Audubon Nature Institute is celebrating the completion of a new park along the Mississippi River.
New Orleans city leaders joined Audubon Nature Institute leadership Tuesday to announce the opening of Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park.
The new six-acre park along the Mississippi riverfront in New Orleans opened Tuesday.
The new Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront features greenspace, a marsh-themed playground, and open-area meeting space called “NOLA Front Porch.”
Audubon Nature Institute worked with nationally known designers EskewDumezRipple and Hargreaves Jones to develop the six-acre park. It will provide New Orleans residents and visitors with access to the riverfront at Governor Nicholls for the first time in generations.
The name Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park honors the lasting impact of the Goldring Family and the Woldenberg Foundations, whose support has been instrumental in transforming the downtown New Orleans riverfront into a destination of public green spaces and cultural attractions, according to Audubon officials.
