New Orleans' City Park air quality benefits from the 1,300-acre City Park's substantial woodland and bayou system providing exceptional natural filtration in the heart of New Orleans, with the park's extensive tree canopy and the Bayou Metairie waterway providing natural ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding arterial corridors contributes local sources, while the park's extraordinary green scale generally maintains good conditions in the park interior throughout most of the year.
