Lovely huge tree walkway that finally provided some shade on this very warm walking tour in June. Benches under the trees available.

I found the Greenway because it was only a couple blocks from a hotel where I was staying. It begins at the Mississippi River/Old State Capitol area and stretches along North Boulevard for a significant distance, but not too far for a pleasant walk. Lovely branches arch over the dirt path. Bicycle and foot traffic have designated lanes. Along both sides, across the boulevard, are attractive homes and office buildings that represent many of the styles associated with the Louisiana's history: French- and Spanish-inspired, but also traditional Southern, Art Deco, etc. I walked for perhaps half an hour on a day when it was 95º. Although it was hot, there was plenty of shade. This was much nicer than spending the afternoon at the hotel.

This new park strip Downtown adds a surprising amount of greenspace to North Boulevard, and provides a lovely walking trail to reach downtown from Beauregard Town or from further away. It's a nice spot to walk through the trees, but it's only useful if you happen to be going that way anyway; it's not the type of place you'd seek out on its own.
