Olive Stallings Playground Renewal


Film and photos by Charles London

Many wonderful people from far and near came out to help renew Olive Stallings Playground.

Many of the people who worked on this project were from the surrounding neighborhood but some were from as far as Minnesota, New Jersey, and California!

200 people came out in the rain and cold weather to make this happen.

    Thank you for your recent comment

    at katrinafilm.wordpress.com.

    You asked about the pool at Stallings

    Playground on Gentilly.

    The pool is currently full of water.

    The pool has been repaired but the

    pump is still waiting on parts.

    Look for the pool at Stallings Playground

    to open soon!
