Six Flags never reopened after Hurricane Katrina, and the city inherited the abandoned park. Then-Mayor Ray Nagin's administration asked the Industrial Development Board -- which typically focuses on doling out economic incentives to real estate projects rather than owning property -- to take over title to the land.
Didn't jazzland close before Katrina? Like days before

Yeah. When the evac was called, they shut it down like every other business.

School was back in session and the park was closed during the week while school happens. So the park was closed M-F but operated on Sat-Sun every weekend. But, when it became evident Friday night that this Katrina could be a bad deal, they did not open for the weekend, as people were starting to evacuate and they had to secure the facility.
So the technical last day the park was open was Sunday, Aug 21, 2005.
