The above information on New Orleans parks has been extracted from “Ordinances” Governing Origin & Names of Streets, Parks, Squares and Playgrounds, Numbering of Houses and Buildings as compiled by Gray B. Amos under the supervision of Mrs. E. D. Friedrichs, Custodian of the City Hall Archives. The project was carried out under the auspices of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1938. NOPL volunteer Linda Angelocci entered data from the original typewritten index into a database from which this online version was created.
