The St. Anthony Avenue Trail (alternately known as the St. Anthony Fitness Trail/ St. Avenue Walking Path) is a neighborhood walking and biking trail in the Gentilly neighborhood of New Orleans. Rather than sitting on one side of the street or the other, the trail is nestled within the grassy median. It's a straight-shot, leading from Mirabeau Avenue to Leon C. Simon Drive, where users can access Benjamin Franklin Hugh School as well as the University of New Orleans campus. Aside from acting as a commuter path to the schools, the trail also gives residents an opportunity to get outside and get some physical activity in.
Note that there are several street intersections along the trail route. While there are stop signs for vehicles, be sure to approach these crossing points with caution.
On-street parking is available on St. Anthony Avenue. Always follow posted parking rules.
This is one of the oldest in the city; an earlier member of the Morrell dynasty helped install it. But it has not been repaired or updated to fit new traffic safety standards. It’s probably fine to walk. Don’t try a wheelchair or bike. Hopefully this old beauty will be fixed one day.
