(From October 2025)…read more As you all may know, parks are my escape in dealing with the grind of daily life. With my profession taking me to Lafayette for a couple weeks in mid-October, this park popped up on YELP where I stopped a few times during the weeks. You do have to pay for parking here but you can also park for free off of Oakleaf Drive and take the neighborhood path (bear to your left) all the way to the hill known as Orlando Mountain that leads into the park. That's the path that I took which led me to the large hill that had me thinking the whole "I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" like Leo from Titanic. When the weather is beautiful and it's the mid-late afternoon, you get gorgeous views of your surroundings. This includes the lovely pond, the trimmed trees, and the memorial for veterans which contains a sextet of plaques and some flags drapped high. I also give props to the citizens of this area for keeping the park clean and well-maintained. I'd come here every day if I was a resident here!

On the day we visited this park workers were setting up the holiday decorations. There was someone…read moreon a crane working on the Christmas tree and another gentleman setting up the snowman with the faces cut out for photo ops. We stopped originally to see the iconic Lafayette sign, and quickly found that it too had been decorated for the holidays Unfortunately, the y was missing so we had to use our bodies to make our own y in our photos, but that's fine. The park was not super busy when we were there so we were able to find street parking, but it's easy to see that at a busy time. It might be difficult to find parking here. I was also a little sad that the parking was metered, because typically you don't have to pay to go to a park. There was a family with a little girl enjoying all of the nice ice playground toys. They were having a great time and honestly I was jealous of the little Marigold around and the trampoline. I would definitely bring my children here if I had some. The other reviews speak about undesirable people and the undesirable location and I won't disagree that there is definitely an element of that at this location, but I wouldn't let that keep me away from this community resource.
