“celebrating the origin & genre of jazz”
Only in New Orleans could there be a National Park for jazz! Drop by our visitor center at 961 N Peters St (in Dutch Alley) to learn from a ranger talk, participate in a drum circle, enjoy a jazz concert, or inquire about musical events around town. There's no better place than New Orleans for a world class musical experience!
We arrived just in time for the Ranger talk. Ranger walked us through the history of Jazz music and Jazz influence on the city. Ranger was a talented artist and he played the pieces on the piano for us. Talk was informative and engaging. Plus 45 minutes of free A/C in the summer in New Orleans can't be beat. Our girls did the Jr Ranger books. Ranger was very interactive with them. Great stop
The park is on a beautiful site. We were surprised at the condition of the buildings and the lack of upkeep on this park. We talked to some folks who were walking through and found out that the park was damaged by Hurricane Katrina and there has been no financial support to renovate this historical park. We were very saddened that preserving the history of jazz in New Orleans has not a priority.
