Why We Do It

Because things need to change…

  • Lack of Coordination

    New Orleans green spaces are managed by 14 different entities. We need to consider New Orleans as a whole and change our balkanized delivery system.

    Public Space Entities

  • Inequitable Distribution

    The distribution of parks and the resources for their maintenance are not spread fairly across the city.

  • Over Commercialization

    Parks For All is committed to no loss of green space and limiting commercial development of our precious public parks. We should not prioritize tourists over citizens.

…and because parks are important!

  • For our HEALTH

    BY FOSTERING the mental, physical, and spiritual well-being of citizens of all ages.

  • For our CULTURE & COMMUNITY

    BY CREATING space for people to connect and spend time with each other.

  • For our INFRASTRUCTURE

    BY ABSORBING water during periods of heavy rainfall, reducing the effects of flooding.

    BY PROVIDING a natural canopy to reduce heat.

  • For our ECONOMY

    BY INCREASING the value of nearby real estate.
