2 the lafitte greenway The Lafitte Greenway is a 2.6-mile public bicycle and pedestrian trail connecting six historic New Orleans neighborhoods from Armstrong Park to City Park. Opened in 2015, the Lafitte Greenway features sports fields, grassy lawns, 500 newly planted trees, energy-efficient lighting, and innovative stormwater management systems. The Lafitte Greenway transforms one of the city s most historic transportation routes--originally a canal and later a railroad right-of-way--into a multi-use transportation corridor and linear park.

Now, this annual event boasts over 750 hikers, and features live music, a guided tour, and a block party. AMBASSADORS Lafitte Greenway Ambassadors are area residents who act as stewards of the space, engage their communities to guide our work, and co-lead our programs and events. The Greenway is an example of how two short miles can encapsulate the essence of individual neighborhoods, culture, and the pulse of New Orleans... The possibilities are endless. -WENDY LAKER PAGE 5
