This community/recreational center is, to me, a symbol of our culture and the open, welcoming sense of community and fellowship that New Orleans is known for-as well as its resilience. During Hurricane Katrina the roof of the main indoor center where the various activity rooms and basketball became structurally damaged and unsafe, and it took several years of dedicated, hard work and support from the local community, the coaches, mentors, parents volunteers and the kids who spent many happy hours at this Uptown location of the New Orleans Recreation Department (NORD) back up and running again. My son spent many years there in the football, basketball, and baseball programs, and our family has made lifelong friends in the many amazing people who give their time to make sure all youth have a place to go to learn, grow, play team sports, and form strong bonds that help them become fine adults. The well-kept facility is a reflection of the care our city has for the leaders of the future.

Wonderful pool where to swim daily. Never crowded, smart life guards. I wish the pool was still open after Labor Day ... ;-)

Wonderful staff with excellent programs! My daughter takes dance here through NOBA and it’s such a blessing to have this program available free of charge!
