At on.
City Park has welcomed as many as 11 million visitors per year who walk among 50 species of trees, including bald cypress, southern magnolia, and pine, and the thousands of ancient southern live oaks.
Established in 1854, it is one of the country\'s largest urban parks (457 acres larger than New York\'s City\'s Central Park and two years older) and contains the highest earthen elevation in New Orleans.
