An amazing historical site. A LOT of history. If you love historical facts this is a great place to visit!!! Alot of tours come through, but book one with All About Dat Tours LLC.
Louis Armstrong park is great for a stroll. It’s clean and open. There are several little signs with information and sculptures that educate on the history of the park and surrounding areas. Very cool!
The park is a memory of Louis Armstrong.
Nice park for a little tour and rest .
We went for the 4 July and there was the essence festival on with events all around the city!
In the park was some nice music, food and drink to refresh in a hot day!

Soulful Retreat at Louis Armstrong Park, New Orleans
Louis Armstrong Park in New Orleans is a captivating oasis that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of this vibrant city. Stepping into the park felt like entering a realm of tranquility, where the echoes of jazz and the essence of New Orleans' culture converge.
The park's lush green spaces provide a welcome escape from the bustling streets, offering a serene environment to unwind and reflect. The sculptures and artistic installations pay homage to the city's rich history and its legendary figures, like Louis Armstrong himself.
The ambiance is further enriched by the rhythmic melodies of live music that often grace the park. As a music lover, I was enchanted by the performances that seemed to breathe life into every corner. The fusion of sounds and the palpable sense of community create an unforgettable experience.
The park's unique charm extends to the stunning Congo Square, a historical site that resonates with the echoes of the past. Learning about its significance and the gatherings that took place there added depth to my visit.
Louis Armstrong Park is more than just a park; it's a living testament to the heart and soul of New Orleans. Whether you're seeking a peaceful stroll, a cultural immersion, or simply a place to revel in the magic of jazz, this park offers an enriching experience that's not to be missed.

We found Louis Armstrong Park to be a wonderful spot to walk, explore and celebrate the legends of jazz. Acres of grass, shade trees, water and benches. Several very nice sculptures of Buddy Bolden, Sydney Bechet and Louis Armstrong. Towards the back are several historic buildings in varying states of repair. A very worthwhile place to see.
Armstrong Park is one of my favorite places in the world. This park is filled with history and culture. And Congo Square, inside Armstrong, is a great place to feel ancestral energy. You can catch all kinds of events here as well. Participate in the Sunday evening drum circles, or join the annual Maafa, leave offerings at the ancestral tree…this is just a wonderful place!!!
In A Nutshell:
-Louis Armstrong Park was just okay.
-It has lot of open spaces, but the water in the pond was pretty green & murky.
-I did notice a big turtle enjoying life swimming around.
-I came during the middle of the week so it was pretty quiet walking around.
Overall, I was slightly disappointed in this park, I was hoping it would have more life & activity like other parks in popular cities around the USA & world.
