State of the Park Breakfast
September 27, 2023 | 8:30 am - 10:00 am
Join civic leaders, businesses, professionals, and Park supporters for City Park Conservancy’s inaugural State of the Park Breakfast. At this annual event we will share updates on the current and future projects in City Park, highlight urban-park trends, and celebrate those or organizations who have helped further the Conservancy’s mission.
This year’s event will feature an update from City Park Conservancy President and CEO Cara Lambright and keynote speaker Michael Van Valkenburgh, Founder and Creative Director of Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates, Inc. (MVVA).
Announced in June 2023, MVVA will lead City Park Conservancy’s 18-month master-planning process, which will steward New Orleans City Park throughout the next century. MVVA is one of the most-highly regarded landscape architecture firms in the world having rejuvenated, designed, and built hundreds of public spaces in the United States and abroad since its founding in 1982,with notable projects including Brooklyn Bridge Park, Arkansas Riverfront, Gathering Place for Tulsa, and more.
The master plan is made possible through a lead gift from the Greg Keller Foundation.
