My children and I love this park, we bring blankets to eat out, feed the ducks, run the trail and i like to find a seat meditate and get grounded. Its always many people to socialize with.

Nice place to walk around the lake. Nice place to have a BBQ. Nice place to tie off a hammock. Nice place to put a towel on the ground under a tree and just chill. Nice place to launch a kayak or something that floats on the lake. Its just a nice place to go and be yourself. This place is awesome.

Really a serene place to hangout. And a track around the lake is awesome. You can even hire a electric bike to take a round around the lake.

My favorite spot to sit by the water and relax. Really big fan of how peaceful and calm it is on average, and the turtles come right up to you to hang out.

Love running here, but the bathroom is hardly ever open. When it is open, its pretty disgusting. Also, asphalt path along canal desperately needs to be redone (uneven and lots of trip hazards). Considering how many people use the park, one would think BREC would put more resources toward upkeep (and updating).

The park borders LSU lakes and provides easy access to running / walking paths. There are fitness stations and filtered water foundations located on site in addition to picnic tables and a restroom facility. The restroom almost always needs attention - it rarely has soap & toilet paper and the toilet is often filthy. Parking is limited which results in the lot being fully occupied during peak fitness times and seasons. I suggest arriving early and carpooling if youre visiting with a group.

Went today with my dog. Did the whole 4 plus mile walk around the big lake. Enjoyed it very much. Beautiful ducks, docks, benches. Bikes for rent as well. Walk through the Greek area of college town.

Good place to walk and jog though certain areas are rather tight in places and the trail can be very narrow at times particularly when there are multiple walkers, joggers and bicyclists.A separate bike lane would be nice but everyone is pretty good about moving to the side for others to pass.Some areas are somewhat isolated and the entire distance around the lake is a bit over 4 miles so its best to walk in pairs or during the day.

This is by far my favorite place in the city. The trails are great for walking, running, jogging, and even bike riding. The lake and wildlife are an absolute joy to watch. Come out for a picnic or exercise...you wont be disappointed!

The park is always clean with lovely views. There are benches, a dock, and launch for kayaks and paddle boards. Theres often fun events here such as the sunset paddle. It can be a little bit busy at times since its a very popular park, but its really quite lovely.

Very nice for running or walking. Gets breezy and the temperature is usually a bit lower than further away from the lake. Helps to cool down during the hot days. View is really soothing.

Its with a heart to explore and experience a new sea food known as CrawFish. This is a Louisiana local food. If you havent tested it you havent been to Louisiana. I met Christy I wonderful beautiful lady that take us around and she bragged about CrawFish and she won me. We bought it and Straight to Milford Wampold Memorial Park where we eat our CrawFish with the group of Transfer Program International Students in the Picture. The Part is well arrange with wonderful car Park, clean lake, very clean environment to walk out, picnic, fishing, canoe ride and lot more. I LOVE U Louisiana

Visiting from San Antonio and first time in Baton Rouge. I recommend anyone to come walk in the evening around sunset. It wont disappoint.

Um... Its a park. A rather small one at that. Beautiful scenery across the lake though and it seems calm and secure. Theres a small boat launch too that seems like it would be great for small pleasure craft. Clean and safe, seems great for a picnic or early morning run on some of their trails.

Jo
Review №48

Great spot to meet up for a run. Got a little boat launch to put in your kayak or small watercraft. Lakes not too big but be careful going out in the wind lest you get stuck on the other side.

Na
Review №49

This park is great if you want to use the boat launch, or if you just want to take a walk or run around the park. Theres a nice beachfront area, and a dock where you can put a kayak or a boat into the water and gain access to the lake easily. If you go for a walk, there are a few different Loops that measure between 3 and 6 miles, which is nice if you want a long, reliable run or walk. My only complaint, is that people leave the picnic area quite messy, with shells from crawfish and crabs and Bones from chickens, which is unsafe for the dogs.

Review №55

This park is so well-attended that I had trouble finding parking in the late evening! This is a great problem to have, because it makes me feel safer to have so many other park-goers there at the same time. The view is great. Theres a beautiful path around the water, and beautiful architecture on the other side. The sorority and fraternity buildings are very nice looking.

You cant beat this place as a start point for a nice run around University Lake. (Its about four miles) As a running path, its flat, theres a variety of shaded spaces and nicely landscaped lakeside homes for eye candy. Accessible parking lot, restrooms, even some fitness stations for warm ups. Enough space to launch kayaks.
