Description

A.L. Davis Park, formerly know as Shakespeare Park, is located at the corner of Washington Avenue and LaSalle Street in Central City, New Orleans. Directly across the street from the former Magnolia/ C.J. Peete Public Housing Development, the park holds extensive historical and cultural significance within the context of the neighborhood and the city, but in recent years has lost value as a community amenity due to the lack of funding, maintenance and an associated growth in violent crime.
