A Walk in the Park: City Park New Orleans Audio Tour

Welcome to a grand urban pleasure garden; home to the largest stand of old-growth oak trees on Earth. These magnificent Southern Live Oaks, dripping with Spanish moss, are silent witnesses to over 700 years of natural history and local culture. We will explore a mesmerizing landscape brimming with wildlife, picturesque bayous, secluded fountains, romantic stories, Neo-Classical and Art-Deco architecture, WPA-era gardens and bridges, Enrique Alferez sculpture, and “flying horses.” City Park represents the heart and soul of New Orleans. Join me as we celebrate the successful relationship between nature’s splendor and humanity’s creative achievements. The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Q&A

Q: Is there a recommended age range for this audio tour?

A: This tour is great for all ages! Kids will love the stories about the wildlife and the 'flying horses' sculptures, while adults can appreciate the history and architecture. Just keep in mind it involves walking, so younger kids may need some breaks. Overall, it should be fun for everyone!

Q: What if it rains? Can you reschedule the tour?

A: Since this is a self-guided audio tour, you can choose when to start it. If it looks like rain, you can easily wait until the weather clears up. No need to reschedule; just pick a day that works for you!

Q: What should I wear for the audio tour in City Park?

A: Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you'll be exploring the park for a while. Light, breathable clothing is a good idea, especially if it's hot. Don’t forget sunglasses and sunscreen, too! You’ll be under those beautiful oak trees, but they can’t block everything.

Just did the City Park audio tour and it was AMAZING!

I just finished the A Walk in the Park audio tour in New Orleans, and wow! The old oak trees are just breathtaking, and the stories about the sculptures were so interesting. Plus, I loved that I could do it at my own pace. I wasn't rushed at all. It’s totally free, which is a bonus! Anyone else tried it?

Considering giving the City Park audio tour as a gift!

I’m thinking about gifting the City Park audio tour to my parents who love exploring parks. They visited New Orleans a couple of years ago and still talk about the city all the time. Has anyone given this as a gift? Is it a good idea? They’re not super techy, but I think they could handle it. Any thoughts?
