The city did an excellent job with the renovations at prien park. Plenty of parking and the boat launch is too notch.

My pictures doesn’t do this beauty justice by a long shot! This place is absolutely beautiful and it’s the perfect place for a romantic brunch with your significant other or just a casual day with family. The air is crisp with freshness and the view from the boardwalk is magnificent. However, Bugs, misquotes & countless other critters come out and it’s their park after that. Other than that, you have yourself the perfect scenery for any ‘family’ friendly occasion.

There was quite a few other people outside of our wedding party, people were doing the 6ft. And mask, the children had a very nice play ground which really helps. As adults we all enjoyed.

I got married here, its a beautiful park, bike, walk, skate, jog, lay in the grass, whatever you want. There is on site bbq pits for use, and a water park for the whole family. Go kayaking on the lake, fishing (license needed). Its the most beautiful (PET FRIENDLY) park in lc, go check it out.. CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELVES AND YOUR ANIMALS... Its nice lets keep it that way.

I love to take my dad to the park because it brings back old memories of picnics with the family and flying kites. Thank you for making the park new. I am so proud it is part of my Lake Charles family and friends tour.

This is just a great park. There are 2 large triple stall boat lauches. There should be plenty of parking except for on the most crowded fishing days. There are also places where you can fish off of the back which has just had a new bulkhead put in there is a nice place to launch kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and other small watercrafts.The playground is decent size and the ground is padded and there is also a water fountain park for kids to enjoy. The park has at least a few tables under their own awnings where many people cut cake and open presents for kids birthdays.

Very beautiful park. Picked this place to try out my new kayak. Boat ramp has plenty of parking. I was more amazed with the sunset, even though a storm was rolling in. This is going to be my regular kayaking place.

Nice place to go jogging. Take the family and or kids. And a nice place to go walking or jogging with dogs. I have a nice little fenced-in park for the kids to play at. A little like Pavilion dock thing. And plenty of concrete trails to go jogging. Two fountains. And a water splash area.

The perfect place to exercise, or walk your pet. Also a nice place for a picnic lunch. Good for a photo shoot. And romantic spot to watch the sun set over the water. I believe there is also a play area for kids maybe a splash area too.

A beautiful little public park right on the lake. The pretty landscaping, fountains, and tracks make it a peaceful place to go for a quiet walk or just to enjoy the outdoors and weather. There’s a fenced in playground area for children and very nice indoor and outdoor facilities you can reserve for events!

Beautiful place to come with your family, kids, a date or spend some time alone. Its always clean and they have a lot to do for someone thats wanting to stay motivated to workout or just bring the kids for a fun day out. My advice about coming here or anywhere right now in this heat. Bring LOTS of cold water and wear light clothing. Its so incredibly hot and even though they DO have water fountains for humans and dogs the water doesnt always run cold. They have a fun water slash pad great for the little ones and I feel really safe when walking with friends or alone. Always keep your eyes and ears open anytime you are outside alone working out and have a good time being outside.

Prien Lake park is one of if not the best park in the Lake Charles area. Close second would be the lakefront park at the Civic Center. The park has outdoor exercise equipment, about a mile of walking track length, pavilions, an ampithetre, a boat launch, a kayak launch, a water park, playgrounds, a cool jetty you can walk out on, and an amazing view of 210 bridge! Easy access from 210 via the round about they installed a few years ago!-Dog friendly (it has poo bag stations)

Great park, they just added on to it. The paths are very clean. There are a couple kids play area with a water sorry area. By the very nice boat dock there are two big parking area that would be good for roller skating. I didnt count the benches but there must be at least fifty all around the area. Went to watch the sunset and let moving to see if it was a hey view lol.

Absolutely wonderful place to visit. The park was well maintained and just beautiful. People were strolling around, enjoying the views. There were plenty of benches to sit on, and the sidewalks were easy to maneuver on. We took some great pictures of the sunset and I-10 bridge.

Absolutely amazing Park. This is right next to the water so there are beautiful views as well as theyre being playgrounds for children, a walking path for Walkers and joggers. And this is a pet friendly Park also so bring the doggie. Bathrooms and sitting areas both covered and not are available as well as plenty of parking most of the time.

>+2112× its right down the road from the house. So its convenient. My son loves to play and go for a walk here. The part of the playground that the kids play on could use an update because the sun has made the corners of the tiles curl up and I see alot of kids fall because of it. But other than that, its pretty legit.

Prien Lake Park is great for your little ones. Its not as big as Millennium Park. If you just need to get out with the little ones for a while; then its the perfect place.
