Gorgeous view. Clean park. Dog park currently closed for construction, just FYI. Kids liked watching the bulldozer working on the dog park area though. LOL
Truly a gem for Baton Rouge. Whether playing in the park, the dog park, walking the lakes or visiting the Gallery, I have always enjoyed my time at City Park.
Great park. We love to go in the morning. The regular parents, grandparents, and sitters are diverse, welcoming, and a joy to be around. The park had great play areas, sidewalks for bike or scooter rides, and lots of big mature trees for climbing kiddos.
This is a nice place to walk or run. There isnt a playground, but there are several lakes to walk around, a little beach area to sit with the kids, and plenty of ducks to feed
Not large, but a nice space to visit and easy trail down to the lake, by the golf course, dog park and on to LSU. On site Tennis with walk-up reservations, and dont forget about the lawn bowling field/greens.
Nice place for all kind of activities. Clean and calm area.
Beautiful area if you feel like fishing, running, biking, or just picnicking on a blanket this is the place for you
This park is very well kept. Ive never seen any trash, the play equipment is well maintained, and the wood chips are raked every time I come with the kids. Theyre are plenty of benches, a bathroom, and water fountains. Attached Id a dog park that i live bringing my dog to. There is also plenty of grassy places to lay out on a beautiful day. The LSU lakes are close by if you want to take a walk, ride a bike, or feed the ducks.
The park staff is awesome and keep it very clean.
I wish the golf portion of the park would be open for walking, biking, etc. Golf takes up most of the space, and if you stand too close or enter the golf area, you are instructed to move away because it is too dangerous. The poblem is that the golf area is near everything, so unless you are in the childrens/dog park, everything else is too dangerous. It is a beautiful, well kept park, but even the kids splash pad is within the range of a gulf ball.
Great location. Quiet. Nice working staff
Great fun for kids and adults...oh and dont forget Dog Park currently under construction coming soooon!
Love this park. Nice and shaded by trees.
Great free fun for the kiddos !!! Feed the ducks and then walk around to the park and let the kids run out all the energy they can. Lots of fun on a sunny cool day!!!
Love it... Great place for kids of all ages. Cant wait to go in the Spring and Summer. Educational AND fun!!!
I like this park, I hope more people come to this park, because more people means more fun for kids, and Sometimes we just need a break and sit down to breathe air and relax with nature, so this is the perfect place more nature and life, and less PHONES
I enjoy looking out at the water, and watching the ducks play and fight.
Good people. Friendly service. Theyre a cash only operation.
Beautiful park! Plenty of trees to keep you cool, tables to eat at, room to walk around, huge playground, and a nice dog park that stays really busy.
Terrific place to walk.
Beautiful trees, huge and looming, older than the roads and more magnificent.
One of the most peaceful, Serenity, places to go. When you need to decompress. & be one with nature.
Quiet area, great for small social gatherings or golf, or apparently hunting down Pokemon since my roommate just discovered Pokemon go. They put a pokestop, I think, in the parking lot. The parking lot is very nice.
Overall just a decent park for the families to enjoy with their pets and sport activities.
Nice quiet and peaceful
Nice, clean park with plenty of people biking, jogging, playing on park gym, and letting their dogs play inside the fenced area.The ladies restroom was out of order, though. Not sure for how long, but this was late Friday going into a beautiful spring weekend. Girls were having to go into the mens room. Not good.3/22/19
Nice conveniently located and safe place to spend the afternoon with the family.
Nice park with lots of wildlife we stopped off to break our journey and stretch our legs
Celebrated part of my birthdayWith some friends. Nice and shady. Bathrooms very clean.
Beautiful!
This is a major green space in the city. Picnic Hill looks out over the dog park on one side and the rolling terrain of the golf course on the other. The streets circumscribing the Lakes are great for a bicycle ride, a run, or a stroll. The is a fair amount of bird life in the area with a good mix of small song birds and waterfowl. Well with a visit.
Awesome place, my introvert puppy dog ended up leading around a pack that included a Great Dane and Rottweiler. Im loving this place.
Totally awesome
A nice quiet place to go for good thinking time.
Wow! So great, theres so many things for your kids to do and their not just make believing, they get to do real things to show them all kinds of different jobs it really is a great place
Great playground. Too bad dog park is closed.
The pork is a great place to be when you need some cooling now you need some there I need to take a walk just need to relax Brinkleys to be natures beautiful
Ancient oaks, wide spaces to bike plus clean restrooms and a dog park .... none of it too crowded to enjoy.
This is a very good place to take a family or pets
If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would but because I cant, this is why I give 4. This park is great, I spend 1-2 hours here nearly every day. I go here because its very close to campus, where I live. Its not nearly as big as the Burbank dog park & it doesnt have a small/large dog separation but I have only ever had a few issues with the varied dog sizes (most of the time it has been the owners fault bringing a dog younger than the rule required limits). There have been a few issues with small holes in the gates where smaller dogs have gotten out & having the childrens playground right next to the dog park has resulted in unsafe/uncomfortable events where children are unattended in the park. Ive only had an issue with these things a handful of times but for an honest review, I feel necessary mentioning it. The times I have met the park employees taking care of the dog park have always been great, very nice people. Its not as nice as other parks because of the size but my dog loves it, it is in a great location for those near campus or downtown & there is a lot of regulars here that are very good people with great dogs.
The breeze was nice today at the top of the hill. There was a lady throwing the ball for her dog. You can hear some kids laughing while they played on the playground off in the distance. Very nice park.
Awesome thing for Children.
Went to dog park people does not watch their dogs theyre very inconsiderate
Beautiful and well kept park. I cant wait to continue to explore it.
Love coming here to walk the dogs. Can make a decent 3mi excursion to the dog park and back.
Great place to work out run
Beautiful
Great shady hammock spots to discuss the dismantling of capitalism
Such a beautiful place to bring your family
Great place to go when you have some time to yourself.
A great nature trail to get a good workout. You can walk the entire lake and when your done, you can walk to the next lake if your up for the challenge lol. And to top it off you can go fishing and have a picnic. Definitely all day enjoyment.
Nice and quiet, shaded but the bathroom was not open!!
The Baton Rouge Gallery was where I took ballroom dancing, sponsered by BREC in the 1960s. Replacing the pool with a splash park was genius!
The lake is beautiful but, the surrounding area, not so much.
Water and view very nice! Traffic noisy!!!!
Pretty little park...One Love
Fun park. Part of the playground was closed due to repairs that were going on.
Great park. Will definitely vist again.
The kids had a great time running around and playing and making things.
It is a great place for the kids to play under the shadows
Very well maintained! Fun playground!
Nice very clean friendly people
Its a great place to pull in, relax, and eat lunch while watching the ducks walk pass and swim. It is also a great place to get out and get your cardio up. There is a track that you can walk, run or ride your bike around the lake or you can actually explore the whole lake area and travel around the winding roads and enjoy the scenery. The house are beautiful, the lakes are peaceful and its just an enjoyable scene.
Its a nice place for a picnic
Beautiful! Walk,ride,wave board,run,and more...
I love the bike ride all the way down around the lake
Beautiful park good location. Great for walks hikes picnics. Seems to be a good place for fishing also and nature as well.
A beautiful place to sit and read
Lovely park, and it has a wonderful running trail around the lake.
Very great picknick spot
The parks are nice.I have problem with dog parks. Im a disabled Vet.with a Akc registered emotional support dog.My dog is a American Pit bull XL.He is a large dog with a small dog mentality.He is 23mos still puppy playful. The dog is not aggressive, loves children.I have problems with other owners in park because of his size and breed.He has his tag Identifying him as a service dog.Im contacting my city council rep.to discuss the issue.
I went walking with my spouse for the first time there and I loved it, the cars still speed around the lake, there are a lot of curves so they should be more cautious. Overall I enjoyed the walk and we will be training to begin running again and thats a area I definitely would recommend.
Fun for the little ones
Awesome science experice! The kids had hours if fun, while learning! This place gets an A+
Very nice park with multiple bag /waste stations. Mature trees, benches and a playground. Very easy on /off I10
Beautiful. Lots of walking.
I ride my bike through here to get too a friends house love biking through
Large playgrounds with separate picnic table area and plenty of benches and picnic tables around playground(s)-- very well kept and clean.
Beautiful!
Nice family atmosphere. Clean fun park. Close to dog park. Fun in the sun
Beautiful park, loved watching the various birds, seeing the golf course and learning from geocaching that there used to be a zoo in the park. Very nice. Plenty of parking.
Nice park to go with kids and family
Love going here and eat lunch on lunch break
Awesome friendly beautiful
Not a bad place to live
It beautiful for families but the high water now bring unwanted creatures gators so be careful
Great place to workout and just enjoy the outdoors
Where i take my doggies, gotta stop though my dogs are on a high protein raw diet and have good parasite protection, but every time i bring them they come home with large mature fleas all over and i have to treat them again, not recommended for people such as i that want as little insectecide on their pets like me, state should do better at elemination of the grounds!!!!!
For too many reasons where words cannot be found to express.
