Have you seen the newly-expanded Riverfront Park in New Orleans? It officially opened in April 2026 and is a six-acre, $30 million project that creates a continuous, 2.25-mile stretch of open green space right alongside amazing vistas of the Mississippi River, and connecting Spanish Plaza to Crescent Park. It’s just a joy to walk along, taking in the river traffic, sitting on the lawns and you can even hitch up a hammock if you bring your own! So many of our Downtown properties (any in the Marigny, Bywater, French Quarter and Treme – you can filter your search here on this website) are just a couple of minutes’ walk from this awesome new green space, and it’s really going to come into its own as the weather cools, so start planning your trip (and which picnic supplies you’ll need!) now!
