The Moonwalk Riverfront Park

"It was a fantastic New Year Eve here. Love the vibrant vibe."

"Pretty nice place to take a walk - as the name suggests, it overlooks the river Mississippi. It is super close to cafes, and the very happening part of the city, so that makes it cooler."

"We walked a stretch after dinner on a Friday in December. It was cool and quiet, and honestly quite peaceful. There are great views of the city skyline. It was raining off and on when we went so we didn't sit. Seems like a great area next to the French Quarter."

"At first the Moonwalk, named after New Orleans Mayor Moon Landrieu, seems like just a great place to walk along the Mississippi. A little closer look will reveal so much more. The paving replaced the original wooden planks at this once port. The architecture and landscaping disguises that this is part of the flood control system. The walk is atop a levy, lined with limestone on the riverside to prevent erosion. Massive iron gates at the entrances can be closed protecting the City during hurricanes. The street car system even runs through the area. A marvelous piece of engineering maintained by the Levy Board and the US Corps of Engineers. A wonderful free walk along the flood control system."

"This is one of my favorite places along the Riverwalk, not only does it provide wonderful views of the Mississippi River, Natchez River Boat, but it also places the City clearly in the background. There is also a wonderful 40 foot wide staircase that leads down to the river, perfect for taking in the sunrise or sunset."
