Cabrini Playground — Attraction in New Orleans

Right when I got there, my little buddy had to poo, but there were no bathrooms:( if you’re going to build a playground for children, I think it should be considered that children will for sure have to potty during their time there, and since it’s in the French Quarter, it’s not like there’s An abundance of public restrooms. I had to take him to a local restaurant and buy a drink and just hope and pray he didn’t have an accident while looking for a restaurant. I’m sure the thinking behind this, was that homeless people would use the facilities, so in that case, put a couple of Port o potty’s out. Unsightly, but if well maintained, could work and I think that would eliminate the potential problem of homeless people or street people from using a bathroom for purposes other than relieving themselves.

A large playground for kids that doubles as a dog park. It is easily the best park for Dogs in the city we have found so far! With the outrageous rules and elitist feel of "City Bark", Cabrini offers a more down to earth environment for Man's, Woman's, or gender neutral's best friend.

Overall if you need a safe space to allow your pups to roam and be social with their own kind, give this park a 20 min and you'll fall in love just...

Be aware that this is a dog-friendly Park and though there are posted leash rules they are rarely followed. Fortunately, there's a pretty large open field area and the dogs and owners all know to stick to that. Besides, who doesn't want to watch a dog play fetch for 20 minutes during their...
