Nice place to take our granddaughter, lots of room for kids to run and play. Just remembered to take hand sanitizer with you because Im sure they dont spray down the playground equipment.
TOOK ME A NICE 2 TO 3 MILE WALK OUT THERE WHILE MY LIL SON WENT FISHING I WOULDNT WENT A FEW MORE MILES BUT IT WAS TIME TO GO ITS VERY VERY NICE PLACE TO BRING FAMILY ND FRIENDS OUT FOR PARTIES GATHERINGS BIKE RIDING JOGGING OR WHATEVER I ENJOYED WALKING THERE
My my my. How things have changed over last 25 years. It looks like an African man hideaway
Had alot of fun with family and friends today just didnt have any where to use the restroom
Would be so much better Frisbee golfing if they mowed the grass.
My little 6 year old cousin had a ball playing soccer at the park. It was quiet and very peaceful. Later, we went to the boat launch and fed the ducks. It was a fun filled activity that only cost a few sore muscles.
Great disc golf course with a variety of hazards and mandatories. A few long four par holes and a few tunnels. There is also plenty of benches, tables, and a public restroom. One of the best courses in the area. Also pleasantly mowed.
In my opinion, Ford Park is one of, if not the best park in Shreveport. Its on Cross Lake. Perfect for picnics and walking or just hanging out. I would love to see The City of Shreveport have a summer concerts in the park, like most cities I travel to.
My favorite disc golf course
Wish they had a basketball goal, but other than that it was fine. If you play disc golf, it would be a great place to go.
Beautiful park.
Parks run down needs to be kept up
Good for the whole family fun and quiet
On the East side of the park (The lake side) The pavilions need roof repairs. They took out the bridge. The small peninsula could stand to be cleared of growth. On the West side. The old train, fire truck and tank are just sitting there rusting. They need to be repaired/restored. If you play Frisbee Golf, they have a course. I dont play, but I do see other people out there. They seem to be having fun. This park doesnt seem to be taken care of as it should.
Nice area for an nice event.
This place brings back so many memories of when I was little. I love going there wit my family to play baseball in the fields. Or celebrating birthdays, flying kites, having a BBQ, or just to jog around the trails.
This a nice park to spend the day at with the kids. It is kept very clean, the pavilions are in a good order as well.
Love walking there.so relaxing
Very nice place I go theyre often
This is a great place to have family get togethers and cook outs. It spacious enough that several families can be in the same vicinity and not get into each others space. Also security rolls through periodically for security purposes.
Im giving this park 2 stars. This park is a very nice area for large gatherings and is very shaded from the sun. The issue I have is the play area for the kids. Well its HORRIBLE! The equipment is very outdated. This is probably the same play equipment that was there when i was a kid and coming back as an adult, you would think its updated. The paint is chipping, the slides are rusted, the swings make this loud excruciating noise because its rusted, and some swings are missing. This is sad, but yet Betty Virginia is updated every so often.
The disc golf course is nice, but a physical map at the start would be helpful.
The restrooms need to be updated
Wonderful Park we held our Family Reunion there. Only downer was the ants that bit some members of the family.
It was very peaceful relaxing great time to fish
A beautiful park, water view, walking trails, swings for the youngsters.
2 different playgrounds, lots of trees, awesome park! We stopped by on the way back to Texas.
Didnt catch no fish but its all good
Beautiful park very near Cross Lake. Lots of pine trees and open area for any gathering.
SPAR does a great job of keeping our parks and recreational areas beautiful
I had a great time its a beautiful park
Me and my husband go here everyday when we get off to talk and relax love it very peaceful
Minor issues with landscaping. For a holiday it should have been cut.
Great
Awesome disc golf course
Going down hill. I wish they would take care of the steam locomotive at the park.
Great, clean, friendly place!! Frisbee golf course is a blast!
Love it.. My favorite park!!
Great peaceful park. Great for kids
Very nice. Hot this time of year.
Its fun for disc golf or just sitting and reading outside.
Very nice public fishing pier. Not much luck today but thats how it goes sometimes. Restrooms available, little dirty though. Definitely worth a fishing trip.
Its a great place for family get together and enjoyment.
Great disc golf course that will challenge any skill level. Dries out quick after rain.
Bathroom were locked
Nice clean park a great shaded frisbee golf course.
Nice& quiet
Grew up nearby. It was nice to see the lake again.
A very nice park
Chill place to hang out & great view of the lake, fishing activities and much more.
It was great. I loved it. Im going back tomorrow.
Its a long-standing park not a whole lot of activities to offer but we like to fish although the docks are no longer there
Kids had fun, but the playground is in terrible shape. I dont know why some our tax maoney doesnt go towards things we use, such as roads and parks
Outdated play ground. Faded, worn out. Metal was rusting. The grounds were clean and well kept. Lots of people using areas. Bathrooms coulda used a little attention but nothing terrible.
Great for all types of lake side activities and fishing
Awesome course. Love the SDGA
Nice park and great for family reunions or gatherings.
Very nice
This park is good for family reunions but the need more things for the young children to do. As in a basketball court. Young children love to play ball.
Each side has a loop road that works for a run. Disc golf course at the park as well.
Great place to bring kids to have fun!!
The playground is gone.
Summer best time
Great, lots of space to have s great time.
Great for picnics or jogging!
Great place to picnic!
Peaceful. Freedom.
So someone said ford park would be a great place for a picnic and kayak trip on the east side of the park near the lake so thought I would check it out after work at 5:30 pm. Well must have been a couple of hundred young adults partying, blocking the roads, throwing trash all over, riding on car hoods. Not the peaceful park I was expecting. I called the cops so they could make rounds inside this park. I hope this was a one time thing but it was awful. Not good when you don’t feel safe at a park.
Nice place for family gathering!!
A place of solitude!
Nice clean had a good time
It was crisp and clean. It didnt smell bad by the water and the restrooms were decent.
Its nice and peaceful
Loved the forest vibe!
They close the park to early... with proper security days like today Easter Sunday would be a exceptional day to visit.
Love to my disc golf course here
Nice view, very calm and relaxing for anyone to spend time with themselves or anyone.
Great view!
Its a nice place if you just want to take a nice walk or jog. You can play frisbee with friends or even bring your dogs along so they can get out and enjoy the scenery.
Nice old disc golf course. New signs and baskets would make it awesome.
Very relaxing
Very fun disc golf course
I like it, there
Love the vastness of this park. There is something for everyone.
Really nice disc golf course there
Love it, love the view when ever I go home!!
Hated seeing people trash on the water edge. There a walkway I walked on saw beer cans and bottles. Dont put your trash in natural habitat. Lets keep all Louisiana lakes clean from litter.
Soaring pines on the south shore of cross lake. Best Frisbee golf course in Shreveport.
Calm, peaceful place to check out once in a while.
The park was very dirty after the Easter Sunday crowd
Fun place to visit
