Morris F.X. Jeff Sr. Park Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2025 season

New Orleans' first public splash pad sits beside the George V. Rainey Natatorium in Algiers, so families can pair spray-ground time with the indoor pool next door. Admission is free through the NORD recreation system.

When to go. Peak summer highs in New Orleans average 92°F. Mornings and late afternoons are far more comfortable than the middle of the day, and shade is worth planning around.
