Overall, this particular park is a winner. If you are in the Slidell, Louisiana area,you owe it to yourself to check this park out. I grabbed a po' boy at a restaurant called Pearl's and came here to enjoy my lunch. I enjoyed chilling and enjoying my lunch. I would definitely recommend Heritage Park. read more

Not much to add that hasn't already been said by others. This is a great little park to just hang out or walk or let the kids play. Decent shade. Plenty of parking. The large open green space in the middle is nicely kept. The sidewalks are wide enough to accommodate all the people walking their laps. The bathrooms are decent as public bathrooms go. The city has poured a lot of money into the park over the last few years and it shows. Lots of picnic tables and pavilions. The public boat ramp and the docks have been greatly improved. read more

This is a wonderful park that is located in Slidell's historic district. It is right behind the train station. The park has tons of free parking and is well maintained. I was astounded by how picturesque it was. It is right on the water, Bayou Bonfouca. The park happens split into two sides by a street. On one side of the street is the playground/splash pad. It is a very nice. They have a covered shelter with picnic tables right outside the play area and next to the splash pad. In the center of the play area you will find a large gazebo. The play area is lined with mulch and a rubbery surface in some areas. The equipment looks new. There is three sets of swings, (one of which has like a sled looking thing, a huge jungle gym with a couple of slides and things to climb, a newer style merry go round, and a smaller jungle gym with a slide for little kids. The splash pad is on the outside of the playground area and has a small water tower and railroad sign. There is tons of parking on this side and the area can keep the little ones entertained for hours. The majority of the park is located on the opposite side of the street, along the water. There is a lot of parking over on this side too. The focal point of this side is the outdoor amphitheater where they host various events throughout the year. There is a huge field outside of the amphitheater. It can be used to have a picnic, play the sport/activity of your choice, play catch, or stretch. There is a large gazebo in the field on this side of the park too. I liked the singles picnic table shelters they had placed in different areas of the park. They were very cozy. As I mentioned the park is located right on the water and provides some breathtaking views. The majority of people at the park were using the very nicely paved trail that runs along the water, while I was there. I don't blame them either. It was a nice day. It is a very nice and peaceful trail. It is a small trail though. Depending on what path you take, you can do a mile in either 3 or six laps. The park's restroom facility is on this side and is right by the parking lot. You cant miss it. The park offers a free boat launch that lets off into Bayou Bonfouca. They have associated trailer parking and the launch is nice. You will find a large shelter with picnic tables next to the launch. I think this is Slidell's best park by far. I really enjoyed my time here. It has a lot to do and is beautiful. I could have spent hours here. I am sure that you will love this park too. read more

Heritage Park is one of the more recent additions to the Camellia City, nestled right by the ever so lovely Bayou Bonfouca. Conveniently located on Bayou Lane and right behind the old Slidell Train Station, Heritage Park is open to the public daily from 6am-10pm. Throughout the year, various events (concerts, festivals, movie nights, etc) are held at Heritage Park. The park features: a walking/jogging path, a large gazebo (which can be rented), Scoggin station (also can be rented), playground, splash pad (the kiddos seem to really enjoy it during the summer), 7 shelters, scattered park benches, and a free boat launch. It's a nice park to go to for a morning/evening walk or jog, taking your kids out, fishing, boating, and get everyone out of the house to enjoy the beautiful outdoors when the weather permits. Heritage Park is family-friendly and a good spot for a picnic/bbq/get togethers. I always see the high schoolers here for their graduation/homecoming/prom pics too! As a reminder- pets, skates, and skateboards are not allowed. Aside from that, this clean, beautiful park is worth a visit if your travels take you to Slidell. read more

This is Slidell's newest park and its a great one. It's located on the banks of scenic Bayou Bonfunca where you can launch your boat free of charge. The main playground area has a one way in/out entrance so you can actually sit and relax a little and not constantly scan the crowd of crazy sugar-high children looking for the one with your DNA. In the summer the splash pad is turned on and the kids love running around in the jets of water. Shoot, I love running around in the jets. There's a large amphitheater where the Louisiana Plilharmonic Orchestera holds a wonderful and free concert every spring. A large gazebo can be rented for parties as well. The only con is that because it is a fairly new park there aren't that many large trees so not much shade. Trees have been planted all around the park but they're still babies. Oh, and no pets, skates or skateboards are allowed in the park. read more

Heritage Park - Parks Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

This is a great park to bring kids to the playground, have a picnic, stroll the track/path, or enjoy an event. I really enjoy how the playground is completely fenced in / enclosed for added safety. The parking lots are easy enough to maneuver when it's not too full. Overall, a great place to meet up with friends in Slidell. read more

This place isn't as people friendly as it used to be a couple of years ago. Although it has a playground and splash pad for kids, nothing really for adults but a sidewalk to walk around in circles in the park. Signs read, no sports activities allowed in the park, so you can't have a get together and throw a ball or frisbee around. Small pavilions with picnic tables, but signs say no smoking and no cooking. Used to be able to fish, now signs say no fishing. Don't know what this place has become. read more

This park is a jewel in the city. It's got a lot of area and it's very much updated open and safe. Well as safe as one could hope for in the south along a bayou. The only draw back is the inability to bring pets to the park. That has been a trend in the city but I hope that one day the park is open to pets in leashes. I would love to walk down the bayou with a pet in the evenings. I just need to get my cat to comply. read more

Attending the St Tammany Crab Festival on 6/25/2016 from 130-3pm. Giving the day and time to you can guess the temp. My car said 102 but weather app indicated 93. Soooo, it was HAWT!!!!! In spite of the heat, still had an enjoyable and somewhat comfortable time considering the number of shady areas near the pavilion and from the trees. At times it was outright delightful whenever a nice breeze came through. Only issue with this venue is the parking, or lack there of. We paid a nearby resident $10 to park in their yard instead of fishing for parking in the grassy area along the train tracks. read more

Since the trees are getting big now, this park is nice. Can walk, play catch, frisby...the birds are constantly singing... Peaceful. Would give it 5 stars but there is no bathroom. read more

Heritage Park - Parks Near Me - Slidell, Louisiana

This park is nice. They have private parking. Two different areas which is good for families because the play area is semi- fenced in with benches for parents and swings, slides, jungle gyms, a splash pad, sand pit etc. Across the street you can find a more "adult" park where they have spacious grass areas, a few walking trails, and park benches, a stage, bathrooms etc. The separation of the two parks is good because it keeps older kids/teenagers/adults on the more open area and then younger kids. So it's great for family bbqs. It's also on the water and has parking for boat trailers and cars so it's got water access also which is really cool. The boat launch is free so there's no charge to park or launch your boat. read more

Very nice park in Slidell off of Front Street. No dogs allowed though. It has a nice spot where I go to fish with my family. Across the street is a tackle shop where you can get night crawlers or shrimp. It's clean and pretty enough for some teens to take their formal pictures at and in the colder months. And it's a nice place to jog. read more
