My happy place in Baton Rouge. Large, beautiful, clean park with lots of activities (disc golf course and tennis courts are great), friendly people, dogs, HILLS! Best park in this area hands down

Awesome park with much to do here. There is a nice play ground, a splash pad area, disc golf, nature trails anduch more. The beautiful scenery alone will distract you enough to enjoy yourself.

This park used to be full of secluded areas and beautiful natural paths that accommodate walking, biking, and exploring. Now nearly all of the trees have been destroyed and its a concrete park. There are wide walkways everywhere, with giant bridges and concrete steps, and large flowerbeds surrounded by concrete. I used to play football here with my friends but now its not worth going.

This park is so great to go to for a picnic or frisbee golf or just a great walk in the park. Its so big everyone has plenty of space to enjoy their own family, but can also socialize if they choose to as well. If you go for frisbee golf look up the map on google before you go so you have an idea of where to go.

Went kayaking and birdwatching. Bayou Fountain water level,very low. Launching and takeout difficult. Birding was good. Saw a river otter up close.

They need to take care of the grounds better. Tons of weeds and ants. The grass needs to be edged. The trees are literally dying from vines. BREC needs to do their job.

Lots of open space for kiddos to play and run around. Easy trees to climb. The scenery is super beautiful. Plenty of walking paths. Clean and well kept.

The splash park is excellent the playground has some covering for shade. I enjoyed it and so did the kids

What an amazing place! The disc golf course offers something for every skill level. A little light for people who have 450 on demand but still challenging and most importantly fun. Bathrooms and pet friendly are a HUGE bonus. Baton rouge should be proud of this place.

Great walking paths..and even disc golf on somewhat of a nature trail.if you venture far enough to the back of the park there is a splash pad, shaded playground, two football fields and even soccer goals.

Beautiful park, very clean. Lovely paved (and dirt) paths, plenty of space.

Was a beautiful park but the address for this location needs to be different from the center around the corner. I went to a baby shower at the center around the corner and when I gps the address it took me to the park not the building where the party was but the center had the same address. I think that should be done better. Someone was kind enough to show us where the place was but overall I enjoyed the shower.

Nice, clean community park. Concrete sidewalk for walking/jogging. Nice open areas for lounging and enjoying nature. Disc golf course for the stoners. And a nice pavilion and splash pad for kids/birthdays/parties.

This is a really fun park for all ages. Just keep in mind that there is a water park, so your kids will probably get wet. Always bring towels and extra clothes, just in case. I tried to bring my toddlers to just the dry section, but you have to go around the fun water part first. Well, they were soaking wet by the end of the day They had a blast though.

This park is absolutely lovely! The rolling hills are unusual for South Louisiana, and the paved trail that winds through them is delightful. Theres also a frisbee golf course for anyone interested in that, as well as several picnic tables under a pavilion. Benches are scattered along the trail for anyone needing a rest.My family and I love this park. I highly recommend it for your next family picnic!

Came here to do a walk for Alzheimers a few weekends ago. Hadnt been to the park in a while and was really impressed with the new facilities. Park was well kept and the splash pad looked awesome. Lots of new walking/ jogging paths. Will definitely bring the kids next summer.

We went here to support our Sacred Heart family cross-country running team and was amazed with how big this park is! It was a beautiful and cool(by Louisiana standards) morning!! We love all the walking paths! We had a wonderful time!

We rented one of the party rooms in 2016 for my daughters baby shower. I could not have been more pleased. It was a beautiful room, the perfect size, and was very inexspencize for the amount of time given. They supplied all the tables and chairs. We were so pleased my daughter rented a room here this year for my grandsons 2nd birthday. We were just a happy this time as we were last. I would recommend this center to anyone for any reason.

Great place to rent for parties! We hosted my daughters baby shower there two years ago. My daughter hosted my grandsons 2nd birthday there today! Very affordable nice rooms with an amazing playground for the kids. They have a basketball gym, tennis, and its wonderful for birding.

Lots to do here. I love the disc golf. This park isnt as flat as the rest of Baton Rouge. They also have tennis courts, a basketball gym, a concrete walking bath, a mosquito lake, and a nice play area for kids.

This park is lovely! It is always clean and maintained. Lots of grass/space for activities (football, soccer, frisbee, etc). There are beautiful hills and trees and shade. The playground equipment is new and is located next to a covered picnic area and a splash pad. The playground area has a springy flooring that makes for a soft landing for kiddos when they fall or slide. My entire family is able to find activities they enjoy (even the dog).

Pretty much the best park Baton Rouge has to offer, which isn’t saying much, but it really is a nice park. They’ve done a lot to it over the past several years.

Nice, open well maintained oark. Real bathrooms. Was there for a cross country meet. They even had a snow cone truck. Go Lee High!

I (56 year old male) enjoy going to the playground. I like going down the slide backwards, and climbing up on top of the monkey bars to do my taxes. I try to talk to the kids about the economy, but they do not understand. Overall good park, but kids could be more educated.

Review №45

My favorite park in the world! I grew up going here and playing softball here and now to be able to take my own kids, it is just beautiful. My kids love walking around, riding their bikes and scooters and having picnics here. The view alone is breath-taking and peaceful.

The park has changed a lot since I was a kid. Gone are the baseball/softball fields/soccer field and bleachers. They have been replaced with a really nice walking path. The revamp of the park is a nice improvement.

Review №51

Theres a lot of land. They mow it. When it rains the paved path floods and some sections retain water for more than a day. Mosquitoes are a problem. The number of stars that youd give it depends on why youre there.

Best park in Baton Rouge. Rolling hills to make your workout more challenging. Great place picnics or just a great stroll. A gold mine...shhhh, its a secret.

We had a global community day here today. Had cultural performances and exhibits from many different countries as well as a talented local jazz and blue band. The park was spacious and bright. Bathrooms were clean and convenient for changing. Very good venue for such events. Will probably book it again in the future and recommend to others.

Otherwise a decently kept up Park. Only problem with this part that I see is that it backs up to a swamp and has Flooding at different parts of the year. Needless to say bug spray might be a must if you come in the evening time.

The park is nice, but the disc golf course was impossible to figure out. Some signage and maps would be nice.

This place is a very cool visit, but sometimes there are birthday parties and other things going on. I enjoy taking my four-year-old out here, except when there are 12 and 13 year old kids at Day Camp because their parents are too lazy to do anything else but send them there... Well, you can only imagine how they get in the way. But the park itself is awesome.

Review №81

I LOVE this place. And so does my family. But they need to REALLY work on the bathrooms and clean up the trash from partys. Also the cut outs in the playground area are starting to raise up and like warp, so children are tripping over them. It is hazardous. They NEED to go ahead and put up the shades, the equipment is SO HOT for the children to play on. But if it wasnt for that the place is nice. Also, I believe the police should patrol. A few older men just sitting around watching children....

This is a great, clean fun place with various things to do. Brec does well with their upkeep (except toilets, but public toilets are public toilets). There is very little local lights which means clear nights are great for star gazing (there is a observatory right down the street). 10/10!

Awesome park. Has a walking trail with workout equipment, several pavilians, frisbee golf course, splash pad, playground and more. Across the street is a ball field and a fishing pier/kayak launch into the bayou (watch for snakes).
