The ground is very very soft too. I highly recommend this Park! Check their website for info on sports teams for kids and adults, as well as movie nights. I saw information on football, baseball, soccer, cheer, and rugby. Also kids camps and adults sports leagues. We need more places like this in Louisiana!

This is a quiet little park along the river located just steps away from downtown Covington. It is…read morea pretty nice park as it is quiet and has lots of trees. The best part of this park is the playground equipment. It is huge and one of the best I have seen. Other than that this park doesn't offer much. There are few benches to sit on and no other attractions to draw people to the park. The pavillion is big and it looks like a good spot to rent for a party. There is no walking/jogging path, no tennis courts, kayaks/boats to rent, soccer/softball fields, etc. For me this park offers little else to do unless you want to bring the kids here to play on the playground equipment.

The Bogue Falaya Park is a great place for events, relaxing or having fun with the kids…read more The park is located along the banks of the Bogue Falaya River and offers a beautiful view of the river. There is a large playground area that the kids love. The playground reminds me of my favorite playground as a kid because it is made of wood. Most of the ground level decking is made of composite boards now, but the main structures are wood. The playground has swings, monkey bars, slides and all sorts of obstacles for the kids. The ground is sand so be prepared to get sand in your shoes, but it will be worth it. There is a large pavilion in the park which is available for rent. This would be a great place to plan a private event or outdoor wedding. The open space of the park is very large. There are some trees, but there is also a vast open area. It would be a great place to have a picnic or just lay back and watch the clouds roll by. There is ample parking inside the park unless there is a large event. When there is a large event, you are forced to park outside on the city streets and walk to the event. I highly recommend this park to families.

This is a lovely state run park that has tent camping and hookups for RV and travel trailers. It…read morealso has fishing, a boat launch and the Otis house that you can tour. Evidently the last owner of the house donated the house and some of the land to the state for a park which is great. It saves the land for use. I came to tour the house. You have to pay at the gate to drive on the premises, and pay for the tour. Then drive around and park near the house. Everything was quite lovely. I did not use any of the other facilities.

For a state park campground, this facility is above average in my experience. The campsites up…read morefront are spread out. There is a lot of open ground between the rows of slips giving you a sense of open space. There is another campground section in the back where the boat ramp is with some space to park your vehicles with boat trailers. The facilities are well maintained. For example, the site directly across from me has a brand new picnic table which are more expensive than your average table since the entire frame is made from tubular metal to ward off termites. Each gender has three separate shower rooms available to them. Each room is lockable and comes with a toilet, a sink vanity, and a very large shower stall. The rooms are spacious so that parents can help their young children. There two sets of washers and dryers in that same centrally located building for the front campground. The rear campground has their own building with restrooms and showers. The dump station has a hand soap dispenser which is the first time I've seen that at a public campground. I camped in slip #26 which is located at the end of the row and has partial shade over half the slip all day long. The end of the row is next to the park boundary and on the other side is an old cemetery which makes for a quiet area buffer from any residences. After my first weekend, almost everyone else checked out and I had my row to myself. Located within the park is the historical Old Mill House Museum but tours were not available (mid June 2023) as they were currently doing repair work. There is a swamp trail boardwalk available for walking/hiking with periodic benches and a river view at one point. They have provided playground equipment and swings for the children. There are about 80 RV slips and all have water and power hook ups. There a half dozen or so with sewer hook ups. There is also a large tent camping area with no power hook ups. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores within just a few miles of the park in both Madisonville and Mandeville.

As a starter this is the best maintained bike trail I've ever ridden. There virtually no ruts or…read morefrost heaves and the surface is smooth from end to end. I really enjoyed the ride from both ends once I got started. However, the signage to get on the main trail, whether starting in Slidell at the part on the Trailhead Center in Covington was abysmal. We came from Lexington, Kentucky just to ride on the trail and spent over half an hour on both ends getting onto the trail that took us to other end. The small sign upon leaving the park area in Slidell indicated we were "on the trail" but more signage was needed to indicate which way to go and turn to get on the trail to Covington. In Covington there had a great museum but the worker and the museum failed to give any indication that the beginning part of the trail was closed due to bridge repair. We only found out about the "detour" from a bike shop owner who gave good but complex directions about how to navigate the detour. Thirty minutes later after walking and asking for help did we finally get on the trail. There is no way that any agency responsible the trail can claim there isn't any money for signage. When you have a million plus dollar trail of this caliber you certainly have $50 to spend for small signs. Please get this corrected. People using the trail deserve better service.

The Trace has so much to offer for trail users of all ages. From the brewery and brew pub in Abita to the numerous playgrounds and parks that line the trail, you won't lack for things to see and do as you make your way from Covington to Slidell. And the trail is almost entirely flat and can even be ridden on a single speed bicycle with no problem. Of course it is also nice for walking, inline skating and jogging. Portions of the trail are also available for horseback riding but horses are not allowed to cross the Bayou Lacombe drawbridge. Many visitors to the Trace will access it from New Orleans. If you get hungry you can find great places to eat in Covington, Abita Springs, Mandeville, Lacombe, and Slidell. In between, you will see some beautiful Louisiana countryside and wildlife, especially in the Fontainebleau State Park and two different wildlife refuges. Some other helpful tips: Check out the Kid's Konnection playground. It is a very nice handicap-accessible playground for all the kids. Also no dogs are allowed anywhere on the Trace. Tammany Trace is the premier running/biking trail in the metro area!!

We had a birthday party at this location last night. The GM was grossly inept and mishandled what…read morewas a serious situation which ultimately ruined the party. One of the employees touched my daughter's neck inappropriately after she was already suited up in her harness. He made comments about how he could braid her hair and also spoke to the girls about the Nirvana song Rape Me. Completely inappropriate. He was also flashing his stomach at the children. When I spoke with the manager, she moved him to another area with primarily smaller children. My daughter and her friends could not enjoy the evening and I also was worried about everyone. The GM hid in the back instead of handling the situation. She didn't check on us or take responsible actions. She told me she was going to call the cops on me for using the F word when I asked her to do her job. She also sent the host of our party in to ask us to leave when the kids finally sat down to eat. The situation was GROSSLY mishandled and off putting. When we left I had to request for her to come to the front. I told her we would not be paying due to the fact that they did not really play due to all the drama. She started shouting "you will be paying" repeatedly. Then ignored me when I asked her how to settle the matter. She was unable to produce the DMM or Owners name. I would appreciate if an HR employee would get in touch with me. I fear that something worse may happen with this mismanagement and allowing these two employees to continue at this location.

Plus their system was hacked and I was emailed by some hackers claiming to be UA. Once we got there, everything was easy. We paid for a vip party so Just go upstairs and they'll have a person to help you out the entire party. Only downside was the only way up is with the stairs. No handicap accessibilities. We set up the room with a few things and went off to play. Every area is super cool and fun! The kids loved it. We came from New Orleans because none of the other trampoline parks had all the different amenities UA has. There was one complaint about the go carts. They weren't being very fair with the lines since they could only run so many cars at a time. So we'd get skipped over for the sake of allowing a certain amount of other people to go. At the end of the day, I definitely plan to go back. This was a really fun experience.

Chucky Cheese has gone down in the years but this place sucks. The service was mediocre I don't…read morewant to call anyone any names I just feel like the customer service could be better. The pizza that I waited over an hour for and then I watched it sit in the open for about 10 minutes before they called me was undercooked and so disgusting that I couldn't eat it. The cheese was just sitting on top of the pizza like glue it wasn't melted or anything. The salad bar was the poorest excuse for anything edible I've ever seen. The eggs were so rubbery I could throw one and it would bounce off whatever I threw it on. I couldn't cut the egg I had to break it up with my hands the grapes were mushier than mashed potatoes and the oranges were sour. My advice is to run as far as you can away from this place because I could've saved myself a headache and my 60$ and gone to a real place.
