"The Celtic Cross Monument, located on the neutral ground between West End BLVD and Pontchartrain BLVD closer to the north end was erected and dedicated to the Irish laborers who built the New Basin Canal, a six mile water way that connected New Orleans to Lake Pontchartrain. It has a marble statue, spots to sit and several informational placards listing the contributions of the Irish to the city. It is quite the lovely spot to sit and reflect for a moment or two."
"Well worth a visit. It's hard to fathom the manual labor that was involved in building this canal, now park. The memorial is fitting and a nice tribute to the contributions of Irish immigrants. Five Stars!!!"
"Finally made it here in the whole place is fenced-in for construction"
