Known forlinear parkgreenwayurban trailcommunity space
A 2.6-mile linear park and trail connecting the French Quarter to City Park, built on a former rail corridor. Great for cycling, jogging, and dog walking with public art installations and community gardens along the route. The greenway has become a genuine neighborhood connector and gathering space since opening in 2015. Shade is sparse in spots, so early morning visits are best in summer heat.
