Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near New Orleans

⚜Ian • August 15, 2014Beautiful park with plenty of shade to be found under magnificent oaks. Lots of paths for running and biking and rentals of all sorts of people-powered vehicles for land or water

Em L. • October 3, 2010A beautiful urban park with a nice jogging trail, many gorgeous live oaks, and safe and clean playgrounds for the children.

Kimmie O. • June 5, 2022Lovely park with scenic views. Great place for people watching. You’ll find plenty of artists and painters around here.

Jenny M. • May 19, 2014Loved walking around! So many neat sculptures and so many things to see!

Roderick F. • March 5, 2016Live music here is always great never a shortage of food vendors or drinks

Ryan E. • November 13, 2018Small park in the Central Business District that's a great space during all seasons. Mardi Gras parades pass by in winter, festivals are in spring and fall, and in summer it's a great place to relax.

Tiffany B. • May 3, 2016Great for photos, and super easy to get to from Audubon Zoo, Park, or The Fly.

Cole T. • June 12, 2017Pretty and scenic. Climbing the bridge is part of the experience, definitely worth it; especially when on a run!

Hadi • March 24, 2017Cozy and kinda isolated spot… great to check out!

Robert B. • April 1, 2013A good photo op for the cathedral but a ton of street performances worth avoiding.

Jim C. • August 9, 2014Very peaceful. The train garden, a model of New Orleans, is amazing.

Daron Y. • January 30, 2019It's a relatively short trail. Close to the city center. You might be able to start your run from your hotel to extend the distance. There is plenty of parking around the place. No need to worry!

Kolbi B. • August 23, 2012Great place to work out, lay out or hang out :)

Scott G. • March 25, 2013Check out the annual Hogs for Cause food festival. 12,000 attendees last year, over 70 pit competitors and great live music. Cooks also offer up some local favorites; jambalaya, alligator sausage ...

Amy R. • October 28, 2017A must do. The garden district is much different architecturally from the French quarter and worth exploring. Guides help you navigate which streets have the best homes.

Kimmie O. • June 5, 2022Great park with plenty of history and plenty to admire!

Hubert M. • March 24, 2013Love chilling here with kids and the dog :)

Monk • February 9, 2013Awesome place to bring your dogs and let them be dogs. Just be careful letting them jump into the river. There's gators in dem waters!

Johmyrin J. • March 29, 2013Come catch a breeze! It'll change your life!
