Affectionately called the duck pond. Multiple playground areas that the kids love to enjoy. Slightly dated and in need of cleaning but we still love to come here.

The Duck Park wasone of the places we went when we took my son to Louisiana for his birthday. It was nice. The only negative was we had to park across the street from the park and walk over. There was no cross walk for pedestrians.

Had a day with my Grandmother, mom, uncle, and step dad with both of the kids... It was awesome only think that would have made it better is if the other 2 kids would have been there. O and maybe try sweet bread for the ducks!

Perfect place to sit & relax with ducks or take a slow walk enjoying the peace, meeting for lunch at a shaded picnic table, or letting the kids play on the playground.

Plenty of play equipment, benches, vantage points, trash cans (for the ones who use them), ducks to feed, and even turtles. Only 3 stars because its a bit worn, the crosswalk isnt the greatest, and there were some ants.

This park is easily accessible from Kings Hwy, although parking can fill up easily on busy days. SPAR does a good job keeping the trash picked up and keeping the playgrounds maintained. Not to mention... DUCKS!

The Duck Pond is always a fun place to go to. Many people bring their children out with bread, crackers, etc to feed the ducks. There is a very nice playground for the children, picnic tables, restrooms and a nice walking trail. #LocalGuide

The granddaughters love to go to the Duck Pond, we fed the ducks and also a few nutrias then they played till they were tired. Looks like the city may be behind in cutting the grass.

Great place. Very well fed ducks and geese -- they were not interested in my leftover fancy croutons or Zapps. I just wish people wouldnt trash the place.

Other than the ducks being there and the playground being decent is the reason I gave this place 3 stars. Its filthy with trash and old food. We didnt even stay for 30 minutes and it was so nice outside too. My kids and I are very disappointed.

I lve this park and so did my children ages 12, 5 and 4. The duck pond was beautiful and a great place for family photos. The have three seperate play areas one for very small children ages 1-4, an area for middle aged children ages 4-6 and an area for older children. My youngest two had fun at all 3 and my oldest stuck to the area for older children. The play areas are somewhat near the water but you can hang out between the play areas and the water if your concerned they run near the water. Platt areas have shredded tires (bits of lose rubber) as the flooring great for the children terrible if your in a wheel chair or have a hard time walking.

Review №33

It has been a great place for the kids to play. The equipment is showing some wear and some signs of abuse. The bayou still makes for a beautiful relaxing backdrop. Great place to take a book and read on a bench on an overcast day. Nice breezes along the bayou.

Great park! They have ducks! Geese! And parents and grandparents with little kids running around everywhere! My kids love this place! But best of all? THERE IS A FREAKING WHOLE LIBRARY FULL OF AMAZING BOOKS RIGHT NEXT DOOR!!!!! Why arent you there already?!

Review №36

This park is.... functional I guess. Many functions of each set are broken. Such as steering wheels, portal views, and so on. It doesnt appear to be cleaned very often either. The rubber bark is all over the place where its not supposed to be, there is trash everywhere, and much of the benches are in disrepair.The bathrooms provided are absolutely disgusting as well. There is literally feces filling the toilets or spread all around them. It makes you regret ever walking in.Trash bins are frequently full.The only saving grace is the pond portion, which has plenty of ducks to observe and take pictures of.But there are FAR better places than this one to go to.

Decent place to play frisbee golf if you need a change from clyde fant. There is an equipment setup for small children. Not the best park in the world but far from the worst.

This is a great park. Locally it is referred to as the duck pond. There many ducks and several geese. Kids have a great time feeding the ducks and geese, then playing on the various age appropriate play qreas. There are places to just sit and enjoy nature and a large covered patio with multiple picnic tables.

The Duck Pond is a must in Shreveport there are plenty of play equipment and swings for the little ones to play on. You can fish there and the ducks are so fun to watch and feed. I wish people would be less trashy when they visit here. Don’t leave your trash on the ground when there are trash bins everywhere. Don’t harass the ducks and stress them out. And please do not mess with the eggs. The last time we visited there was sewage spill and we could not stay. I hope they have fixed this!

This has always been one of the nicer parks, lately though the water has been terribly polluted and there is a family of nutra rats that live here. Still nice, just not as nice.

Review №45

This used to be a really great park until a certain clientele discovered it and started coming. Now the park stays in shambles and has all sorts of litter strewn about on the grounds and even in the water. If said clientele would only throw their trash into the many provided containers this place would be nice again.

Noce little park for kids. Slides, seesaw, swings to help children enjoy. Ducks in the pond add to its beauty and attraction. Moderstely enough parking space. Restrooms dirty and ill maintained.

It was a beautiful pond setting where you could feed the ducks, geese and fish. It was lots of run and very very relaxing. There is also a playground area here for kids and there are also barbecue grills where you can have a cookout. It is a wonderful fun place for the whole family.

Wear protective clothing and mosquito repellent. Popular with young families, the Duck Pond is a small neighborhood park, located next to a little stream. Located on part of an old river, which used to flow to Natchitoches, before Captain Henry Shreve cleared the Great Red River Raft in 1838.

A lovely little playground by a duck pond. It was very beautiful and perfect temperature. Someone tore out most of the bushes where the ducks used to make their nests and raise their young. There were very few ducks and geese than years past and we didnt see any ducklings.

This is a great getaway for little kids to explore and play and fun for adults to take a short break from the hustle and bustle of every day life and busy times to walk the dogs.

This is a great park to take children to. The children all play together. There are benches for parents. They have shreds of rubber on the playground area. This park is commonly called The Duck Pond or Park because you can feed the ducks and occasional goose. They come right up to you and will take it out of your hand if you dont throw it fast enough. Surprisingly, some people also fish here. Convenient parking and quite easy to find. My husband and I have also gone during the week at lunch time to with takeout food. Its usually nice and quier then unless its sumnertime.

The Duck Pond had been around since I was a child. The equipment has changed, but the park is still the same. This is a lovely park in a great location. There are covered seating areas to eat lunch or relax and the bathrooms are kept relatively well maintained. The Broadmoor Library is in walking distance of the park, so if you want to cool off on hot day you can pop in there and borrow a book. I enjoy taking my nephew here on weekends so he can run and play with the other kids.

Review №78

This is a nice little place. There is a covered pavilion with picknick tables, equipment for kids, benches close to the pond, and lots of ducks. If you play Pokemon Go there are two poke stops and a gym here. It is also within easy walking distance to the library. I see young and adult fisher folk looking for a bite occasionally if they can convince the ducks they arent there to feed them.The equipment is really for toddlers and not covered in any way but overall a nice little place to relax especially if you have little ones.
