    Samuel Square should be a set of great pocket parks, but instead they are just good. As always the…read morecity does not keep them up like they should. The downtown park used to have a beautiful oak tree at its center which collapsed (over the course of the summer) due to termite infestation. The uptown side does have kid equipment that seems to be in good repair. My only real criticism besides general upkeep...is for the other dog owners. Bring a bag! No one likes their kiddies to step (or worse) in mess. Really, I'd say these parks are a 3.5 so I'll round up since my pup is so gleeful while chasing sticks there.

    Not all green spaces are created equal, and Samuel Square is no exception. Located smack in the…read moremiddle of Uptown and bisected by Naploeon Ave I refer to these two spaces as "the mirror parks" because they face each other across one of the busiest thoroughfares in New Orleans. On the west side there is a smattering of old school swings, an awesome metal slide, a ginormous oak, a local fruit vendor ("the fruit man") M-F 9-5 and oodles of flat grass covered park. There's also a sizey palm like 60-80 ft tall that is home to many green parrots. On the east side there's flat, grass covered space framed by mature crepe myrtles and an old out of commission full length basketball court. What prompted me to write this review was just this last week the court has been adopted by skaters - real deal skateboard skaters. Awesome. Since Katrina Samuel Square has received more positive use than ever. All levels of grade school football practice here as do 20 something kickball leagues. And now skaters! And I applaud it. I bring my kids here all the time, but I wish my property tax dollars would better maintain the equipment and site.
