A beautiful park , next to the Quarter, with canals and rolling grassy hills . Be sure to catch Jazz in the Park every Thursday (when in season) from 5-8pm. And don't forget to bring food for the ducks.

Jennifer Roman

So much history here. The symbolism of Congo Square inside a park named after on of most famous jazz musicians and how it's importance plays into the story of jazz is to be appreciated

Amanda Thomas

It's beautiful there. Great places to take pictures or just enjoy the view .

Ryan Eugene

Large park on the edge of the French Quarter . Popular venue for many festivals , starting place for races, and home to Congo Square where slaves would gather to play music and sell goods on Sundays.

Louis Armstrong Park is just the place to & have an awesome family picnic ! Plenty of sculptures to enjoy right on the waters edge. Located outside the french quarter to take a bike/hike over to it!

Small but interesting park named after one of the greatest trumpet player of all times

Rory Parness

Nice spot away from the crazy quarter. Grab a latte and hang with Louis

A lovely park with food vendors and trinkets deserves a Becherovka or two! Stick around for the Thursday Jazz in the Park concerts .

Sabrina Gates

Beautiful park ! Definitely take the time to walk through the entire thing.

Greg Stephenson

It’s a nice park but feels artificial. Not your typical nature filled park to relax in

Kristerpher Henderson

This place needs a lot of work. It’s almost eerie in a sense. Fun place to hangout if you are a teenager.
