Welcome to NORD

NORD provides the public with a wide variety of recreational events, venues, and parks.

Find out more about our 2010 Summer Camp Programs.

In addition to the NORD programs and camps, many community organizations are offering low cost or no cost programs for New Orleans’ youth. In conjunction with the city, the Greater New Orleans Afterschool Partnership has launched a one-stop resource for information (http://neworleans.ilivehere.info) containing the most up to date activities in New Orleans available to children and youth this summer.

New! The New Orleans Recreation Department's Cultural Division is accepting applications from students or graduates in visual arts and ceramics.
