The Ritz-CarltonMay 1, 2012Named for ornithologist and painter John James Audubon, this lushly-landscaped park first opened in 1898. Walk, run, bicycle or relax, all while enjoying the park's abundant wildlife.
Jackie Hammers-CrowellMarch 22, 2015This is one of my favorite places to go for a walk. There is a great biking/jogging/walking trail that goes through live oaks, around some ponds and gives nice views all the way around.- Aubrey LittletonOctober 18, 2018If riding the St. Charles streetcar suits you, ride it to the end of the line and enjoy a walk around the park (or Tulane Univ. across the street), do some bird-watching, or visit the Audubon Zoo.
1.8 mile running/biking/walking loop with separate lanes. Golf course in middle and many ponds and benches. Lots of birds, very relaxing spot
Tiffany BellMay 3, 2016Best place to walk, relax, or even study! Look out for the monarch caterpillars/butterflies in the spring near the fountain entrance garden!
Flavia FreitasMay 10, 2015Awesome little walk! The threes are so Nice but a big one failed down while we were walking around! I recommend Attention!
Jason H.March 27, 2019Stunning and relaxing park to stroll through. Say hello to the birds, ducks, and many turtles lying out in the sun.
- Ryan EugeneNovember 12, 2018Large park in Uptown bordered by Tulane and Loyola to the east and Audubon Zoo on the other side. Large ponds and a huge walking path for runners/bikers. Keep an eye on large swans walking around.
- TerrenceApril 7, 2017one of the best city parks i've ever been to. enjoy a nice stroll around the path while listening to birds, looking at the water, and making quacking sounds at the ducks
- Brown bag your lunch and head to one of the parks many benches to enjoy the scenic views. Fall and winter are great times for bird watching. People watching good year round.

Tim HettlerFebruary 21, 2014Excellent park if you need an afternoon off from day-drinking. Don't miss Bird Island; it really lives up to the name.
Becherovka VoyagerJuly 17, 2013This park is filled with graceful Spanish Oaks and has open spaces perfect for all sorts of recreational activities with buddies. How about a picnic, starring home made Becherovka cocktails?
Originally Plantation of Jean Etienne de Boré, first mayor of N.O. (1803). Here Boré granulated sugar for the first time in the Louisiana Territory in 1795. Purchased for use as park in 1871.
The trees are breathtaking, The energy is great, a daily walk when I am in town is a goal...
Walking underneath the oak lined walk/bike path is incredibly peaceful. A nice respite from the hustle-bustle
Justin AFebruary 1, 2015Great place to take a nice jog or relax with some friends. Check out the fly for awesome views of the Mississippi
Leslie SNovember 10, 2010Grab a bench facing the water. Great place to finish up some homework and take in the sights and sounds of nature. They have a crap ton of different water fowl! ;)
Candice RiveraOctober 27, 2015So relaxing to rollerblade around the whole park, a super scenic view all around
Becky LJune 10, 2015Get dauquaries for the park- city park & Audubon (check the fly, are along river)
