–1 star for being a duplicate entry to the colloquial name for this park, the fly( ). Notice that the common name has over 20 reviews, while the proper name only 1… OK, now 2. This is a great spot to watch the river float by and to play on a jungle gym or to watch kids play sports(soccer, baseball, etc). Sunday nights are cruise night so don’t get caught in the traffic. Also, I’ve heard reports that they may close access down for months to work on the levees.

Avenger Park is located behind Audubon Zoo. Take River Drive behind the zoo and cross the railroad tracks. Also known as «The Fly» or «The Butterfly». The Fly is a great place to see the river. It has viewing stands and steps down to the water(DONOTGETIN!!! DANGEROUS!!!) On a good day, you will be around about a hundred people picnicking, fishing, playing with dogs, playing soccer, studying or just having a good time. Also, as you drive along River Dr., you will pass behind the zoo. Sometimes you can see the giraffes above the fence. I recommend to anyone to go to The Fly on a nice day, but it is a must for people from out of town who want a close up view of the Mississippi River.
