The Labyrinth At Audubon Park

Do you need to just stop and breathe? Maybe let your mind wander to break that writer’s block or contemplate nature for a bit?
Then get yourself over to Audubon Park on East Park Drive, on the downtown side/​East/​Exposition Blvd and between Laurel and Magazine, and walk the Labyrinth. Don’t mind the address on this listing; it belongs to the friends group.
The Labyrinth is a meditative walking path with one way in and one way out. It’s based on a medieval version at Chartres Cathedral in France. Since this movement began at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, it’s become pretty popular and you can find other Labyrinth walks (
).
It’s also pretty fun to watch kids just hop/​skip/​jump all over the patterns and invent their own games.
Highly recommended as a place to stop and catch your breath.

Need a nice meditative walk? Go to The Labyrinth at Audubon Park — take Calhoun to Laurel — you’ll end up on East St — park on the side & walk over — you’ll be hearing the seals & other animals from the Zoo right next door! There are benches all around the walk, so don’t be surprised to have visitors sitting and relaxing– & after you walk — sit a spell & enjoy the state of calm.
The Labyrinth was created after Katrina as a ray of hope in the turmoil that the city was going through!!! Ever grateful for the folks that dedicated the time effort & $$ to create that beautiful space!!!
