The ground is very very soft too. I highly recommend this Park! Check their website for info on sports teams for kids and adults, as well as movie nights. I saw information on football, baseball, soccer, cheer, and rugby. Also kids camps and adults sports leagues. We need more places like this in Louisiana!

Mel Ott Park has had so much redone lately that it definitely deserves a review!…read more I have been going to this park my whole life. I grew up here. It has a really nice playground and play area for kids and a lot of nice greenery. It's not the biggest park, but it's really nice for what it is. There is a good number of different covered areas that can be used for picnics as well as a large baseball field. There is also a gazebo that can be rented for parties and other gatherings. Recently the park added a huge recreation center that contains a full size basketball court complete with retractable bleachers. This was built in order to encourage kids in Gretna and surrounding areas to play sports and stay involved in their community. There is also a huge meeting space that can be rented for different events or meetings.

I never even knew this place existed until about a year ago. It's obviously a much needed…read morecommunity center for this area. It seems like they offer a lot of activities for all ages, and even a pretty large pool out back. It's apparently able to be rented out since the 3 events I've been to in the last year have all been private dancing events. I've been twice for a ballroom dance competition for kids called the Mindsteppers competition as well as a dance recital. There's plenty of parking nearby since where the neutral ground would normally be, they've created angled parking spots. It's the only place in the city where I've seen this, and honestly it's kind of ingenious and this city could use more parking like that as well as more community centers like this one.

The Lyons Recreation Center is a wonderful facility for recitals and presentations. It is the space…read moreNOBA uses to host their ballet recitals. It's basically an auditorium with a stage, so if you're looking for theatre style accommodations and acoustics, you'd find that it's not very fancy in that regard. It's a great facility to host a school play or no-profit, however. The biggest hindrance is lack of parking. There are somewhat designated parking spots, but not many and no lot. Similar to how parking is near Dixon Hall at Tulane. If you don't arrive early, you'll be parking in the neighborhood somewhere. This is usually not a problem, but it can be a little unsafe at night, and depending on the entrance used for whatever production you're attending, you might have to enter on Tchop St. That entrance doesn't have very good handicap or pull-up access. This proved to be a hinderance when we brought my elderly mother to my daughter's dance recital. Still, considering that she gets free dance enrichment through NOBA, the facility is more than appreciated for her Spring recital.

You have to pay for the splash pad/spray park (all of splash pads I have been to in other states…read moreare free) and is only open part of the year. The pool hours are extremely limited. 3 hours a day, 5 ot 6 days a week is ridiculous. And they close before Labor Day. This is south Louisiana, they could stay open until at least October.

It includes a toddler play structure and a kids play structure, as well as a full splash park! It's close to the bayou where you an see boats going by and turtles peeking up out of the water! Cons: the splash park is gated and cost money(I've never seen a splash pad charge before!) They have weird hours vs a normal splash pad that just turns on and off at the same time each day. Not good customer service. I couldn't get ahold of anyone to check hours and no one was in the office.
