Laurence Square

Laurence Square has almost everything, really. Except a working water fountain. The mirror park akin to Samuel Square further up Napoleon brings as close to an A game as a New Orleans maintained public space can get. The play area for kids is amazing. The green spaces are open. Next to a library branch there’s a full b-​ball court often abuzz with pick-​up games which also happens to be adjacent to a police precinct no less. Additionally just across the street is Ms Mae’s if you get thirsty for adult beverages. It can be challenging to park given the enormity of things nearby. Also, almost ALL the Uptown parades roll right by here.
I would totally use this park much more if I lived closer.
