City Park, Urban park in New Orleans, United States.
City Park extends across 1,300 acres with walking paths, gardens, playgrounds, and a collection of 600-year-old oak trees forming natural canopies.
The land, formerly Allard Plantation, became public property in 1854 when the 4th District Court designated it for park purposes.
The New Orleans Museum of Art and its sculpture garden within City Park present local and regional art through permanent and rotating exhibitions.
The park maintains multiple parking areas, bike rentals, paddle boats, athletic fields, and direct access to public transportation for visitors.
The surviving Dueling Oak at Dueling Oaks Drive marks a location where 19th-century residents settled disputes through formal duels.

New Orleans, the birthplace of jazz, reveals its musical history through its neighborhoods and concert halls. The French Quarter features wrought-iron balconies and Creole buildings facing St. Louis Cathedral, while Bourbon Street is home to jazz clubs and music venues. Preservation Hall has upheld the jazz tradition since 1961 in a building from the 18th century, and Jackson Square hosts musicians and street performers in the city center. The musical heritage extends from the Marigny district, with its Creole houses and clubs, to Congo Square, once a gathering place for African music in the 19th century. The Garden District showcases its 19th-century homes surrounded by gardens, while City Park offers 500 hectares of century-old oaks and botanical gardens. The Louisiana State Museum completes this exploration with its regional history and art collections.
