The riverfront park was a great place to stretch our legs, especially after beignets and coffee and the adjacent Cafe Du'Monde. The views of downtown New Orleans, being alongside the Mississippi River, the views across the river, and further down the river, all made for an enjoyable walk. This popular stretch is a great place to break away from the bustle of New Orleans.

Just South of the busy French Quarter is this peaceful small strip of grass near the river bank. The steamships Natchez and the City of New Orleans are moored there. Those are artifacts of past glories. There is also a monument dedicated to the numerous immigrants that came into the city. You can also get a good view of the Crescent City Connection in the background.

Very nice area. Walk along the river from the business district to the French quarter. There’s a lot of sculptures and things to see.

This is a nice park for a quiet break or peaceful stroll. Great location convenient to everything the French Quarter offers. Parking lot runs alongside it for easy access.

Stretching between the Mississippi River and the French Quarter, the Audubon Woldenburg Riverfront Park is a lovely sprawl of grassland. A good picnic spot, there are also views of the mighty Mississippi River and some sculptures, including the Monument to the Immigrant and a seated sculpture of Woldenburg himself, with a little child. Just the place for sitting and relaxing or, for the more energetic, jogging or even cycle-riding.
