New Orleans City Park Reviews

We were really confused about how to actually get into the museum, and there wasn’t anyone around who seemed willing to help us, if that makes sense. It made the whole visit frustrating before it even started.

I might’ve just shown up at the wrong time, but the setup didn’t feel very organized. The lines were all over the place, and the staff seemed confused about where people were supposed to go. It made the whole event more frustrating than it needed to be.

the place just didnt feel very cared for. There was trash laying around, the bathrooms were gross, and some of the paths really need fixing up. Not the best experience...

I went there thinking it would be a easy place to bring my dog, but that’s not really how it felt. I don’t remember every single rule or sign, but I do remember feeling like we kept running into places where dogs weren’t allowed and having to turn back. After driving all the way out there, it was just kind of frustrating. Maybe it’s fine without a dog, but I wouldn’t bring mine again.

I stopped by the cafe hoping to grab something good, but the food options was limited. There just wasn’t much to pick from, so it felt a bit disappointing

We waited around for a while hoping it would be worth it, but the playground was disappointing. A lot of the equipment looked old, and the area didn’t feel very clean. Not the best experience

We walked around forever and couldn’t find an open restroom when we really needed one. It was super frustrating, especially with kids. I don’t think we’ll be coming back anytime soon.

Went to City Park and honestly... the parking situation was a mess. We drove around way longer than expected, and every lot seemed full. The signs weren’t much help either — kind of confusing, actually. We finally gave up and parked far away, then had to walk in. Not the end of the world, but yeah... it definitely put me in a bad mood before the visit even really started

I went to City Park thinking it would be an easy place to walk around and maybe bike a little, but it ended up being more frustrating than I expected.

The paths I used were cracked in spots, not super clear, and I kept having to slow down to watch for bumps or figure out where I was supposed to go. I’m not sure if I missed a better section or came in from the wrong side, but the part I was on just didn’t feel very smooth or relaxing.

It also felt a little messy with walkers and bikes sharing space. Maybe other areas of the park are better, but based on my visit, I left annoyed and wouldn’t go out of my way to come back for walking or biking

I went to City Park and didn’t feel that comfortable there. A few areas were dark, and I barely noticed any security around, which made me feel uneasy. Maybe I just went at a bad time, but it stressed me out enough that I ended up leaving earlier than I planned. I also tried reaching out afterward and just got one of those copy-paste style responses, which was frustrating because it didn’t feel like they actually read what I said.

I was disappointed. A bunch of the paths were closed off, so we couldn’t really explore much, and what we did see didn’t feel worth making the trip for. Just not great.

I went to City Park and, honestly... the restroom was really unpleasant. The floors were wet, the trash was overflowing, and one of the stalls didn’t even have toilet paper. It also smelled like it hadn’t been cleaned in a while.
I know it’s a busy park and all, but it was still bad. It definitely made me not want to hang around too long, especially with kids. Hopefully they start checking the bathrooms more often.

I was trying to use the site on my phone and found it confusing. I feel like basic info should be easier to find, right?

I spent way too much time and energy just figuring out where I was supposed to go. The signs around the park were either missing, confusing, or not helpful, and the website didn’t really clear anything up either. Some of the info seemed outdated, so I kept second-guessing myself about parking, entrances, and basic directions. For a place this big, it shouldn’t feel like a scavenger hunt just to get inside or find your way around. Frustrating overall.

I went to City Park thinking it’d be a nice relaxing day, but wow, it was packed pretty much everywhere. Lines were long, there wasn’t really anywhere quiet to sit, and parking was a whole mess too. It just ended up feeling more stressful than fun. I probably wouldn’t go back on a busy day

I mostly went to look for birds, so that’s what I paid the most attention to, and there were some really nice ones around. The wildlife made the visit worth it for me. That said, the paths were kind of messy and felt a bit neglected in spots, which was hard to ignore after a while.

The park itself looks really nice, and I did find some useful info on the website eventually. But using the site was kind of frustrating. A few pages were hard to read on my phone, and the map wasn’t super clear, especially for accessibility details. I was trying to check things quickly while also half-watching my coffee get cold, so maybe I was a little impatient, but still, it took longer than it should have to find what I needed...

I was expecting a calm, walk through the botanical garden, but it was kind of disappointing. For the price, I thought there would be more to see and a smoother experience overall. Instead, it felt like we spent more time dealing with little frustrations than actually enjoying the place, which was the last thing I wanted. Not really worth the money in my opinion...

There were definitely a few nice spots, but overall it sorta felt a bit messy and not as to walk around as I was hoping

I asked for help twice and felt like I was kind of brushed off, or actually, not kind of, I was pretty much brushed off both times
