One of the country’s largest urban parks, City Park is a sprawling green escape known for its grove of centuries-old live oaks draped in Spanish moss. Wander Big Lake, rent a pedal boat, or visit the sculpture garden and Morning Call for beignets. Entry is free, though attractions like City Putt mini-golf and the amusement rides are ticketed.
