Volunteers from Capital One Bank planted various flowers and spread mulch in several areas of New Orleans City Park. They planted 50 gingers, 80 knockout roses, and 75 cast-iron plants in the park's largest parking lot bioswale and café area. They also planted roses and spread mulch at the disc golf course. In total, 150 Capital One volunteers contributed 375 hours improving the park by planting vegetation and spreading 20 yards of mulch and 10 yards of gravel. Capital One has an ongoing partnership with City Park through investments, events, and volunteer service.

Capital One Bank has a long-standing relationship with
City Park and has made several investments in the park in
2013 alone. Local associates Karen Deblieux and Leigh
Thorpe serve as members of the board of both City Park
and Friends of City Park, respectively, leading capital
improvement efforts annually and providing financial
guidance whenever needed. Philanthropically, Capital One
Bank has invested in City Park's "Lark in the Park", and
"Celebration in the Oaks" fundraising events, and has
provided more than 150 hours of volunteer capital for the
planning, set-up and operations of both events.
Lastly, when a team of 150 Capital One Bank associates
from across our national footprint requested a volunteer
project in New Orleans, City Park was the obvious choice.
Associates planted necessary vegetation in two large areas
of the park, providing another 375 hours of service in
support of this local treasure.
