Top Ten Things to Do in City Park 

In the last episode, we covered the history of City Park. Today, we dive into the top ten things to in the park. In addition to things to do and see, we also discuss how to get to New Orleans City Park and what you should bring with you.

We'll explore the park together. Along the way, we'll wander through the oldest grove of oak trees, and share an order (or two!) of beignets at the Morning Call. Perhaps we'll play a round of miniature golf and take in the outdoor sculpture garden as well. If you're up for it, we'll take a bike ride and learn about one of City Park's newest attractions, Big Lake.

All this and more in today's show!

NOTE: Get your pen and paper ready because you'll definitely want to take notes...
