It was a great park to visit saw alot of thing
Doing some concrete work here in the park. Its very nice, been seeing lots of wildlife!
Great directions... Sad that whole facility closed on weekends and only open until 4:30 weekdays. Visiting area and won't be able to get to see it.
This park is the only example of a Bottom Land Hardwood Forest left in New Orleans. It has bathrooms and covered Picnic areas along with a short trail thru the woods.
Audubon keeps the park closed during those times when you children are out of school and could actually go. Why would Audubon want to exclude the children and limit access to this City Of New Orleans Owned Park?
