This is a beautiful and well-maintained park that makes for a great picnic spot. There is lots of history, the architecture and landscaping is fantastic, and of course the iconic Louis Armstrong Arch is a must-see.

Lafitte Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

First it used to be the Carondelet Canal, then a railway corridor, it was transformed in 2015 to a 2.6 miles long park and bicycle and pedestrian pathway. It now connects the French Quarter and Armstrong Park to the Bayou St. John and City Park.

Ancient Live Oak in New Orleans City Park

Highlight • Natural Monument

New Orleans City Park is the largest outdoor attraction in New Orleans at 1,300 acres, surpassing Central Park in size. It is also one of the oldest parks in the country, and features many different attractions, including the New Orleans Botanical Garden, Storyland playground, and Carousel Gardens Amusement Park, alongside themed gardens, biking and walking paths, live concerts, and the world’s largest grove of mature live oak trees. The park offers facilities for various events, recreational rentals like surreys and swan boats, and private gondola rides. Be aware if riding your bike: golf carts are allowed on designated roads but not on bike paths or grassy areas, and they must follow posted speed limits.

Lake Pontchartrain Lakefront Bicycle Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This 20+ mile paved path along the southern shores of Lake Pontchartrain is perfect for a burn ride, or a rather meditative one, due to it being mostly straight for its entire length. The Lake steals the show, but there are a few other interesting stops along the way, such as boardwalks, parks, outfall canals, mansions, and the Causeway.
