Sankofa Wetland Park and Nature Trail
Sankofa Wetland Park and Nature Trail is a public park in the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Construction of the park began in 2017 and is ongoing as of 2026. Once completed, the park will be 42 acres (17 ha), extending from Dubreil Street to Tennessee Street along Florida Avenue. The park is part of community and municipal efforts to revitalize the neighborhood and promote economic development following damage from Hurricane Katrina, as well as prevent future damage from flooding. Current plans include a 10-acre wetland pond, nature trails, picnic areas and a multi-use bicycle trail. The park is also used as a space to host community events, and is a popular spot for birders hoping to see rare species.
