Irish Channel Neighborhood Association

This Saturday, March 29 we’re going to finish the KaBOOM! playground at Soraparu Park — corner of Soraparu and Rousseau Streets.  Come meet us between 9:30 and 10 a.m. at the park.  We’ll work for about two hours installing an iron bench and trash can as well as digging holes, mixing and pouring concrete and installing bollards (steel posts for those, like me, who have no idea what a bollard is).  The chain to be hung between the bollards will be installed at a later time.  Lunch will be served after our work!

Mr. Timmons, an executive with the Ritz-Carlton (which is part of the Marriott group — which was the major and very generous sponsor of our Soraparu KaBOOM! build) is coming in from Phoenix with his family to help us finish up this park!

If it is raining, the Hill School has some indoor work with which they could use our help.

Other exciting news:  KaBOOM! has encouraged us to apply for another playground!  We are in the process of writing an application for the park at Tchoupitoulas and Pleasant Streets.  More to come!

Hope to see you on Saturday!
