Cleveland and Poydras Playgrounds, 1912
In 1912, the children of the Cleveland Playground held two penny parties which raised nearly $75 for their
playground. Cleveland also sponsored sewing classes and basketball and indoor baseball teams. The
Poydras Playground was the smallest of he city's playgrounds, but its children raised $114.50 in
1912 through a benefit at the Lafayette Theatre. The Commission used the money to improve the facility
and had $85 leftover, which it planned to use to buy river sand from the Levee Board.
