*New Orleans City Park offers 1300 acres of year-round family fun. Located in the heart of New Orleans' mid-city, City Park offers a wide menu of natural attractions, sports and recreational activity and attractions for children.

City Park's attractions including the New Orleans Botanical Garden, Storyland fairytale playground, and the Carousel Gardens Amusement Park delight visitors of all ages. In addition, several facilities are available to host any public or private event from a formal wedding to a casual picnic, a concert to a business meeting.

The hundreds of acres of park land provide enjoyment for young children playing on our playgrounds, walkers, joggers, and bicyclists winding through the park's streets and trails.City Park offers our visitors a sample of the city's riches both in fine arts and natural splendor. Home of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the largest collection of mature live oaks in the world, City Park whispers stories of duels at dawn and Creole romance beneath the surface of today's mecca of children's entertainment and leisure opportunities.

Spanning the transition in art and architecture between Neo-Classical revival and Art Deco styles, the park's bridges, buildings and outdoor sculptures are a constant source of delight to visitors.

City Park is presently continuing on its journey toward recovery from Hurricane Katrina. If you would like to view damage from the storm and the flooding that followed or contribute to our recovery through volunteering or donations, please donate now or visit our support pages to learn more about how to help.
