Anonymous - NOLA Influence

Imagine the happiest place on Earth. For me, it is right around the corner from everything I’ve grown up
with. This spectacular place is called Audubon Park.

--People only go there to enhance their lives, never intending to do anything wrong or cause any harm.

--It holds the best location in uptown New Orleans, which provides easy access from Magazine St. to St.
Charles Ave.

--This park is not just for one age group of people, it’s always welcoming all ages. I grew up there and
will keep growing up there.

--Many other species enjoy this serene landscape, aswell. The ducks desire to live their lives their and
enjoying life, just as all citizens never reject to the idea of going there.

--The beauty and layout of this park is incredible. The trees hanging down providing shade for you on a
hot day look so beautiful. The gulf course in the middle just adds more detail and beauty to this place. It
is in the center of Uptown so while you run, you are able to see the scenery of the streets of Uptown.

There’s truly no other place like Audubon Park for a true New Orleanian.
