Audubon Park: main exercise bicycle loop — detailed guide

Source review: 2026-10-21. A dated source review does not guarantee current-day conditions.

New Orleans, Louisiana · About 1.8 miles loop · Paved main exercise loop

Start: Audubon Park public Magazine Street parking lot, Audubon Park Parking Lot, Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA. Current owner rules visible in public search explicitly allow park-user parking in the Magazine Street lot, Zoo lot and public streets, but reserve Clubhouse spaces for its guests. Choose designated public park-side Magazine Street spaces and walk the signed public approach to the exercise loop. Do not enter golf or reserved premium spaces; if only Zoo-side parking is available, this guide does not supply a Magazine Street crossing route.

Ride: Follow the designated bicycle lane and posted direction for one full main exercise-loop circuit around the park’s central landscape and golf area. Return to the same public-lot connection. Keep off the separate dirt walking path, golf-course paths, Zoo grounds and riverfront street extensions. Walk entrance and pedestrian interfaces.

Distance: Owner fitness page public search text and independent official tourism identify the 1.8-mile main circuit. Parking walking is extra.

Permission and effort: Owner fitness search text and official New Orleans tourism explicitly include cyclists on this main exercise circuit. Official tourism describes New Orleans as flat and the loop as a broad paved path. This supports a modest-effort expectation, not a surveyed slope or current pavement guarantee; walk uncomfortable transitions.

Planning: Owner current public rules text says 5 a.m.–10 p.m.; choose daylight for this guide. Standard public park parking is described as free in owner public search; paid Zoo premium spaces are separate. Obey posted lot terms. Owner public rules give a 10 mph cycling ceiling and posted directional flow; helmets required under age twelve. Yield to walkers, leash pets and avoid overnight parking.

Access reviewed October 20, 2026 Central (October 21 UTC): Owner domain direct retrieval was robots-blocked, so fresh owner details here are explicitly public-search text, corroborated by independent official tourism for the course. No current whole-park all-clear or on-site inspection. Old maintenance announcements do not establish a present closure; obey current barriers and postpone if the park-side public approach is unclear.

Bring water and choose suitable weather. Parking walking is extra. No surveyed parking-space pin or navigable GPX is supplied.
