“This park looks brand new!” a child’s voice rings out, echoing the thought in many minds. Harris Playground, despite its well-worn slides and swings, does have an air of renewal about it. That’s because the organization responsible for it, NORD, takes its mission seriously. The New Orleans Recreation Development Commission works tirelessly to maintain places like Harris Playground, ensuring children have safe and stimulating environments to play. They rely heavily on the NORD Foundation, a non-profit that raises funds for athletic equipment, park renovations, and even staffing. So next time you see a freshly painted bench or a new basketball hoop at Harris Playground, remember the dedication of NORD and the generosity of the community that keeps this urban oasis thriving.
