Environmental Assessment for New Orleans City Park, Wisner Tennis Center, Great Lawn Project, Orleans Parish, Louisiana (August 2009)
On August 29, 2005, the tidal surge and high velocity winds from Hurricane Katrina resulted in extensive damage to City Park, New Orleans, Louisiana. Flood waters inundated City Park lagoons and greenways. New Orleans City Park, which traverses the majority of the western side of Saint John’s Bayou, is one of the largest and oldest urban parks in the United States. The proposed project improvements will be in the Tri-Centennial area of the Park between Dreyfous Avenue and Victory Avenue. The purpose of this proposed action is to introduce green space consisting of a lawn and palm tree-lined promenade and water feature into a space formerly occupied by tennis courts and/or asphalt parking lots. The existing park setting is defined by mature oak trees, lawns and winding roadways. Common active recreational uses include walking, jogging, pet walking and biking.
