Bayou Segnette State Park

Bayou Segnette State Park is located in Westwego, Jefferson Parish, southwest of New Orleans, Louisiana, on the west bank of the Mississippi River. Bayou Segnette is not far from the urban center of New Orleans, yet it features access to two types of wetlands, swamp and marsh. Saltwater intrusion coming into the canals from the Gulf of Mexico created the marsh. This is a remarkable habitat for plant and wildlife. This habitat is home to American alligators, coypu, nine-banded armadillos, Virginia opossum, raccoons, American mink, red-tailed hawks, kites, red-winged blackbirds, bald eagles, and northern cardinals.

The John A. Alario Sr. Event Center, commonly shortened as the Alario Center, is a 2,400-seat multi-purpose arena in Westwego, Louisiana, USA. The facility was approved for construction in 1993, and opened in 1999. The arena was most notably used as the practice facility for the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans (formerly Hornets) from 2002 to 2013. The Alario Center features six hardwood courts under one roof. The Alario Center also hosts many annual sports events including AAU Boys Basketball tournaments, boxing matches, cheerleading/dance competitions, wrestling, professional wrestling, gymnastics meets and volleyball tournaments. There are also many non-sports events that are annually held at the Alario Center including the FIRST Robotics Competition Bayou Regional, the Governor's West Bank Luncheon, concerts, college graduation ceremonies and numerous sales & expos.On April 4, 2014, the venue hosted Supercard of Honor VIII, a professional wrestling event promoted by national wrestling promotion Ring of Honor (ROH). On February 19, 2022, it hosted No Surrender, promoted by Impact Wrestling.Because of the center's size and location in Jefferson Parish, many parish schools hold events there, including graduations. One such school is Patrick F. Taylor Science and Technology Academy. The Bayou Segnette Sports complex, which the Alario Center is part of also includes Segnette Field, a baseball stadium that is the home of the Loyola University New Orleans' Wolfpack baseball program. The Alario Center is named for the father of John A. Alario Jr., the dean of the Louisiana State Legislature.
