About the Park
Cabrini Playground is a 1.5-acre fenced park in the French Quarter featuring a children's playground, grassy multi-purpose field, covered pavilion, shade trees, and a rose garden. It serves as a de facto off-leash dog area despite official leashed requirements, fostering community for dogs, children, and residents. Amenities are community-maintained, including plastic chairs and poop bags.
infoWhat to Know Before You Go
Cabrini Playground is fully fenced, so your dog can run and play off-leash without worry. This makes it a great choice for dogs still working on recall or for owners who want extra peace of mind.
Best of all, Cabrini Playground is completely free to visit — no membership or daily fees required.
