Very nice park to bring the kids to play, walk or visit the botanical gardens. From time to time there are special events like live music, which can be attended for free. Parking can be a challenge for such an event, as it's usually packed. There are also tennis courts, which can be rented for a reasonable fee. Courts are good quality, they are maintained and there are lights on all the courts. Tennis courses are available for kids and the pros actually work with them.

This park is absolutely beautiful. It's good for kids, they have multiple play areas. They have a running track for exercising. It's very picturesque, so it's great for a photo shoot. There's various other attractions as well. I'd add this place to your New Orleans visit for sure.

Woldenberg Park is just a really cool place to hang out and relax. It's a giant open air green space with some benches along the pathway that face the Mighty Mississippi. Sit back, bring a picnic and watch the cargo & cruise ships go by. Though sometimes festivals are hosted here. And that raises the cool factor. Lastly when done, just meander down to Cafe du Monde as is just a short journey.

Perfect place to go for a run/walk or to sit and watch the boats go by. There are a few street vendors and a few homeless folks but not enough to distract from the overall pleasantries of the park. If you’re in the mood for something heavier I highly recommend visiting the Holocaust memorial here.

Right at the end of the streetcar line on Carrollton Avenue Palmer Park. They have a classic Archway and a war memorial in the middle but the real attraction is the very clean playground. There are lots of young children in the neighborhood and it's a great place to bring kids or to sit on the bench and relax. There's often art markets and food festivals in the park. And it's close to a supermarket in Walgreens if you want to have a picnic.

A great outdoor park to relax- walk- jog, or just walking your dog- nice park connecting 4 bus route, and the street car.
