Emancipation Park Conservancy seeks to empower the Third Ward community and beyond through financial education and resources offered through our many strategic partners. We understand the importance of education surrounding this topic amongst our community. Our goal is to offer a variety of programs, courses and classes geared towards economic education and empowerment that ensure our community can become great stewards and take control of their financial life and legacy.
Experience the rich history and heritage of Emancipation Park and explore its thoughtful architecture and state-of the art recreational facilities. Can’t make it to the park?
