The city has doubled NORD’s budget to $10 million, and commission members plan a national and local fund raising campaign, kicked off with a $1 million check.
“As soon as the Red Cross can start training people how to swim, they’ll see that immediately. Secondly, you’ll start seeing openings like the pool at Joe Brown Park, and then there will be other openings of those as well,” Landrieu said.

Good recreation programs are important to the quality of life in a community. They can play a role in crime prevention, make a city attractive for new residents and businesses and help keep children happy and healthy. The New Orleans Recreation Department used to provide top-notch programs and facilities for children, but the department has been on the decline for more than two decades as the city slashed its budget and reduced its offerings. In short, its sad condition does a disservice to the city’s children. The hope is that reinventing NORD as a public-private partnership, as the amendment would do, will bring an infusion of new resources that will give the city’s recreation programs new life.
