New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and wife Brittany on Tuesday unveiled a new playground at Audubon Park that offers inclusive recreational opportunities for children and adults of all abilities.
Located at the front of the park near St. Charles Avenue, the new Walnut Street Playground provides wheelchair-accessible equipment and promotes interactive physical, cognitive, visual and hearing experiences.
The plaque is dedicated to the Brees' four children as well as the children of New Orleans.
"Brittany and I are honored to bring this playground to Audubon Park," Drew Brees said. "As the first fully inclusive playground of its kind in New Orleans, we wanted to create an experience where people of all ages and abilities can play side by side.
