About Legacy Park

The Legacy Park Project, a partnership among Downtown Development District, International High School New Orleans, NOLA Public Schools, American Society of Landscape Architects, Groundwork New Orleans, generous sponsors, and Downtown businesses and residents, transformed a portion of the IHSNO parking lot into a shared green space serving both the students and the surrounding community. The beautifully designed park incorporates storm water management features, an outdoor classroom with a flexible lawn and shaded outdoor seating.
