Washington Artillery Park

It’s a small raised area with stairways in the front off of Decatur St and smaller stairs leading up to it from behind, on the Mississippi River side.

Even though it’s fairly simple to see, it does provide a fantastic view of Jackson Square and the St. Louis Cathedral! Also, you will be facing just shy of the sunset, which gives you even more of a reason to check it out during the evening hours!

This is a fantastic place to visit during the sunset. You can enjoy a great view of the river and the Jackson Square with the Saint Louis Church as background. If you are lucky then some musician could be performing some instrument and you can enjoy the music and the landscape. Many tourists from everywhere. Don't forget to take great pictures.

Known for its festive spirit of the Mardi Gras and vibrant nightlife. New Orleans has a lot more to offer. The rich history and beauty are almost mystical. In particular, Washington Artillery Park and Jackson Square. Even though not considered entirely safe for travelers, it remains a personal preference. During our time spent cycling, around the remarkable landmarks reduced possible risk, and make short stops to take in the beauty.
A definite thumbs up in my book and most certainly a revisit.

Beautiful park and nice view the bridge and Mississippi River. Love to walk around listening street singers, shopping….

Great spot to watch the sunset, sunrise, and people watch in between. The park overlooks the Mississippi River on one side and Jackson Square on the other. You'll regularly find street performers in the area and the smell of Cafe du Monde in the air.

On your Tourist bucket list - we had a great visit on nice warm n sunny day, great visibility.

Fun park with street vendors, artist, and performers. Lots of history. Good place to rest your feet.
Across the street from Moonwalk, Cafe Du Monde, and Hop on Hop off Sightseeing City Tour. Down the street from French Market. In French Quarter.

Great views over the water. Lots of good information out here. A short walk from cafe du monde so grab yourself some coffee and beignets and take a stroll through this wonferful park. Tons of artwork and there was even a live performance while we were there.

Great spot for pictures, especially during sunset.

Beautiful must see spot; grab local beneigh at cafe de mond and enjoy the scenery here. Great live music and horses to take photos with

Beautiful view! Of the Mississippi River and the park.

Great views of the river, and Jackson square. A nice place to sit on a bench, soak up the sights, and listen to street performers.

Fun place to see especially at night. Great view of the Mississippi (and the river boats) and Jackson Square and Saint Louis Cathedral.

Come by here if you’re touring around!! Many performers, a great view. Just know if someone asks you they know where you got your shoes, the answer is: On your feet.

Love it! An iconic place in the French quarter, if you love American history then, you can't forget to visit this site.

Had A Blast for New Years, great place, great people. Lots of fun a must go if you've never been!

Awesome place!!! Really nice view

Eat your beignets here. Great view of river and church. Also. Your shoes are on your feet if anyone asks..

Small area to check out a monument and views of the river boats on one side and French Quarter on the other.

Very pretty!
