Parks, New Orleans: 13 reviews and 21 photos
This park can be seen from most of the French Quarter when looking down streets running perpendicular to the River. It is most noticable at night due the huge twinkling sign at its entrance. Some guides will tell you that the park is dangerous and/or that there is nothing to see here, but I have always found it to be quite pretty and quiet compared to the noise of the Quarter. The Park is home to what was once Congo Square, the famous Sunday gathering place of the African slaves who once lived in New Orleans. You can also find the Mahalia Jackson Theatre of Performing Arts here. And even though I have never found it to be dangerous here, it still may not be a good place to go at night.
