Woldenberg Riverfront Park was established and opened to the public right before the 1984 World’s Fair. It is named after philanthropist Malcolm Woldenberg and has become the perfect spot for people to rest and take in some beautiful views after a day of exploring the nearby French Quarter.
There are ample benches and picnicking sites for you to relax in, people watch, and view the ships floating by on the river. You can also go on a walk, jog, or bike ride on the paved path winding by the Mississippi River. It’s not uncommon to see local street performers and musicians serenading visitors in the evenings and on weekends; the park also houses the main stages of the annual French Quarter Festival every April.
