Palmer Park

Updating this to say that after a few more months in the neighborhood and as our little guy has grown into the equipment we have really come to appreciate this wonderful resource. I’m particularly fond of the scavenger hunt game that allows the little kids to scout the playground for symbols and colors. Such a smart idea.
We’ve really enjoyed getting to know the regulars and always having an impromptu play date when the weather clears and everyone has been house bound.
Months later — still fabulous!

Nice park. They usually have a fair on the last Saturday of the month but had it early for the Christmas shopping season. They had a band playing that was pretty good and several food vendors with tasty options. It was a touch cold but they still had sno balls there which were real delicious!

Nice park. It seems I’m always hoping there is a drinking fountain, and now can’t remember if there is. I think not. But this is a quaint neighborhood park and there is an awning over the playground, which my friends with kids appreciate. Fun art market once month!

Palmer Park provides those in the neighborhood with a small playground, green space & traditional park benches, a walking path around the perimeter (3 laps = 1 mile), and access to the St Charles streetcar and NORTA buses. There’s an Arts Market hosted by the Arts Council of New Orleans that occurs during the last Saturday of each month.

Palmer Park has a really strong group of advocates who over see the care and activities in this central location.
Once a month, usually the 2^nd weekend of each month, there is a festive arts, crafts, & food fair, which often includes live music. The fair is very popular in the immediate & surrounding neighborhoods. The best way to come is by St Charles Streetcar.

I love green space! This is a neat park with a great playground for the kids, lots of park benches, and right at the end of the street car line plus a bus stop! It is conveniently located across the street from Walgreens and Robert’s so you can grab a bite to eat or drink and enjoy it in the park.
Plus they have the local arts market once a month, I think the last weekend of the month where there are tons of tents with local artists and their artwork and wares! It’s also a well-​maintained park which is nice!
Happy Park Relaxing!

Nice little park right off the road. We always look for parks with swings.

Nice park, usually not over crowded. Good place to go and read a book or just sit back and relax.

Palmer Park is pretty awesome. They have a very nice playground, which my daughter is in love with. It took her all of 5 seconds to master the mini rock-​climbing wall and she kept going back for more.
A clean park with lots of parking around the perimeter, located near the streetcar line.

Palmer Park has a brand new jungle gym for the kiddies and it’s pretty impressive. Lots of fun interactive parts as well as traditional slides and swings. And the park is kept so clean by the neighbors (and the Arts Market folks). Really a lovely spot.
