    What happens at the dog park...better damn well stay at the dog park!
    Tricia S.

    Favorite park partly because of the convenience but truly because it offers so much and seems to stay so clean. Only major complaint is there aren't enough trashcans! Our family is blessed to be close enough to bike ride here, and once we get there, there are paths to continue biking on! Every Louisiana playground must have a sprayground, and this one has a great one. My girls love to come and run from the water areas to the dry areas. You can practically do that all year long in this hot state, so we show up unprepared without bathing suits, but no worries as the heat usually dries them off quickly anyway lol. One of our favorite parts here is the big spider web. Not sure of the official name, but that's what we call it. It's been fun to watch my girls grow and get bigger to climb more confidently on it over the years. Also, we seem to get lucky and have had only good experiences with other kids/families at this park. We usually end up playing a tag game on the dry playground and get all the kids around involved. Moral of the story: get out and do something fun and healthy! Hit up your local parks and soak in the fresh air!

    Love walking here with my boys for a day at the park. The trails are great (when it's dry) and there are a lot of natural scenery to take in. Also, we enjoy the many pavilion areas.

    Even the teenager tried out the climbing hexagon

    Forest Park has come a long way since I was a kid. I took the kids yesterday afternoon to play and it was really nice. Even though we were there on Good Friday and there were a number of kids playing there was plenty of equipment so that it did not seem crowded. The children's play areas has so much to do and I think it is very well laid out. There are plenty of climbing toys.. some for all ages really. My 13 year old even had to have a go at the crazy hexagon like climber. I don't blame her - it looked really cool. The baby loved swinging on the swings while my nephew preferred climbing the hexagon and then also climbing the rock wall area of the playground. We cannot wait for summer to try the splash pad! What a fun way to cool down on a hot day -- and it is right by the playground so we do not have to worry about traipsing all over to get from one area to another. (Huge bonus with little ones) I also noticed there are ample places to picnic and cook out. This could be really fun this summer and I plan to try and get our family together for a fun day at the park.

    Great park! Lots for the kids to climb on, trails to explore, space to run, covered and uncovered picnic tables, a splash pad for hot days, and a restroom. There are also tennis courts, a dog park and a fishing pond.

    This is a nice outdoor space. There are walking trails, a "beach" area and a great place to see…read moresome indigenous plants. I've been here before on a guided hike and got learn about the unwanted plants and trees that ended up growing there. I was grateful to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still open to public. Unfortunately, people did not physically distance like I would have wanted them to, but oh well. If you want to get in touch with nature a bit, come check this place out, especially before it gets too hot outside. When we arrived on Sunday, there were a lot of people, but parking was still plentiful. It's closer to Central and north Baton Rouge area. It's also across the street from the famed church Life Tabernacle Church. I can only see myself going back there during the fall and spring months... summertime there will not be happen.

    This was a favorite spot for me and my best friend to hang out at. There are two lakes in the front…read morethat many people fish in. There are walking paths great for jogging and taking a stroll through the woods. My favorite part was the man made beach in the back at the comite river. The water only got as deep as my knee. It was nice to just play around in the water and play on the tire swing someone put up. We also liked to sun bathe on the sand bank. Some people made fires there at night. It was a nice and peaceful way to relax. It's a good spot to bring your dogs as well! Be careful though because we have stumbled upon snakes a few times on the trail path to the beach!

    Very nice park with a splash pad for kids, a bicycle/walking trail and several pavilions to gather…read morewith the family. Very nice park in Baton Rouge.

    This park is awesome…read more The North Sherwood Forest community park has lots of different things to offer; from the young at heart to the matured at heart. This park looks like it's been revamped and been turned into a very beautiful setting for recreational purposes. A spectacular feature for the park is a very nice and well put together spray ground with playground equipment surrounding. There are lots of seating areas around the spray ground, some open to the sun, others covered by latticework structures, and yet still some close by that are covered. The park has a moon shaped lake with a walkway kind of like a Riverwalk or boardwalk that travels along side of it. There is a dock on one side of the lake ideal for fishing and a protrusion on the boardwalk section also ideal for fishing. There are plenty of public restrooms and water fountains all around the park. There are plenty of grass areas open for play like soccer or hitting baseballs. One of my favorite features is a calisthenics exercise area equipped with stairmaster elliptical leg machines also dip bars, pull up bars, and sit up benches. Another really nice feature is a gigantic, covered sandbox area where parents can sit on benches around the sandbox while children play. BREC has been putting together some extra exceptionally spectacular parks around Baton Rouge. If you get a chance to come experience this park, please do as you will not be disappointed.
