notes: City Park has experienced serious damage from Hurricane Katrina. Our grounds, trees, infrastructure, records, computers, plantings, and facilities all require significant cleanup and repair. Because of the damage to the Park and the area, City Park is unable to generate revenue. We are excited to announce City Park’s newest Volunteer Opportunity: Super Saturdays. One Saturday each month– usually the first Saturday each month– volunteers are invited to meet at the tennis center parking lot (across from the Peristyle) at 9:00 a.m. Work assignments and tools will be handed out at that time and volunteers will work until 12:00 noon. Work may include pruning, raking, cutting grass, picking up trash, and planting. Please dress appropriately for the season and bring your own garden gloves along with any food and drink you wish to consume. Since we don’t know how many volunteers will show up each week, please bring yard tools if you have them. No chainsaws! The work of volunteers is always appreciated and even more so today as the park’s staff has been reduced drastically in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. We simply can’t maintain the park without your help! Super Saturday Dates for 2006: (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon each day) Saturday, October 7 Saturday, November 4 Saturday, December 2 If you are coming with a group of volunteers on a particular Saturday, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org and tell him how many volunteers will be coming with your group. Individual Volunteer Opportunities–Weekdays: Botanical Garden– Volunteers are welcome Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Tasks will include propagating plants for the garden and for plant sales, planting, weeding, trimming/pruning/deadheading, and removing christmas lights. Rest of the Park– Given our depleted staff we are not in the position to instruct and supply tools to individual volunteers during the week. That said, there is work for you to do. In the past we seldom if ever asked volunteers to pick up trash in the park. Post-Katrina all that has changed as we simply don’t have the staff or equipment to pick up and remove trash. So, if you are willing and have some time during the week, feel free to bring some trash bags and fill them up. If you can haul them away, great. If not, please leave the tied-up trash bags along the side of a roadway. Group Volunteer Opportunities– Weekdays: If you have a group of 20 or more volunteers who want to volunteer during the week, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org. Adopt a Section of the Park: Many groups, organizations and companies have adopted a section of the park and maintain it throughout the year. Adopting a section of the park constitutes a commitment of funds and often a commitment of volunteers. If you would like to adopt a section of the park, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org. If our volunteer schedule doesn't work for you, please consider volunteering with the Katrina Krewe (http://www.cleanno.org/). ================================================================ About Us-Who We Are: Once the site of Allard Plantation facing Bayou St. John, City Park’s 1,300 acres offer visitors a sample of the city’s riches both in fine art and natural splendor. City Park is home of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the largest collection of mature live oaks in the world. Trees in the oldest grove are over 600 years old. Today’s City Park is distinguished by its large menu of recreational activities and its natural beauty. City Park has a special place in the hearts of generations of New Orleanians and is a must visit for visitors to the city. A popular place to picnic, play a favorite sport, wander through its gardens or take a boat ride, the park hosts 11 million visitors each year. It is located in the heart of the city and is the largest recreation area for the entire metropolitan area. At 1,300 acres, City Park is one of the largest urban parks in the country. The first parcel of land was aquired in 1854, making it one of the country's oldest parks. The land occupied by City Park is owned by the City of New Orleans. City Park is a non-budgeted state agency of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism operated by the non-profit City Park Improvement Association (CPIA). CPIA was established in 1891 to provide for the improvement of City Park. The Louisiana Legislature placed City Park under the control of CPIA in 1896 and invested it with the authority to operate and develop the park. -> City Park sustained $43 million dollars in damages from Hurricane Katrina. Our staffing level has gone from 260 to just over 30. We just don't have the funds or the staff to do many of the things we used to do (e.g., pick up trash and debris). Volunteers are essential for the recovery of the Park and for the Park to take its place in the cultural and recreational rebirth of New Orleans. ============================================== City Park has experienced serious damage from Hurricane Katrina.

City Park is a non-budgeted state agency of the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism operated by the non-profit City Park Improvement Association (CPIA). CPIA was established in 1891 to provide for the improvement of City Park. The Louisiana Legislature placed City Park under the control of CPIA in 1896 and invested it with the authority to operate and develop the park.

notes: City Park has experienced serious damage from Hurricane Katrina. Our grounds, trees, infrastructure, records, computers, plantings, and facilities all require significant cleanup and repair. Because of the damage to the Park and the area, City Park is unable to generate revenue. We are excited to announce City Park’s newest Volunteer Opportunity: Super Saturdays. One Saturday each month– usually the first Saturday each month– volunteers are invited to meet at the tennis center parking lot (across from the Peristyle) at 9:00 a.m. Work assignments and tools will be handed out at that time and volunteers will work until 12:00 noon. Work may include pruning, raking, cutting grass, picking up trash, and planting. Please dress appropriately for the season and bring your own garden gloves along with any food and drink you wish to consume. Since we don’t know how many volunteers will show up each week, please bring yard tools if you have them. No chainsaws! The work of volunteers is always appreciated and even more so today as the park’s staff has been reduced drastically in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. We simply can’t maintain the park without your help! Super Saturday Dates for 2006: (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon each day) Saturday, October 7 Saturday, November 4 Saturday, December 2 If you are coming with a group of volunteers on a particular Saturday, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org and tell him how many volunteers will be coming with your group. Individual Volunteer Opportunities–Weekdays: Botanical Garden– Volunteers are welcome Monday-Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Tasks will include propagating plants for the garden and for plant sales, planting, weeding, trimming/pruning/deadheading, and removing christmas lights. Rest of the Park– Given our depleted staff we are not in the position to instruct and supply tools to individual volunteers during the week. That said, there is work for you to do. In the past we seldom if ever asked volunteers to pick up trash in the park. Post-Katrina all that has changed as we simply don’t have the staff or equipment to pick up and remove trash. So, if you are willing and have some time during the week, feel free to bring some trash bags and fill them up. If you can haul them away, great. If not, please leave the tied-up trash bags along the side of a roadway. Group Volunteer Opportunities– Weekdays: If you have a group of 20 or more volunteers who want to volunteer during the week, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org. Adopt a Section of the Park: Many groups, organizations and companies have adopted a section of the park and maintain it throughout the year. Adopting a section of the park constitutes a commitment of funds and often a commitment of volunteers. If you would like to adopt a section of the park, please email John Hopper at jhopper@nocp.org. If our volunteer schedule doesn't work for you, please consider volunteering with the Katrina Krewe. -> City Park has experienced serious damage from Hurricane Katrina.
