Volleyball along the Lafitte Corridor
Sign Now
Dear Ms. Rodriquez,
Mid-City Volleyball Group is a collection of volleyball players dedicated to the ideal of creating a beach volleyball venue in the Mid-City area of New Orleans. We are an eclectic group of people with professional backgrounds ranging from business to engineering, but we are united in our passion to play and promote outdoor volleyball. Mid-City Volleyball Group proposes that the city of New Orleans include an outdoor volleyball recreational area along the Lafitte Corridor Greenway preferably at the corridors midpoint near Bayou St. John.
A Mid-City beach volleyball venue will enhance our area by providing a fun place to be active and socialize, drawing a diverse group of people with similar interests and provide a previously unavailable opportunity for our youth to participate in a challenging and rewarding team sport. It could be a focal point of activity and with proper lighting could provide a safe destination for nighttime and weekend recreation. Although there are other suitable sites for a volleyball venue, the midpoint of the path would be well situated to attract people from either end of the corridor, it would be situated at the intersection of another bicycle path that connects the Lakefront to Uptown, and it would be situated near the natural beauty and serenity of Bayou St. John.
For the sake of making the Lafitte Corridor a community-friendly recreational greenway, we implore the City Planning Commission to incorporate sand volleyball courts into the Lafitte Corridor Revitalization Plan.

Adding volleyball courts to the proposed LaFitte Corridor bike path and recreational project makes good sense and I strongly support the idea
