Any thoughts of what these programs could be?
Really anything. Open space for passive recreation that doubles as stormwater detention. Skate park. Cyclocross trails. Archery. R/C planes/cars. Ropes course. Adventure playgrounds. Urban agriculture. Whatever. Hell, in school we studied parks with places for prostitution and heroin (not recommending that here ). I don't have the answer to what it should be. That's what public design charrettes would be for.

You make a valid point about the allocation of limited space to a single activity. However, it's not like the entire park is being turned into a golf course and my understanding is that the footprint of the new course will actually be smaller than the area dedicated to the old courses. I also think City Park is among the largest city owned parks in the country. But the bottom line is that City Park needs the revenue stream. If I'm not mistaken, New Orleans doesn't spend a dime on the park. It's totally supported through various foundations and the revenue it can generate from activities. I've got to assume that a feasibility study was conducted and the new course is projected to be a money maker.
