Val Reiss Park is a 33-acre recreational complex that sustained an estimated 10 feet of flood water throughout the park as a result of levee breaks during Hurricane Katrina. The original facility consisted of four baseball fields, one football/soccer field, a remote control car track, a gazebo, two concession stands, a rental hall and on-site parking. FEMA has obligated almost $10.5 million for permanent work on the facility. FEMA/Manuel Broussard
