A beautiful peaceful park to walk and explore. Splattered with old majestic trees, some beautifully draped with Spanish moss which gives a feel for the area. Walk over to the water's edge and you will see people relaxing on the grass or lounged on hammocks. There are a lot of turtles and dragonflies to see.
Great park with humongous oak trees. It was beautiful here. There were gazebos and benches all along the pathway. A lovely lake with lots of great wildlife all around.
Beautiful as ever. Some stretches seem to have lost their live oaks. (Katrina?) Need to replant some live oaks - we need the shade.

Very clean and the workers we friendly and informative. Great place for family, dates, or some much needed personal time.. It is a bit pricey for the food and drinks but still a great place to hang out on a beautiful day
Most beautiful park I've ever visited. We took the St Charles streetcar here, and got off at the Tulane stop.
Well-maintained grounds, and a nice, relatively clean public bathroom as well.
We also walked down to the riverfront, and spent some time on the gazebo watching boats on the Mississippi at sunset.
