Crescent Park Dog Run
Free·Off-leash permitted
A free fenced dog run in the Kickabout section of Crescent Park, a 1.4-mile riverfront linear park along the Mississippi in the Bywater. The run sits beneath the crescent of skyline views with the river alongside, and the surrounding promenade is popular for leashed walks. It's the go-to off-leash option for Marigny and Bywater dog owners.
Why it made the list
Your dog gets free off-leash play with a Mississippi River and downtown skyline backdrop, then a long scenic leashed walk along the promenade.
Good to know before you go
The run is the designated off-leash area within Crescent Park; dogs must be leashed elsewhere in the park per New Orleans leash law, and owners must clean up. Posted run hours were not published on the page reviewed.
Practical notes
Sunset here is spectacular - plan your dog's play session around it.
The run is popular but small; weekday mornings are calmer.
