About City Park
New Orleans City Park spans about 1,300 acres, larger than New York's Central Park, and holds some of the oldest live oak groves in the country alongside lagoons, a botanical garden, and the Besthoff Sculpture Garden. The park is also home to the New Orleans Museum of Art and Storyland, a small amusement park for kids. Most of the grounds are free to walk, bike, or picnic in.
