    The best place to visit in Marrero, in my opinion!…read more This park is a gorgeous walk all year through forest and swamplands. Some trails are dirt/gravel, but some of them are completely smooth boardwalk, so strollers and wheelchairs can easily access those paths. I think that's just fantastic! I love that I've seen alligators every time I've gone to visit. One time, I even got to see an armadillo! Of course, you always see tons of birds, turtles, and lizards too. Seeing wildlife makes for a fun visit especially if you're not from the area! Some of the best parts are still currently closed due to the last big hurricane, but it can't be helped. I highly recommend visiting and then doing what you can to help Oh, and to visit this park is free! Walk the trails anytime, even when you're totally broke. Can't beat that!

    We came in the first week of April which is right when all the snakes and alligators start "waking…read moreup" from their version of hibernation, known as brumation. It was AMAZING. We saw 34 snakes and 3 alligators. One of the snakes was busy eating a frog which was a bit much for my delicate heart. The poor frog was still blinking at us. The alligators were busy catching frogs themselves which is a sight I have never seen in real life. It was a fantastic walk. Partly shady, raised walkway so you can stroll through the preserve feeling like you have an upfront view of the wild life. Bathrooms at the start near the visitor center. Easy parking. Lots of benches en route for a rest stop/water break. Wear sunscreen. Bring water. My eldest son declared it the best nature hike he has ever been on.

    Torres Park is located right behind the St Bernard Parish Gov't offices on Judge Perez and butts up…read moreto Wal-Mart's east side. The park is about the size of a city block and has a little something for everyone. The park made a lot of upgrades a few years back and is in the middle of more upgrades at the time of me writing this. On the SE corner was a large wooden castle like playground for the kids to play. It's been torn down recently to be replaced with a newer plastic model that won't suffer the wear and tear as easily as it's wooden predecessor. There is also a few slides, swings and picnic tables as well. They also have a small amphitheater that I'm guessing is for plays for the kids but I've never seen it used. As you walk west there is a faux rock like structure that was meant to have a waterfall like fountain but it was drained soon after it's being built. Not sure why. There is also some rope/netting like bridge kind of like Monkey Hill at Audubon Zoo to play on. There are also a lot of construction in this area for a new skate park and a outdoor fitness center. As you make your way North you will come to a small playground on the NW corner and a pretty gazebo overlooking the park's pond. Keep walking and you'll come to small little building that has snacks and paddle boats to rent for a decent price. On the NE corner is where everyone goes to feed the ducks and nutria. Yes the nutria hang with the ducks and I've actually seen a domesticated turkey hang out here before lol. The park has a lot of trees, open fields and a bridge to a small island in the middle. It's truly a great park and will be even nicer once the improvements are made. The sidewalk around the park is about 3/4 of mile long and you'll see people walking this route for exercise daily. My only issue with this park is the trash. There is regularly trash on the ground and I don't think it's necessarily from people being jackasses. The trashcans have no lids so trash blows out and animals pull it out. Seems like the Parish should invest in the trashcans that you see at National Parks that are animal proof to cut back on the litter. Other than that this place is a true gem in Da Parish.

    Love this park! We live in the Marigny, where we have our share of small parks (Washington,…read moreMarkey, Crescent...) but this is a really great destination park. It is big, with lots of green area for long walks, but the best thing is the skate park with fitness area right next to it. So, parents can work out on the fitness machines while the kids hone their skateboard skills. (The opposite of the uptight Crescent Park, which doesn't even allow skateboards!) It's a very short drive, shorter than the Marigny to the Lower Garden; a nice getaway from the city.

    So much fun to visit City Park in New Orleans on the first day of Spring. (It's actually one of the…read moreplaces that I visit almost every trip to New Orleans.) The park is sprawling. Covering 1300 acres, it is one of the largest urban parks in the US. Bike trails, walking trails, museums, restaurants, sculpture gardens, botanicals gardens and an amusement park for kids. What more could you want? Love art? Check out NOMA. This is often on my agenda. Love the rotating exhibits, Newcomb pottery and collection of impressionist paintings. I use my Graycliff annual pass for reciprocal admission fees. Bonus: One of my besties works here! Want art outdoors? The newly expanded sculpture garden is so beautiful and free to explore. Frank Stella. Yaacov Agam. Beverly Pepper. Take a photo with LOVE by Robert Indiana. Don't sit on Bear with Us by Frank Gehry. Feel free to walk across the Mississippi Meaders Bridge. Take a selfie in the Mirrors Labyrinth. Love to talk a walk here. Sorry, GiGi. No dogs allowed. Love flowers? If you are lucky, you may see tulips or wildflowers. Or visit the New Orleans Botanic Garden. It's also included on the Graycliff Martin annual reciprocal pass. The garden is filled with azaleas, camellias and beds of roses. Love the native Louisiana raised vegetable beds and the butterfly garden. Sit under the oaks on a park bench or a swing to take a rest. Like art? Explore the large collection of Enrique Alfarez sculptures spread throughout the garden. Hungry? Thirsty? This is the best place to visit Cafe du Monde. No lines and the parking is free and so much easier than the quarter. Order a cafe au lait or a hot chocolate with a plate of beignets. Then grab a table with a green umbrella outside to enjoy the sunshine and the famous oak trees in the park. City Park has one of the largest collections of Live Oak trees in the world. Have a kid? Or just feel like a kid? Storyland is so cute! Created by Mardi Gras float makers, it is a New Orleans classic full of whimsy. Peter Pan, Pinocchio, Mother Goose. It is filled with fairy tale and nursery rhyme classics. Fun fact: New Orleans City Park is one of the largest parks in the US. At 1,300 square acres it is almost twice as large as New York's Central Park which is just a little over 800 square acres and does not make the top twenty for size. (But Central Park is still amazing, too!) Parking is free. Or come by streetcar. It stops near NOMA. Thanks for the free flowers on the first day of spring.

    I'd recommend City Park to anyone. It's a great spot for walking, running, photo shoots, picnics,…read moreand just enjoying some fresh air. It's very relaxing and a huge plus that you don't have to go far to feel surrounded by nature. There's always plenty of space and you can easily find a place to sit and unwind. I come out here a few times a week for walks and usually on Saturdays with my run club. It's one of my favorite places in the city to reset and stay active.
