I hadn't thought of New Orleans as a fitness minded city, but apparently there are hundreds of people who visit the park everyday to walk/run/bike (even horseback ride) around the trails of Audubon Park. And who could blame them, it's beautiful! Last time I visited I was struck by how many people I saw jogging along the streetcar tracks on St. Charles. The city has started a 'rails to roads' program which will convert an old train track between the French Quarter and the lake into a biking path. A flat biking path - even better! There are walk/run/bike paths along the levees, too, which I will enjoy but this park is shaded and landscaped with ponds, fountains and children's playgrounds, too.
