It's easier to keep an eye on your kids and the park is never over crowded. My son loves bringing his trucks into the sand area and I can sit and relax right next to him on the benches. There are restrooms right next to the playground/baseball fields. The walking trails are wide enough for multiple people to be walking, running and biking without bumping into each other- unlike highland. Overall great place and wish there were more like it in Baton Rouge.

Swings, slides, bridges, a splash pad, pavilion, and plenty of stimulating mini activity games. Lots of shaded areas, and plenty of space for even a very busy day. Lots of benches around the proximity and 8 good sized picnic tables (6-8 adults per table or 10 kids per table approximately.) I don't think a GPS has an easy time with this address but it's on the corner of River Rd and Government St. Not far from Whistle Stop coffee shop and antique district of Denham which makes for a fun day. Enjoy!!!

Totally doable with the distance. It's filled with other walkers/joggers in the evenings, but not too packed that it's uncomfortable. Just enough for inspiration. The recreation center is right next to the lake park, so you can always step inside to get your weights in after some Vitamin D and cardio. I'm impressed with the updates from Baton Rouge Rec Centers.

WOW have they really refurbished it! The playground area is so nice and looked to be maintained very well. I noticed they have added a paved sidewalk area that goes back into the woods and although we did not follow it back I would love to come bike riding on it. Back in the day we had the woods and some dinky swings and a slide. This is a great upgrade. There is a nice children's play area including a larger set with monkey bars. slides, and several places to climb up and down. There is also a smaller climbing toy with a two sided slide for toddlers. Likewise there are infant swings - the old bucket type and swings for older children. I love the fact there is such a nice area you could really play kickball or run around.. fly a kite, etc. The tennis courts look great and so do the basketball courts. In the distance the baseball backstops are sill up and ready to be played on. Its really, really great to see the neighborhood park has been redone so nicely. I know I'll be bringing the kids back to play a lot more since seeing this. At one time BREC was doing doing programs fro kids at the park so if you are in the area it would be worth looking into!

A new person took over the program at Antioch Park and has utterly ruined it. Instead of kids getting to burn off some energy after spending an entire day sitting at a desk in school, they are forced to sit at a table and be quite.
