The big lake at City Park
Right before Katrina, City Park had a bond that was approved to do major renovations and additions to the park. One of them was the Big Lake project which is on the right of the entrance. After four plus years, the project is completed and the lake is sporting paddle and row boats and big spouting geyser in the middle. Aside from the trees, the infrastructure, and its position right next to the New Orleans Museum of Art, it’s the people I go there to see.
Every morning, old and young, black and white, thin and not, head out to the 3/4 of a mile path around the lake and shake their stuff.
