The governing body of any municipality or parish or ward may dedicate and set apart for use as playgrounds, recreation centers, or for other recreation purposes, any lands or buildings owned or leased by the municipality or parish, and not dedicated to another and inconsistent public use. The governing body may, in the manner provided by law for the acquisition of property for public purposes, acquire or lease lands or buildings within or beyond the corporate limits of the municipality or parish or ward for playgrounds, recreation centers or other recreation purposes. When the governing body so dedicates, sets apart, acquires, or leases lands or buildings for these purposes, it may, on its own initiative, provide for their equipment, maintenance and conduct according to the provisions of this Chapter, by making an appropriation therefor from any available funds.
