Travel and Hotel Accomodations
The facility has a private, secured parking lot at Southern Oaks Plantation. This is accessed by driving through the entrance gate and alongside the mansion to the rear of the property. The lot can accommodate about 100 vehicles. Overflow parking is available on the easement along the south side of Hayne Boulevard and on the residential streets behind the parking lot.
Guests coming from the downtown area that choose to arrive or depart from the Southern Oaks by taxi should phone 20-30 minutes before. (Even more time may be required if a festival is taking place downtown.)
Take the Crowder Boulevard exit, number 242 on I-10. Head toward the lake upon exiting (which is a left turn if coming from downtown or Metairie, and a right turn if coming from Slidell or Mississippi). After about one mile, Crowder Boulevard ends at Hayne Boulevard, where you can take either a right or left turn. Turn left onto Hayne. Southern Oaks Plantation will be on your left side 1/3 of a mile. Easy!
