In 2022, the City of New Orleans was awarded an impactful grant by the National Recreational and Park Association (NRPA) to develop a comprehensive city-wide park and recreation master plan. The Mayor’s Office of Youth and Families (OYF), the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission and the Department of Parks and Parkways in partnership with Audubon Nature Institute, and City Park Conservancy, engaged Design Workshop to capture the vision and produce the plan. The plan engaged various city departments including the Office Of Resilience and Sustainability, the Office Of Neighborhood Engagement and the City Planning Commission. It also conducted various workshop sessions, focus groups, stakeholder conversations and employed Park Ambassadors including youth, for equitable input. Click hear to access the plan.

Dear Mayor Cantrell, City Council Members, Park Partners, and others,
I am writing on behalf of NOLA Parks For All, a local non-profit parks advocacy organization that has been a strong advocate for the adoption of a parks and recreation master plan. We are thrilled that the City has now completed and published The Big Green Easy Master Plan that will govern the city’s green spaces for years to come. The plan was funded by a $433,000 grant from the National Park and Recreation Association, executed by Design Workshop (a top national park-planning consultant), and guided by significant community input. We urge each Council District Office and the community organizations in those districts to familiarize themselves with this plan and how it affects their neighborhoods. We also urge City Council formally to adopt the plan.
The plan includes 205 pages of information, suggestions, and strategies. Parks For All has compiled into a three-page document (see downloads at the bottom of this page) those directives — taken directly from the master plan — that we consider most pressing for the City. We have also compiled into an Appendix screenshots of the "Strategies and Action Items" listed in the master plan for easy reference. These sheets provide very clear recommended action items, responsible entities, and time frames to execute the next steps needed to follow through on the plan.
As a parks advocacy organization, we intend to make sure this plan gets put into action by the Park Partners with the oversight and support of City Council, the City Planning Commission, and community organizations throughout the City. We hope you will join us in advocating for the execution of The Big Green Easy Master Plan.
Sincerely,
Scott Howard, President of NOLA Parks For All, and its Board of Directors

Orleans Parish Communication District Urges 9-1-1 Callers to “Stay on the Line and Don’t Hang Up”
If an individual calls 9-1-1 and doesn’t receive an answer immediately, don’t hang up. Stay on the line because all calls are answered in the order they are received. When OPCD is experiencing a high volume of calls and a specialist is not available immediately, the call goes into the “queue,” and the caller will hear a voice announcement that provides this information. The call moves up the queue as the caller stays on the line. As soon as the call is next in the queue and a specialist becomes available, the call is answered.
If a person hangs up and calls back, that person will lose all progress that had been made on the previous call – and that first call could have been next in the queue to be answered. When a caller hangs up the phone, the request for help starts waiting again at the beginning of the queue when they call back.
