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.

This is a great park for kids and adults…read more Located next to Mandeville City Hall, I guess this could be considered the official City Park. There are two large play sets for kids. There is one general area, and one designed for younger kids. Both sets are relatively modern and will be enjoyed by kids regardless of their age. The set in the general area has a ramp that should accommodate wheelchairs. In addition to the play sets, there are swing sets, metal climbing obstacles and a giant open area. I recommend you play the run as fast as you can to that tree in the distance game to wear your kids out. There are also two tennis courts. I don't know if they need to be reserved, but it looks like it is first come first serve. If you want a place for your kids to play, check out this park.

It's a good place for a picnic. They've got picnic tables and an area to cook out in. There is also a slide and other playground equipment for kids. Not bad for a small park.

There's an indoor climbing wall, an art/ music/ dress up room, and then so many different centers- a kitchen, restaurant, grocery store, boat, dock, etc. There is a huge globe that spins and some awesome hands on activities. They also have a small outdoor space. There's a huge outdoor pavilion as well as a small one. There's also a butterfly garden. This museum butts up to the St. Tammany trace as well as the Kids Konnection playground which is free and amazing. Parking is across the street.

Huge beautiful park! A real treasure find for this Alaskan!…read more Took the Sugar Mill trail which is a nice, wide gravel trail. Very easy to traverse for just about anyone. Some walked while some biked. Sugar Mill is a looping trail about a mile long. The alligator boardwalk trail was closed, likely due to damage from Ida and hasn't been repaired yet. There was another trail, but we did not take it. The massive cypress are just awesome! The Spanish moss slowly wavering in the air as you walk underneath these giants is just captivating to me! We did not encounter any creatures except squirrels and a male Orchard Orbweaver and his impressive web. Sooo much space and things to do here we didn't even do all of it. There's big open fields for playing, a playground, tons of parking available. I did see the pier and water of Lake Pontchartrain in the distance, but we were too hungry to keep exploring lol $3 per person to enter the park - 100% worth it

Established in 1942, and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999, the most-visited park in Louisiana has nature trails, a sandy beach, a new, all-inclusive playground, a splash pad, and the ruins of an 1829 sugar mill situated among towering oaks. Love there is An all-terrain track wheelchair is available for use by visitors with limited mobility. Win win for everyone.

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.

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.
