No need to stay confined to the city center or Jackson Square for daily walks. A recommendation for those who travel to New Orleans with a dog is to rent a car and take the drive out to City Park. This park is about half the size of Central Park, and has a dog park as well, appropriately called the City Bark. Entry to the dog park is only allowed with a permit, so make sure to get one by stopping by the Dog Park Office. There is a small fee to pay for the permit to cover the operation of the dog park. This way, it can be kept in shape for dog owners and their furry friends.
