Nice place to visit in New Orleans away from the hustle bustle of the French and Canal street where we stayed. There is a street car going there from the canal street. The park is wide spread, a good cafe there and a few hundred years old oak tree. There were some ducks and birds around too. Good place to walk, relax and shoot some images too. If you like nature and greens, perfect place to visit. I went early in the morning and was bright and sunny.

Such a wonderful place with so many great activities all together in a vast space. My wife and kids loved it. The willow trees are beautiful. Can have some nice coffee in the park as well. Take the time out to go here. There is a sculpture garden that really has a nice veriety...very creative.

Nice interesting place. Vast open area, good for family picnic. But not for BBQ or on spot cooking. Lake has Gondola ride, swan paddle boat. Didn't go inside the building.

Gorgeous city park, free to visit. If you're coming from anywhere north it's worth a visit as the normal tree's are very different than public parks you're used to. Seems to be pretty well maintained. Restaurant's within walking distance, one inside the park. Very close to the art museum.

We took the trolley from French Quarter (Canal) to City Park, and it was a lovely break from the bustle of French Quarter. This public park is busy, but large enough to feel quiet and relaxing. We definitely did not get time to see everything on our list, but we enjoyed the art museum, swan boats, and historic oak forest a lot. The art museum is amazing ($20 ticket for non-LA residents) and much larger than it looks from outside. The Historic Oak Forest is gorgeous and has lots of fantastic photo opportunities. This park will be on our must-do list if we come back to New Orleans, and we'll be hitting the sculpture garden and bike rental first.

I can't speak highly enough of the city park, I was truly blown away by all the wonderful, fun, and amazing things to do. There is something for everyone, not to mention many beautiful sites. I easily could have spent all day there

Beautiful place to walk and take in the beautiful sights! Just a note of caution to other tourists: Had someone local yell and cuss me out when he thought he was in the background of my photo, although he wasn’t, and he just cussed even more when I tried to apologize and explain… he got ugly fast, but fortunately walked off. Other than that, the park seemed very pleasant and safe to walk through solo. Highly recommend checking out the sculpture gardens along with everything else here, you can spend an entire day and then some!

One of the most beautiful parks in the world!!! Interesting fact…City Park was once one large plantation. It is 50% larger than Central Park in New York. It is amazing. You can take gorgeous photos here for sure! There is so much fun to be had here…plus you can get beignets! By far one of the MUST experiences when in New Orleans!

Nice park with a good amount of grass and a beautiful lake. Next to some interesting cemeteries and the museum of art!

Very nice City Park. Like most of the New Orleans tourist areas, it is kept very clean and manicured. We were surprised of the diversity of water fowl this time of year. We have never seen the Crested Ducks before, even though having lived and traveled all along the East Coast. They are very territorial, and a pair spent all of their time chasing and violently biting any other birds that came within 5 yards of them in the lake.

My New Orleans City Park review is (shockingly) for the actual New Orleans City Park. I will review businesses within the park separately as applicable. The park is HUGE, so we did not see it all. However, we were in the area of the Singing Oak and the lake. The park was lovely, with a variety of plant life. The walking/biking trail was clean and fairly well maintained. There was one low spot between the road leading to the Art Museum and the trail that had water over it. It has rained every day this week, so that my be unusual? We saw one piece of trash. People were walking/biking/skateboarding on the path. People were friendly. Wheeled travelers kept to the right (as instructed by signage) and there was no drama or issues that we saw. The whole experience was pleasant (except for when I thought I could paddle a swan boat for an hour, but that was my fault and a different review. 😁

Kids had an excellent time. There is a small amusement park here called carousel park. Very affordable. ~$20/person. My kids absolutely loved it! Several fun rides very similar to a stationary state fair, except so the rides were included with admission. I do wish New Orleans took better care of the place and maybe subsidized it considering a big part of the park is city owned (outside the amusement park). It looks a tad aged, but even so it was totally worth the visit. They should advertise it more and clean up and make it a better known tourist attraction. Seems like a missed opportunity for New Orleans. The French quarters was fun and interesting for adults, but this place was a far better child friendly experience. They even had an additional “story park” that cost a little extra but is for toddlers and a little older who need parents to ride the rides. This is more jungle gym climbing and small cute houses that you read short stories at. This place could do very well if hailed as a tourist hotspot for people with children. Come on New Orleans, get it together. It’s an excellent investment that could aid in excellent returns.

Wow! What an incredibly beautiful place. From the giant Live oaks to the amazing free Sculpture Garden... In my opinion, City Park was even more fun than the French quarter. I would recommend getting there on the early side as It is much more quiet and peaceful. I am so impressed with the huge Sculpture Garden. Very creative, countless angles to see the beautiful sculptures. Parking is free, there are public restrooms, there is a playground for children, and of course if you enjoy the touristy deliciousness that is beignets from Cafe Du Monde, the service was fast and friendly and there was plenty of outdoor seating.

One of my favorite places in the city. It's not only beautiful, clean and easy to get to but very peaceful. I love that it's not just a park but there are so many things to enjoy including a restaurant, museums, both botanical & sculpture gardens, paddle boats,golf, a cute train that goes around the park for the kids, walking paths, a pond, the beautiful trees and so much more.

Beautiful amazing park... Trails to walk, a butterfly garden, a pretty bridge to walk over and a pond with swan peddle boats and kayaks... The Louisiana Children's Museum is here too, it's an absolute must do when in New Orleans!! One of the best city parks I've ever been to ❤️

What's not to like? You got the amazing oaks and a botanical garden that has beautiful flowers. There's a play area for the kids and a science museum. We even finished the day off with beignets. It's my first time going and I can definitely see why they had people running and bicycling as well. Plenty of parking made the trip easy as well.

City Park is a beautiful 1,300-acre public park. Offering a wide variety of actives to bring joy to everyone! From curved bridges, golf course, a variety of gorgeous botanical, food & sculpture gardens, park benches, tennis center, live oaks with Spanish moss, rugby field, black swans, art museum, football/soccer/baseball fields, water features, beautiful winding walkways, playground, the list goes on …

Beautiful landscape, lots of walking area and a cafe du mont on site. Filled with large Spanish moth on trees, resurrection plants, southern live oaks and even story land for kids. Great to relax and learn about plantation it was built on.

The city park was really big. Good place to running or jogging because it have a long track. There’s many place to come such as museum, garden, and stadium inside. It have many tree, quiet atmosphere with various animals

We went for Christmas lights celebration and it was a good time. I'd recommend it to anyone visiting during the Christmas season. The rides were very kid friendly and there were people walking around with pets as well. They served drinks in the botanical garden.

The largest city park in the country it"s great place to explore with my dog or take a 4am bike ride in the summer when it's too hot at any other time.

It was a beautiful day around 80 degrees and breezy - low humidity. We walked around and enjoyed the trees, wild flowers and the activity (family picnics). The Museum was busy although we didn't go there that day. City Park is a well needed break from the hustle bustle of the city.

We went to the botanical gardens here and it was so nice and peaceful! It was surpringly bigger than I thought it would be and there were many different sections to explore. We saw the main botanical garden, vegetable garden, japanese garden, etc. And this is definitely a nice place to take pictures. The entrance fee when I went was $10.

Spent a few hours here and went into the sculpture park which had a small $5 fee but was definitely worth it. A lot of interesting spaces and things to see. Would love to spend a whole day here sometime. If you get a bike, it would be really easy to see the whole park. Loved it. Also the swinging benches are so much fun.

The park is huge & kept up very well. A lot of awesome areas for kids to explore. I loved seeing Cafe Du Monde in the park!

The sculpture park was excellent. I enjoyed the variety and quality of items and they were in a very beautiful botanical setting. The path next to the pond was interesting, because it started at pond level and actually went below the water level as if it were a levee.

The Sculpture Garden was absolutely fantastic! There were a lot of beautiful pieces of art that really capture the city’s culture and history. The nature scenery was also very captivating and well maintained. If you’re in New Orleans this is a must see!

Extremely large park, and there's something to do for everyone. Very lively atmosphere with rivers, ponds, playgrounds, a golf course, gardens, museums, and plenty of trails. No shortage of parking spaces whatsoever.

Very nice place. Take a tram and go to the City Park and you will get a real pleasure. You can just walk or sit in the shade on a hot day. You can visit the art museum, you can ride a catamaran or a boat on the lake. First off all it is a beautiful and great place to spend a weekend with family and friends. Definitely recommended 👌

This place is a huge Gem in the city. Garden's and kids land with a rollercoaster! An art museum and statute garden. Football and tennis spaces. Seriously a wonderful place for the whole family to enjoy. Don't miss it.

So tranquil, this place, very beautiful. The price is not bad either. I loved the flowers and the bamboo trees. I'd like to visit again one day at night and see the lights lit up.

One of the cleanest and most peaceful parks. Given the size, they managed space well to include swan boat rides, accommodate runners, cyclists, lots of picnics, and good driving lanes for easy parking and pickup!! Some super scenic views and a great place to go for sunset watching before dinner!

Rented a car while in New Orleans and just happened upon this place. Such an amazing place. Cafe Du Monde had the only comfortable chairs of the entire trip. Very clean, friendly and peaceful. So much to see and do. Must add to “to do” lists

I love this beautiful and enormous park, with its magnificent ancient Live Oaks, flocks of waterfowl, pretty stone bridges crossing the water, long paved paths for walking or bike riding, art museum, history museum botanical garden, children's museum, "vintage" storyland, sculpture gardens and much more! There is so much to enjoy at City Park, and it's worth setting aside plenty of time to explore during a visit to New Orleans. Don't miss it!

Magically, beautiful scenery, highly recommend a walk through City Park. With it's history, and a very, very old tree, its a must-see. There is also a Cafe du Monde on the grounds, for coffee and beignets (you have to try these!) If you're travelling from Canal Street, the no.48 Streetcar takes you straight to it (says City Park on the front) it's $1.25 a ride or you can download Les Pass and purchase tram tickets

This is one of the best city parks in the nation. There is a walking track and several different locations, bike riding, and on the water exercise. Absolutely beautiful place.

Beautiful day in the park. Spent time counting all of the different plants growing on these oaks. Stunning!

Oh yes this is such an beautiful and clean park. You can take your family out there for picnics and family events. Also you can take beautiful photos or have an nice wedding. I will be back again.

Beautiful park. Rent a swan boat for the lake or a multi-bike for up to five! Cool art and plenty to do for families. Perfect quick getaway if you’re interested in doing something outside the French Quarter.

Truly wonderfully redone since a hurricane Katrina. The work done by so many volunteers and charitable organizations to make City Park a magnificently well-maintained and enjoyable place to be is breathtaking. Besides the lack of morning call, this place is fantastic. The two many golf courses are great places to beat the summer heat (they have air conditioning in the form of misters), and the and the sculpture garden is a nice socially distanced place to appreciate some art. If you've read that getting outside it's good for your brain (it is), this is an excellent place to do it.

It's always great taking photos here. I had a client who was taking photos, and it was as usual. Four stars instead of five because everyone takes photos here so it's a little cliché right now.

The grass desperately needs to be cut, but, this is a great place to come and exercise, feed the ducks, or just meditate and focus. If you enjoy playing tennis, and Phase I lifts in New Orleans, there are several tennis courts to enjoy your craft!

How can I even rate city park? It's a gorgeous place filled with gigantic oaks and serene ponds. A perfect place for a walk, or to relax under a tree with a book.

The sculpture garden was really nice and clean. It's a good 35-45 min walk around the whole park. You can also canone through the park with put paying the fee.

The centerpiece of New Orleans outdoor experiences. Lots of biking trails, sculpture garden, museum of art, disc golf course, cafe, mini golf, storyland... something for everyone.

Awesome to spend the day with family 👪.

Nice place to get together and have fun

Beautiful scenery, and the perfect place to find your own space. What an awesome area to spend with family or friends!

Great place

The park is beautiful. Wonderful scenery and very tranquil. I came on a Sunday and not so packed which is great. Sat by the lake. Cute. Highly recommend visiting this park. I took the City Park Streetcar from Canal since I'm visiting and staying in the French Quarters. Street car is $1.25 one trip. I got the 3 day pass which is a steel for $9. First time in NOLA but I am falling in love with this town. Omg, the food. Aahhhh 🤗

Nice place

NOLA City Park is an oasis from the bustle of the city. Museum, botanical gardens, mini golf, children's area, and acres of grounds to hike,bike or walk.

Beautiful scenery!

I love the dueling tree.

Beautiful Park! I always enjoy riding my bike or going for a day stroll. This park is filled with years old beautiful oak trees, ponds, play areas, and also Cafe Du Monde :)

The Great lawn brings back childhood memories

Beautiful park and the place is huge

Beautiful park. Had an overly aggressive bee after my daughter but I slapped it away and moved to another section. My daughters loved walking over the bridges, climbing the trees, and playing on the playground toys. Really fun day. Next time we visit, we'll bring lunch and have a picnic.

We went here on our HONEYMOON. SUCH A GREAT PLACE WE WILL BE BACK

Beautiful environment.

Beautiful nature; peaceful ♥

Good place to spend a Saturday afternoon riding bikes or just relaxing with the family

Beautiful site to see

Soothing place to relax yourself.

(Translated by Google) Okay (Original) Bueno

Doesn't look like any good fishing here

I love city park

Huge beautiful park, it’s a must to stop there.

Beautiful place to be. Everybody that wants to go out to and be out the house. Go here for sure. Atmosphere is filled with good energy. Hungry? They got a Cafe Du Monde.

This place is huge! Lots to see and do! Honestly got tired of walking to get to there other side and only saw a small portion of it. Lots of people there and lots of bicycles!

Great place for younger kids and adults.

Nice park

It was beautiful we had a great day

Park is beautiful, beignets of course are great ! It was a beautiful start in my day

Always under staff ,piles of stock everywhere but there have nothing on the shelves Always out i what I needed. Staff is rude will not have basket in store gotta go out and look for one in the parking lot while they stand around. One night I went and got a good bit of stuff the cashier didn't bag my stuff I was like can I get that bagged she said they don't have none. What why didn't you tell me that when I came in how I'm post to take all this to my car with no bags? She replied I don't know i was so mad 🤬🤬

Serene, big and quiet

Beautiful park!

Amazing

Beautiful setting for marriage

One of my favorite things about the city of New Orleans!!!

It's one of the most beautiful parks in the city. Christmas in the Oaks is a can't miss event every year.

Awesome park. Love this park.

Beautiful park, great for walks, family picnics, meditating by the water.

One of the most beautiful parks I've been in, and I only saw one small section.

This is a wonderful park and a must-visit for your NOLA trip. It is beautiful and has so much to do. There is a childrens museum, and art museum, a sculpture garden, and amusement park, bike and paddle boat rentals and much more! We biked around the park and wandered up on a farmers market on Saturday morning. It was a great atmosphere and had a great selection. It was a great time and easily something to do for everyone in the family.

The park was beautiful. I had an amazing time. Definitely will be bring the kids next time. Parks and picnic areas. Rides food and wonderful opportunities for pictures.

Saw an awesome music festival here. Everything was well managed and there were plenty of bathrooms. The park also has putt-putt, an amusement park, botanical gardens, lake activities, a sculpture garden, a museum, and a kids play land, the list goes on and on. This is a great way to spend a Saturday whether young or old. Thank you for the wonderful times City Park!

City park was beautiful. I wished I could have played all 18 holes if I weren't busy! The greens were very nice the views are amazing. The club house is very cool and has lockers and showers. The club house also has clubs for rental, they let me use the big Bertha set, even when I've never used those clubs, they were forgiving :)

Beautiful beautiful park with so much space, so many lovely winding walkways, curved bridges, and a variety of gardens from botanical to sculpture to enjoy. Park benches, live oaks, water features, and of course the must-see art museum. You can also enjoy Cafe Du Monde, with a large patio seating area. And last but not least enjoy the lake on a rented Swan shadows paddle boat or kayak!

Beautiful setting, look out for the singing oak near the art museum. The wind chimes are set to the pentatonic scale. Very peaceful. We were looking for a little something we could drive to and would cost very little. The park was perfect. We walked thru the sculpture park by the museum of art. Also went to Cafe Due Monde. Staff was very friendly and food excellent. Also was not as busy as the one in the French quarter which was nice.

Lots of activities to do here, both paid and unpaid. Eat at Cafe Du Monde, see the sculpture garden. For kids, there is a playground, amusement park, and Storyland. Rent a swan boat or surrey bike and petal around the peaceful park.

There was so much to do here. The sad part is it was too hot to do much, so that put a limit on what we did do. The scenery and atmosphere were so peaceful, as well as beautiful. I would definitely recommend City Park as a must visit on your list.

Wonderful sites to explore. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to wander around. Stroller friendly for sure and necessary! Great little spot to enjoy family moments

I enjoyed the children's amusement park at the City Park. There is a variety of things you can do whether riding a bike around, walking, flying a kite, throwing a birthday party, relaxing on the swing, going on kids rides or the fairy land area for the little ones. I enjoyed the train ride.

Worth the tramway ride from French Quarter time wise and money with Le Pass! Beautiful park with amazing outdoor statues and just BIG! NOLA residents be proud of this gem which brings a large green space in heart of city!

Wonderful, large, unique and well developed green space. We recommend the sculpture garden if you have the time. A great way to end our stay in New Orleans.

What a Beautiful sprawling Park! Enormous wide, towering oak trees with Spanish moss surround the peaceful lake. Tons of wildlife. We saw ducks, turtles, geese, an enormous swan and even enjoyed a paddle boat ride on a swan paddle boat. Not far away from the street car pick up and drop off on the neutral ground(the median for non NOLA folks) A must see stop that's completely free to enjoy and just steps away from the Art museum.

We stopped at the city bark for our fury friend to burn some energy while we made our cross country trip from Phoenix to Savannah along the I10. Best dog park I've ever been to hands down. Clean, has hills, plenty of shade, obstacles, and little pools I wish my pooch didn't discover on this trip 😂. Thank you NOLA for providing this to your residents and travelers like myself.

Incredible city park with tons to see. Sculpture garden was truly one of a kind. Entire park appeared to be well maintained with plenty of visitors of all ages.

Huge park with loads to see and do. The sculpture park, botanical gardens and Storyland are all highly recommended. I was there for 2 hours yet only saw a small part of this huge park. Definitely worth a visit!

Beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. The Cafe in the middle is worth going alone. Beignets and coffee and the gift shop are all something to stop for.

Lovely sculpture garden, large Botanical gardens, lake, art museum. This park has alot to do. New Orleans has done a great job on this place.

There is so much to love about City Park, making it one of the most popular places to visit in New Orleans! Attached are photos from a recent session under the large oak trees with beautiful Spanish Moss that hangs from them. Captured by Firmin’s Photos!
