    Multilevel play equipment with loads of variation
    Stacey D.

    Awesome park. We travel a lot and visit a lot of parks. Our son (nearly 4) and I spent 4 hours here. With the multi level equipment (fully accessible!), edible garden, sound garden, splash pad and large bathrooms with water fountains we had the best time! Tons of shade, a dozen swings, huge variety of manipulatives on the play equipment. It is attached to a school so during school season the park is closed until 3:30, but during the summer we were there at 8:00 am with no problems. Full Blog Post: http://bit.ly/BestPark

    I been to this park yesterday I had a great time me, my kids and my husband. my kids enjoyed the music area even though it was distorted a little bit they ran and played until they couldn't play no more. It was fun

    Playground also part of Leaps and Bounds program, Louisiana's first park to do so. Providing boundless equipment for all needs

Just a mere few weeks after 9/11/01, this city hosted its' annual Fall Festival, the Red River Revel. And during this particular year, the Gypsy Songman himself, Jerry Jeff Walker was to be headlining one of the Saturday nights. My chums and I, all huge, adoring Jerry Jeff fans, went to the show in full vigor. I myself, consuming what was pretty much my own body weight at that time, in draft beer, during each and every song, and after show's end, then venturing to a local tavern across town, where I would ultimately end up unconscious, and seeking the comforts, spread eagle no less, of said tavern's convenient outdoor parking, and the asphalt thereof. And this, only after regurgitating some of my stomach's contents into an empty pint glass, inside said tavern. Then there was July 4th, 2005. It was the night before my Father passed away. I sat in my Father's hospital room, and he, on his death bed. The television hanging on the wall, was tuned in to a local station, which was broadcasting live from this very park, for its' annual Independence Day celebration. And on this night, at this very sad moment, I remember sitting in that chair in that room, my Father resting, and looking up at that television screen, and seeing all the people, all the visitors to the park that day, families, and couples. As the camera panned the large crowd, hundreds, maybe thousands of faces. They all looked so happy. So carefree. Life was so beautiful for them. I was going through one of the worst times of my life. And then, down at the festivities, the recorded voice of Louie Armstrong, and his song, "What A Wonderful World" began playing. I could hear it on tv. My Father remained asleep peacefully. I just began crying. Of course, there are other memories of this park, less heavy, and not as important maybe. I remember another Red River Revel, years later. Where I jumped up on stage with local band Dirtfoot and showed all forward looking eyeballs my latest and greatest dance maneuvers, as interpreted from the music the band was playing. This delighted both my future wife and festival security immensely. There have also been countless enjoyable viewings of outdoor films here courtesy of Movies and Moonbeams. Recently, this park was deluged with waters from the adjacent Red River, and suffered extensive damage. In recent months, as festival seasons have come and gone, this area has not been available or open. It appears now that most, if not all, repairs, as well as planned upgrades, are now complete. Hopefully, this park will once again become the focal point of all activity and highlights during festivals, as well as day to day downtown recreation.

Most of the people working and managing this zoo were so lovely and kind. I really like that they give you a cone of animal feed with the purchase of your ticket (I bought 3 tickets, so I got 3 cones)! The feed really incentivizes the animals to come say hello. At this petting zoo they also have a cute splash pad, which my daughter loved and it's perfect for a cool down. Additionally, there is also a giant bouncy house in the shade. It's perfect to get the kids all sorts of stimulation. Most importantly, DO NOT MISS OUT ON THE HAY RIDE! It is worth making sure you catch the hay ride through the property as you get to see additional, much larger animals. Not only are the animals miraculous, but they come running over bc you get to feed them! The hay ride was absolutely one of my favorite parts. The only drawback during my time there was upon initially entering the office for admittance there was someone bleaching a cage. I was trying to get instructions from the staff and my daughter, who has autism, strayed over to the cage area despite me continuously telling her to come back. I got a hold of my daughter and directed her away from the area when suddenly an employee (volunteer?) sort of got in my face telling me she can't be over there and she needs to listen or something. I was like I understand, but my daughter doesn't understand due to her disability. I'm not sure she meant to come off as harsh as she did, but if you've ever tried to get instructions and control two kids at once sometimes you need a little grace from people. Other than that encounter, I found this to be a lovely outing and a great experience.
