Bayou Segnette or St. Bernard?

RE access to Bayou Signette or St Bernard - Bayou Signette is easier to access. With St Bernard you have to drive thru more of the city. Depending on the time of day that can be congested. Coming to Bayou Signette from the west is pretty painless.
Both parks are nice.
You should be able to park your C at the WWII Museum unless it's really congested. However, if you want to park near and visit the French Quarter you might have some problems finding a place to park. There are several large parking lots along St Peters/Decatur St in the FQ but they don't allow large vehicles, trucks with duals, or motorcycles. We park in them with our F-350 SWD, 4X4 with 8 ft bed which is 22 ft long but we have to watch where we park it to leave clearance. You might get lucky to find a metered spot along the French Market but you'll need to get there before 9 AM. You also might get lucky and find an metered on-street spot on Front St just east of the Weston Hotel.
