Visit New Orleans: City Park

If you're looking for some outdoor fun in New Orleans, look no further than City Park.  The 1300-acre park has something for everyone.  Whether you're interested in hiking, bird-watching, fishing, golf, art, or just looking for somewhere to dine, City Park is an ideal place to stop.  There is even an amusement park and museum on the grounds!

We first stopped at Couturie Forest, where we hiked an easy trail and the kids climbed trees.  

We then drove a bit to Big Lake, where we walked the paths, and the kids climbed even more trees.   

City Park is indeed expansive.  The grounds around the lake alone are immense, as many people were picnicking, jogging, relaxing, pedal-boating, and even duck-watching!

It's too bad we didn't have more time to explore all that City Park has to offer, but it was still a lovely visit!
