Description
Small gravel parking lot at the trailhead to Couterie Forest in City Park, NOLA. No toilets or services, but really quiet once the sun set, except for some road noise, and no street lights. Privacy in the middle of a city? Unheard of. City Park is really beautiful, and only a short drive to downtown. The south end of the park has public restrooms, and. also some nice gardens, restaurants, sports fields and playgrounds. If you drive in to the downtown area, park in the Garden District along a residential area off St. Charles St. and Magazine St. You can catch a trolley on St. Charles that will take you into the French Quarter and back to your car, 24 hrs/ day, $1.25.

Stayed one night in our Promaster without issue. Cars pulled in and out of the lot all night and roosters started crowing at 4am, so it wasn’t a great night, but it is close to the city.
Report Check-InTried to stay for a night. Lots of cars in and out of the small lot throughout the night. It’s either a hookup spot or a place for everyone to hotbox. I pulled out at 2 am with cars still leaving and entering....
Report Check-InNo park for overnight but you can park your car or not too long VR in the neighbourood during the day, it's safe and free, then take tramway 48 to go to the French Quarter, it's 1,50$ and around 30mn.
Report Check-InI’m from New Orleans. I’m not sure about this spot. When I saw it on here I was surprised and tempted to try it. Maybe I will since I live close and if I get kicked out, I can just go home. Also, I happened to be over there earlier today and saw someone scoping it. I don’t want people to be disappointed. City Park police patrol may ask you to leave. Honestly I don’t think it’s a reliable spot. Maybe come in super late at night if you do. I’m also interested in trying the Morning Call parking lot, it’s a 24 hour beignet place but it may actually make you more conspicuous, not sure. I’d say anyone who is trying to sleep near the park you probably want to park on the grass next to the bayou on Wisner Blvd. I’ll attach a photo.
