There is even a playground structure and a waterworks play area! Yes, plenty of fun for the kiddos! This park brings back many memories for me, since it was the first park that my daughter played t-ball at, yes, so cute, right? I have seen softball and baseball tournaments happen here for both the kiddos and adults. The park is fairly large and even large enough do several laps around the perimeter of it and your work out - done! If you visit the park right before school gets out, you may encounter the carpool pick-up for the elementary school across the street. Planning a kids birthday party? They have the perfect spot for it, which has a covered area that comes with the concessions area (you can use to store food, etc), plus there is plenty of ice! The rental charge is peanuts, plus you can decorate and use time is fairly lengthy.

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.
