I just walked on the outskirts of this enormous park. On my way to the New Orleans Museum of Art, I walked on the sidewalk. I really enjoyed the large, old canopy of trees that line both sides of the sidewalk. On my way to and from the museum, I saw so many varieties of birds and groups of squirrels. The squirrels were frolicking and playing, chasing one another. The ducks were just hanging out, but there were other varieties of birds that were searching for and dining on earthworms, after the rain had brought them up to the surface. Lots of space and green grass. It's a beautiful park to visit and enjoy nature. No need to drive. You can take the trolly here, as I did.

Love visiting for aqua aerobics. Water aerobics is a workout for all ages. It allows you to work…read moreout every joint in your body simultaneously, all while not putting the extra stress on said joints. I know that was a mouthful. But anyway, all I'm saying is that water aerobics allows you to exercise, remain cool, and maximize the impact of the water resistance, thereby allowing you to burn calories and lose weight simultaneously. I love that most times the water is heated, so even in the cooler months, you don't experience water shock. Sometimes, the water isn't heated, and when this is the case, I just have to literally take the plunge. Just jump in there, do it quick, let my body's temperature adjust to the water, and keep it moving. One hour of water aerobics is perfect. Warm up, then we exercise, and then there's a cool down; 15, 30, 15, respectively. Always make sure to check the schedule on the NORD WEBSITE; oftentimes the pool is closed for one reason or another. Good thing about that is there are other NORD pools available for water aerobics. Shower before and after and get your workout on. There is also workout equipment, a basketball court, a walking track, and a few other things that can be utilized for recreation and exercise. All of that and it's guess what, FREE. Yep, free, free, free, free. And when I say free, I mean, of course, pay for with taxpayers dollars; however, there's no membership fee. There's no fee for the classes. There are yoga classes. There are pickleball classes. There are exercise classes. There is boxing. You name it, they have it. I led in with this review, talking about the water aerobics, because it's what I love. However, NORD has something for everyone.

Water aerobics was great! Instructors are high energy, music is wonderful. Can't wait to come back!read more

I did hits for the afternoon and I thoroughly enjoyed it, very much. I picked up some skills/knowledge I never knew from John. He's certainly passionate about teaching and making his players better. I'm excited about a consistent lesson/teaching from him soon. I highly recommend John if you are SERIOUS about having a strong tennis game. Thanks John.

Well anyway y'all, ATenChun! you have to check out UNO's Fitness Center. I went there wanting to see the facility, and seeking membership. It is the best facility I have seen in a long time. I called in before I went there asking questions, and also to see what type of professionalism I would be interacting with. I spoke with Adriana, a young lady with top of the line professionalism. The Sunday that I went in, Adriana was giving a student and her parents everything they needed to know about the fitness center and UNO. Adriana was accommodating and very welcoming. A beautiful young lady, so intelligent, and, an absolute asset to UNO. Adriana gave the family a tour of the facility and they left there as if they just found out they won the lottery. Yes indeedy, dis is dah place y'all, they murmured to each other. Uh, ur-ruh, you know there are English classes available. Huh? You know they didn't say it like that. Yeah, but ah betcha, dey wanted too. The other young professional at the desk, was Kayla who was also on point with the answers to my questions. Kayla had just come on board a few weeks or months ago and I would have sworn that she had tenure at that desk. Kayla and Adriana are students there.Our future looks very bright with these beautiful young intelligent young people. No one had to wait, registration was synchronized like a ballet at the opera.There are two pools, two exercise rooms, elliptical equipment, two racquetball courts, a track indoors ( 10 laps to make a mile), every type of fitness equipment to make your muscles fall in love, yeah babee, TVs spanning across the room, with every channel to serve you, yoga classes, juice bar, steam rooms, lockers, showers, big beautiful men, young and old,Huh? Oops I got off the path, mah bad. Beautiful women to y'all. Anyway y'all there is so much to do and so much to please everyone's fitness fancy. The building is meticulous, and every room whether fitness or restrooms, juice bar, equipment, all the areas are spotless. It would take pages to list or relate everything that is so great at UNO's fitness center. But first and foremost it was Adriana's knowledge and professionalism, and the service given by her (Adriana) and Kayla that inspires the people to become a member, and to feel like "this is the place for me", UNO Fitness Center. When someone tells you that the young people are not on the ball, just do a Ray Charles on them, and say "Hit The Road Jack And Don'tCha Come Back No Mo" huh, what chu say? Dat's right, Ah said it!

Thoroughly enjoyed my evening on the bayou during their recent Full Moon Night Paddle event…read more Check-in was very efficient with minimal wait to ride. Kayaks were on the bayou shortly before sunset and we were able to go whichever route we choose. Being independent, not having to paddle with a group and go at our own pace was definitely a plus. Paddling under the full moon was so serene. Upon returning to shore everyone dined on delicious freshly prepared fish tacos (there was also a vegan option) and beverages while listening to live music next to a campfire. There was also a raffle, I won a hat! All this was included in the registration price! Note to new kayakers: Glad I brought a hard cooler with me since it's much more water resistant than soft side. Small radio with headphones (to not disturb the waterside neighbors) also helped add to the ambiance while kayaking. Dry fit and quick drying shirt & shorts (as well as two towels; one for during and the other after I returned) kept me comfortable throughout the evening.

The battle only lasted 30 minutes. The British army suffered enormous losses.

By the time the War of 1812 reached its final act, British forces were striking along multiple fronts, and the last of those pushes brought them to the river plain at Chalmette. This is where Jackson's mixed American force held the line in January 1815, and the battlefield today still feels open enough that you can picture the fog, the rampart, and the long rows of redcoats advancing across the field. The tall white monument rises from the center of the site, with simple ground markings around it that help you read where each side stood two centuries ago. The national cemetery sits just down the road, quiet and reflective, and together the two sites make the story feel immediate rather than distant. It's a quick run from New Orleans if you're a history buff and absolutely worth the trip, a place where the scale and stakes of that final battle come into focus the moment you step out of the car.

If you are looking for a tranquil place to relax or a quiet place to jog this park fits the bill quite well. In fact you feel quite isolated if you're jogging here as I have rarely ever seen more than 30ppl here at the same time. If you are coming to the park to entertain the kiddos they will get bored here rather quickly as there is no kids playground, no ponds, no ducks, no carousels, no rides, etc. You get the picture. There are softball and soccer fields but I believe those are for organized competition only and not for recreational use. I have never seen anyone use those fields except during league play. I still like this park though because it is quiet and they do have a small sculpture garden. Most of the time, though, I prefer lots of activity around me so I prefer parks with lots of people around.
