Confirmed from Goldring Woldenberg Riverfront Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Riverfront park with 16 acres of green space, jogging paths & Mississippi river views.

Woldenberg Park is a true gem. Along the Mississippi River, this beautiful park offers great views, a tranquil atmosphere, and plenty of activities to enjoy, especially in peak season. You can take a leisurely stroll along the riverwalk, sit in the shade, and watch the boats float by.
Beautiful park set on the edge of the river. From there, you can watch the boats float by and the sunrise ripple on the water. The place is quiet in the early morning with just a few joggers and walkers. A nice stretch of riverwalk lets you stroll for quite a while, and the whole area is pretty clean and cared for.
This was a nice park. I didn't see much of the park itself because I was attending the French Quarter Festival. The waterfront view of the park was really nice as well as being able to take a stroll in the boardwalk.
This park is really nice! New renovations were made for Woldenberg Riverfront Park, so there’s alot of upgrades they made inducing a nice playground set for kids and additional swings. As of right now, the area is really clean. It’s a good place to run, bike, or just hang out while looking at the nice riverfront views.
