Girard Playground belongs to the Jefferson Parish Recreation Department, covering the northeastern area of Metairie, Louisiana, along Lake Pontchartrain, in suburban New Orleans. Our park has been providing youth sport opportunities to the community since the 1960's, has a rich tradition of success in allstar competition - and is back better than ever after Hurricane Katrina. We have an active participant and parent base through the Girard Booster Club, and thousands of children have fond memories of their time at "Girard".
"The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the
greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don't play together,
the club won't be worth a dime." - Babe Ruth
