Crescent Park

Riverside walkway at Crescent Park along the Mississippi in Bywater

Bywater

This riverfront park stretches along the Mississippi through the Bywater and Marigny, offering some of the best unobstructed skyline and river views in the city. Locals come to jog, walk dogs and watch the ships go by, often crossing the arched ‘Rusty Rainbow’ pedestrian bridge to get in. It is free and rarely crowded, a quiet counterpoint to the Quarter.
