    Lovely park with a great view of the river. I would definitely recommend to go here for sunset. We’ve done this multiple times and have never been disappointed. You can sit down on the grass and watch the stars rise in the night sky. Very peaceful and serene place.

    Beautiful views!! Great place to walk and watch the ships go by on the Mississippi! There are public bathrooms but there are very few.

    The Fly is the perfect place to visit when the weather is nice. It's kind of like an extension to Audubon, but less crowded (usually) and with a view of the river. You'd be hard pressed to find a better spot to put up a hammock or bring the dogs, and if you live/stay close by, running through the park feels incredible with the cool breeze coming off the water.

    Awesome park. Loved being by the water with shade and a light breeze. Tons of families out having fun, the energy was great and it felt both safe and stunning in it’s collection of trees and sunshine.

    Hard to find with one way streets. Nice view peaceful way to watch ships on Mississippi.

  • 5/5 Mayank S. 1 year ago on Google
    Spendid, had great views for sunset. Do get a mat and a fly repellent if you plan on spending some time there.

  • 5/5 Rahul V. 9 months ago on Google
    Most amazing sunset experience in Nola

  • 5/5 Sawyer G. 1 year ago on Google
    A totally awesome and beautifully wide range view of the Great Mississippi River. This has to be one of, if not the best view out of all the places that host this ages old, yet still amazingly beautiful, forever gracefully flowing, powerful, and most respected body of water.

  • 5/5 Nicole G (. 11 months ago on Google
    It is an absolutely beautiful park, a very relaxing place for a picnic or just to read a book under a tree sitting next to the river. Great soccer fields as well

  • 5/5 Carlos P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to watch the river, people and photograph outdoor projects.

    Nice park with good kid structure but hectic. Lost sight of my kid and had a panicked moment until I spotted him on the swings. There are lots of trees to play around but it also blocks line of sight. Its also got a small hint of new Orleans grunge.

  • 4/5 A b. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to go to watch the sunset and relax with friends. I’m surprised more people don’t access it. It is such a nice treat and hidden part of New Orleans. Are.

    Love the "FLY". Family park. Great for birthday parties, picnics, sports and relaxation.

  • 5/5 Dennis G. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice view of the river and cool to see boats go by!

  • 5/5 Katie Kiefer T. 1 year ago on Google
    The best place to watch the river boats go by and see the sunset in New Orleans! Peaceful and serene place during the week normally, sometimes the weekends get a bit crowded, but still amazing.

  • 5/5 Cleandrew O. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a beautiful place for family and friends. There's plenty of activities and friendly people. The bathroom facilities are always clean and the view from the bank is great. I'm thinking of going to fish there later this week.

  • 5/5 LovinLivin N. 2 years ago on Google
    The Fly, as the locals call it. Great riverside park, can get a little crowded in the main areas on beautiful weekend days, but it's a big park, so plenty of room if you just keep looking. Also remember that you have to cross the tracks to exit, so watch for the trains if you have someplace to be. It can take a few minutes for them to clear.

  • 4/5 Michal J. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice park along the Mississippi River. Good for dog walking, bencv sitting, grass lying and game playing.

  • 5/5 Juan Carlos R. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place for rest Only the problem is when the Black Kids run the motorcycles and sport cars , no respet the People walking and run very close from the parking cars

  • 4/5 Regina R. 2 years ago on Google
    Given a break from the cold weather, a stop by the Riverview was much needed. The view was serene, the weather was real nice and I could smell boiled seafood in the air.... its a NOLA thing!

  • 5/5 Triege LaChiel V. 2 years ago on Google
    Relaxing views. Clean. Great for family fun and relaxing. Pet friendly. ❤

  • 5/5 Debbie W. 3 years ago on Google
    Finally felt safe enough to visit our kids in New Orleans and was driven around to places I didn't even know existed, this being one of them, was awesome!!!

  • 3/5 Charles S. 2 years ago on Google
    Went got the train and enjoyed the view. Lots of shade to escape a hot and humid day. There is a lot of grafitti and trash that takes the experience down a few notches.

  • 5/5 Marvin B. 2 years ago on Google
