Lafayette Square
The New Orleans downtown area welcomes Lafayette Square, a prized greenspace located in the heart of the Central Business District surrounded by towering office buildings and housing complexes. The 2.5-acre park is situated across St. Charles Ave from Gallier Hall, which housed the city government for over 100 years. -

City Park
Established on land donated to the City of New Orleans by John McDonogh, and formerly the site of the Allard Plantation, is another of the crown jewels of New Orleans, City Park.

Lafreniere Park
Located in Metairie just outside New Orleans, Lafreniere Park offers greenery and family fun in the heart of Jefferson Parish. The park hosts several larger events throughout the year, but year round, it is used for public greenspace, sports games, tournaments, and private parties. -
