Confirmed from New Iberia City Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Public facility with an outdoor swimming pool, a dog park & a number of walking trails.

The New Iberia City Park is awesome place to bring your kids to play, bring your dogs to get exercise in their own area, you will enjoy exercising walking the paths or feeding the many ducks, birds and squirrels. We go often to eat lunch and bring feed for the baby ducks.
This park is amazing for kiddos and families in a beautiful sunny day it keeps cool. It is perfect to make them play, run and be free. Love to walk, jog, it has ducks and all kind of animals.
Very nice park with great features. Walking trails, boat dock, brand new playgrounds, bathrooms, public pool, and more. The park also hosts a multitude of events for the public. Our current favorite is the symphony in the park. We come here often to walk the trails after work.
