05/10/2021
NEW ORLEANS (press release) – The return of the annual wildflower campaign marks a key event in the Park’s journey of navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. A year later, and the Park is still experiencing an increase in Park usage and need for the respite an outdoor space provides.
“During the height of COVID, the Park experienced a surge in first-time park users, and regular visitors began to explore other areas of this vast green space,” says CEO, Cara Lambright. “This all coincided with a limited staff, who worked tirelessly to maintain the Park through the increased usage. As we continue to move into brighter days, City Park still needs the support of our community.”
