Begin by diving into the lush beauty of Audubon Park, an urban oasis situated in historic New Orleans, Louisiana. Recognized for its impressive oak trees draped in Spanish moss, the park is a beloved destination for both locals and visitors alike. Its 350 acres, enthroned within the historic Uptown neighborhood, offer an inviting escape from the urban hustle. Nestled between the Mississippi River and Tulane University, Audubon Park calls for those seeking relaxation and outdoor adventure, and is a must-visit for nature lovers, fitness enthusiasts, bird watchers, picnic lovers or simply those desiring to experience Southern charm.
Steeped in profound history, Audubon Park was established in the late 19th century, named in honor of the celebrated naturalist and painter, John James Audubon. Originally a sugar plantation, it was later transformed into a park, and even served as a camp during the Civil War. Today, this captivating park delights with its historic structures, manicured landscapes, and its iconic lagoon. Sprawling over miles of pathways and trails, its verdant greenery and scenic vistas enthrall visitors time and again.
The park's highlights are as diverse and rich as its history. Perhaps the most iconic feature is the Audubon Zoo, a world-class zoological garden housing 2,000 animals across varied habitats, offering an unforgettable journey around the globe's wildlife. For golf aficionados, the ideal retreat awaits within the exceptional 18-hole Audubon Golf Course. A 1.8-mile jogging path known as the "Audubon Loop" is a hit amongst joggers and cyclists, while bird watchers will revel in the park’s Bird Island, abode to numerous egret and rookery colonies. The park’s Riverview, famously known as “The Fly,” is an incredible riverside setting for picnics, gatherings, and watching captivating Mississippi river vistas.
The natural beauty of Audubon Park extends even further, inviting you to explore the lagoons by means of a paddle boat, enjoy a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride, or partake in a peaceful yoga session under the centuries-old oak trees. Ballet performances at Newman Bandstand's open-air pavilion and the pool facilities further envoke the spirit of gentlest relaxation and the deep-seated sense of community that the park nurtures.
