Douglass Community Center The community center features a playground, gym, and meeting rooms, and hosts a variety of athletic, educational, and art-related programs.

The main building of Douglass Community Center was originally designed by architect John Bacon Hutchings and built in 1907 as a home of Jefferson Davis Stewart and Abby Churchill Ballard. In 1972, the City of Louisville purchase the property for $175,000, and it became a community center in 1973.
