Project D proposes using multiple green infrastructure elements to create a stormwater park. Across the 8 acre site, a stormwater detention tank will be installed underground, rain gardens and detention ponds will be constructed above ground to create a space that acts as a community gathering space to beautify the area allowing residents to connect with nature. A similar project is under construction at the Mirabeau Water Garden in Gentilly, and can also be seen at Gretna City Park in Gretna.

The image with the green hexagons is from the drainage model and shows the improvements gained from implementing the potential project. As you can see, the benefits are not restricted to the area around the project, but cascade through the drainage system as a whole.
