Washington Square Park

  • Address: Bordered by Royal, Dauphine, and Frenchmen sts. and Elysian Fields, Faubourg Marigny, New Orleans, LA | Map It

Fodor's Review:

This park provides a large green space in which to play Frisbee or catch some sun. During the recovery period following the storm, relief groups created a campground here, offering free food and music. The far side of the park borders Elysian Fields, named for Paris's Champs-Élysées. Though it never achieved the grandeur of its French counterpart, Elysian Fields is a major thoroughfare. Small-scale festivals or events sometimes take place in Washington Square, which is the only city public space with a French-style double alley of oaks.
