City Park has been providing a
space for all people in New Orleans to learn, play, exercise, and more for over
170 years through self-generated activities and philanthropic support from the
public. During 2020, the pandemic made the importance of communal effort to
preserve the park very clear. Friends of City Park is a non-profit organization
that understands the importance of preserving natural beauty. The
organization's mission is to maintain and increase the value of City Park as a
place of recreation for everyone in the city. Thanks to Friends and their
sustaining effort, City Park has made many necessary improvements in
accessibility, replanting, and refurbishing attractions despite being hit by
many storms.
