United States Louisiana New Orleans
Ponchartrain Park
A historic suburban development established in 1955, designed as a middle-class African American community around a golf course post-desegregation.
Tips from the community
Pontchartrain Park is in the Gentilly neighborhood on the banks of both a canal leading through the city and Lake Pontchartrain. It is about 1 square mile and encompasses a few lakes to hang out by, a golf course, a ballpark, and a historic neighborhood. Southern University at New Orleans also borders the park.
