About our rating systemThis newish, river-hugging green space paralleling the Marigny and Bywater neighborhoods is ideal for a picnic, run, or walk, or just to get a different perspective on New Orleans. That starts as you cross the enormous, rust-colored steel arc, aka the Piety Street Bridge (aka the Rusty Rainbow), to reach the park. Or access it via the less dramatic, wheelchair-accessible Mandeville Crossing closer to the French Quarter. From the freshly planted and paved paths, the French Quarter is a mysterious, distant vision; from the expansive waterfront stage set amid decayed wharves, the area’s industrial legacy nips at the heels. Watch for concerts and other events at this substantial, welcome space.
