"Almost all of New Orleans life is contained within this park—museums, golf courses, cafes and high-end restaurants, a stadium, waterways, and all that green space. The New Orleans Museum of Art and the accompanying sculpture garden are definite highlights, as is the Couterie Forest with its eight distinct ecosystems (and the city’s highest point, Laborde Mountain). Children will love the Carousel Gardens Amusement Park with its retro fairground rides—as well as the Louisiana Children's Museum—while adults can work up an appetite walking the great lawns before for dinner at the highly respected Ralph’s on the Park." - Paul Oswell

"The Green Easy New Orleans' green spaces run the gamut from City Park, which spans 1,300 acres and is the 6th largest urban park in the United States, to the city block-sized Jackson Square, a French Quarter gathering point for artists, musicians, and street performers. The former has walking trails, botanical gardens, and an open-air sculpture garden, plus tennis courts, an 18-hole golf course, and a mini-golf course, but most come to see the world's oldest grove of mature live oaks. Uptown's Audubon Park is frequented by walkers, joggers, and cyclists who make their way around the park's 1.8 mile loop—and it's also home to the Audubon Zoo."

"Numerous playgrounds, an amusement park, a hand-carved wooden carousel, paddle boat rentals, and a botanical garden are just a few of the offerings at this historic, 1,300-acre park. There are also tennis courts, running trails, and a stand of oak trees that date back 800 years. While the park was devastated by Katrina (it was almost completely submerged under water for weeks), locals banded together to resurrect it to its former glory and then some. "

Went during Christmas week and it's was simply such a beautiful place and amazing time. Lots of fun rides for both, adults and children and a great atmosphere. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting NOLA during the holidays season.

I was shocked to hear that City Park in NO is the second largest park in the US. It is just breathtakingly beautiful! And they have a Cafe Du Monde there that you don’t have to wait n 3 hours in line for. Go check it out you won’t be disappointed!!

A lovely park just outside the French Quarter with everything a city park should have: sports fields, pavilions, Storyland, sculpture park, etc. Glad we took the time to check this out. We only explored a very small section of the park and we were very pleasantly surprised! Nice to walk off some of those beignets calories!

Actually one of my favorite places from my trip to NoLa. You see everything beautiful in the biome: the romantic Spanish moss, the water, the birds. Lots of little spots to sit and watch. There's a sculpture garden, cafe, miniature train, all sorts of delights running through the park.

The Sculpture Garden at New Orleans City Park was a highlight of our visit to the city. Besides the more traditional pieces, they have some really fun and contemporary works-all of which are thoughtfully placed within the beautifully landscaped gardens. It’s definitely worth your time, and it’s free! (Be sure to cross under the bridge to explore both areas of the garden.)

My family and I went to 🎄 Christmas in the Oaks. It was so beautiful with all the lights and decorations . We also took the kids and ourselves to ride the carousel and other fun rides. So if you're from out town are just live around New Orleans go to City Park for Christmas in the Oaks.

Took the self-guided tour through City Park to see the Christmas lights. Complete kitsch, and at that, not even good kitsch. The "Celebration In The Oaks" event is a complete rip-off. However, City Park is beautiful and that is a consolidation that the money I spent for entry will be used to maintain the park. I would recommend it for a leisurely stroll or a jog.

A massive and very popular park with nearly every activity you can imagine for the whole family. A major art museum, huge sculpture garden, a huge children's museum and activity facility, paddle boats, Botanical Garden, etc.
