Audubon Park opened in 1898 and was the site of the World Cotton Centennial in 1884. People travel from near and far to marvel at and enjoy the ever-beautiful oak trees, lagoons, and expansive green space located within the park. For the millions who use the park for picnics, relaxing, walking, running, cycling and special events there is no better place in New Orleans for recreational fun and relaxation.
Audubon Park is located just minutes from downtown New Orleans on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, across from Tulane and Loyola universities. Within its walls sits the Audubon Park Golf Course and Audubon Zoo.
The Audubon Trail golf course was redesigned in 2001 and reopened in October 2002 as one of Southeast Louisiana's most prestigious golfing destinations. One of the country’s top-ranked zoos, Audubon Zoo, blends the exotic excitement of animals from around the globe with the serenity of its lush gardens.
