NORD's first stand-alone splash pad, a $926,000 project that opened in July 2026 in the Algiers Cut-Off neighborhood. The 2,000-square-foot pad packs in 30 jets and fixtures plus a giant bucket that dumps water over kids every seven minutes.
What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps playground alongside at this location. No public toilets are mapped here — worth knowing before you commit to an afternoon.
When to go. Peak summer highs in New Orleans average 92°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
