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.

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!

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.

Both times I went, I was with a large groups of kids to fish. It is a bit out of the way, so I would suggest going when you want to spend a good bit of time outdoors. They have bathrooms just a short walk from the fishing ponds, and they were clean both times I went there, though I think the paper towel dispensers were empty the first time I visited. They have a nice pavilion with a good number of tables where we had plenty of room to eat and enjoy the weather.

One thing I really didn't like about it is the fact that the trees go over the sidewalk for a good chunk of the walking path, so you have to duck, bend, or walk in the grass unless youre lucky enough to be short here lol.

This walk would…read morebe great in the summer because of all the safe from the trees, but after a rain and damp conditions- bring on the bugs! Thank goodness we had bug spray but I admit I have a phobia with bugs and just hearing them kinda "freaks me out!" My daughter loved it because of all the sounds of wildlife, the birds, the bugs (she loves watching her Mom freak out!) and she saw a snake....it had some muddy areas after the rain but it was an easy hike (pretty flat). The trails (2) were marked well - thank goodness! You do have the option for a longer hike, but with my phobia, we kept it short!!!

I have sent feedback to BREC regarding the following issues and hope to hear back soon: -broken sections on the plastic rock steps on the larger playground equipment which pose risk for getting cut since the pieces are sharp -exposed rusted metal on the smaller playground area steps, the rubber coating is degraded on the side rails which is exactly where little hands would be grabbing as one tries to climb -no restroom facilities outside of business hours which are 4:30-8:00PM Aside from these issues which would only affect those of us with small children, this park is a pretty nice park with some great facilities and space. The gravel lot is pretty well maintained, there are ample trash bins located near picnic tables and playground. There are plenty of benches and a few picnic tables, 2 under the covered pavillion, 2 in the shade of the trees next to baseball field. The playground is a good size with everything one would want for kids to play on. There is a basketball court and a tennis court--both could use a pressure wash and while the basketball net appears fairly new and in good condition, the tennis net is sagging a bit (still totally fine to play on) and both are shaded quite a bit in the mornings which is great for our hotter temperature months. There is also an open field beyond the playground and tennis courts which is a fun area for a picnic or to let the kids run lose, they always keep the grass cut. All in all, this is a pretty good park and once the repairs/updates are done on the playground equipment, it would be a great park overall and we would utilize it more. I would really like to see restroom facilities added as well though.
