled after the Coordinated
Approach to Child Health (CATCH).
Pca<ge 23',
FOUNTAIN GARDENS GET FIT YOUTH
(ii) The Seed to Table gardening program funded by the Garden School Foundation.
The projects will involve a collaboration between the Paducah Park Services Department,
Purchase District Health Department, and the Purchase District Health Coalition with the
McCracken County and Paducah Public School systems.
Task 2: Educational initiatives include implementation of lessons and activities, modeled after the
CATCH program. Teachers from the Paducah School systems - in association with the nutritional
departments of the Purchase District Health Department, McCracken County Cooperative Extension
Office, Baptist Health, and Lourdes Hospital - will use these lesson and activity plans to educate
students on physical activity and nutrition. Objectives of the program are 3 -fold:
(i) Education in nutrition, exercise, and screen time reduction.
(ii) Preparation of healthy foods.
(iii) Practicing structured physical activities.
Task 3: Measuring outcomes will remain a key priority so that the program's efficacy is ensured
and progress can be tracked. Examples of possible measurable outcomes include:
(i) Proportion of time engaged in moderate -to -vigorous physical activity.
(ii) Reduction in screen time.
(iii) Increase in consumption of fruits, vegetables, and water.
(iv) Reduction in consumption of junk food, soda, and fruit juices.
(v) Reduction in BMI percentile scores.
(vi) Increased knowledge of the importance of a balance diets and physical wellness.
(vii) ) increased physical fitness activity.
Additionally, students will be routinely assigned to write about their personal experiences in the
program, allowing coordinators to assess strengths and weaknesses of the curriculum that may be
adjusted, as needed.
Task 4: Measurement of the number of newly insured each year for the FQHC and also the
number serviced for dental and behavioral health.

Website and Electronic Publication
As more organizations make use of websites and electronic newsletters to disseminate news of
their programs, the Foundation asks that organizations adhere to the following guidelines. This
helps the Foundation to assure that the Foundation's mission and funding programs are
described accurately and consistently.
• Use only the language provided in the above guidelines (or other similar
language agreed to by the Foundation) when referencing the Foundation's
programs or grants.
• Organizations with websites who want to provide information about the
Foundation to their site's visitors are asked to link to the Foundation's
website —www.healthy- ky.org.
• Organizations may not use the Foundation name and/or logo on their
websites or any implication that such sites were created or sponsored by the
Foundation without express permission.
• Organizations may not duplicate information (text, photos, etc.) from
the Foundation's website for use on their own site, except that
information which uniquely describes the organization.
• Organizations may not link the Foundation website to commercial
websites that promote services or products unrelated to the work funded
by the Foundation.
