Running almost the full length of the riverfront between the Bywater and Marigny for 1.4 miles, Crescent park covers 20 acres of reclaimed wharf and industrial space. The park has a dog run, two public parking lots, bike paths, two multi-use pavilions and two above grade crossings (including the iconic Rusty Rainbow designed by David Adjaye at Piety St). The park blends industrial and natural settings making a great spot to see local flora and fauna as well picturesque views of the city skyline
Park Hours listed by the City are 6:00 am- 7:30 PM every day.
There is a long term plan to continue the riverfront to the Moonwalk and Woldenberg park which both are adjacent to the French Quarter.
See the plan being implemented by Audubon Nature Institute.
