Description: Westwego, a former passageway for pioneers headed west. Westwego is home to John A. Alario Event Center and Bayou Segnette Sports Complex.
Once a passageway for pioneers headed to the Western frontier, Westwego borders some of Louisiana's most picturesque bayous and swamps. Westwego's adjacent 580-acre Bayou Segnette State Park is a great escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. Nestled on the banks of Bayou Segnette, the park's extensive grounds comprise the most popular state park in Louisiana.
It is also home to the John A. Alario Event Center and Bayou Segnette Sports Complex , developed for conferences, tournaments and performance events.
The City of Westwego is the launching point for several swamp tours and bayou excursions. If you're looking for the best seafood around, look no further than the "locally" famous Westwego Shrimp Lot. Find fresh crabs, fish, shrimp and more. You can even see the shrimp boats docked just a few blocks away!
