A mallard duck swims near Goldfish Island in New Orleans City Park, Nov. 14, 2015, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The 1,300-acre public park was founded in 1854 and established as “City Park” in 1891. It is 50 percent larger than Central Park in New York City. The park was expanded by a $12 million grant from the Works Progress Administration in the 1930s, and many of the sculptures, bridges, and infrastructure were created through that grant. Hurricane Katrina caused $43 million in damage to the park in 2005, with winds destroying more than 1,000 trees and floodwaters inundating 95 percent of the park. More than 75,000 volunteers helped with park repairs after Hurricane Katrina. (Photo by Carmen K. Sisson/Cloudybright)
