It's easier to keep an eye on your kids and the park is never over crowded. My son loves bringing his trucks into the sand area and I can sit and relax right next to him on the benches. There are restrooms right next to the playground/baseball fields. The walking trails are wide enough for multiple people to be walking, running and biking without bumping into each other- unlike highland. Overall great place and wish there were more like it in Baton Rouge.

Did I mention you can rent a kayak, canoe or paddle board for the lake and they have bikes you can rent too?! I had been looking up kayak rentals and they were all 40 minutes or more away and cost double even with a groupon. Then I happened to find this place and felt like I'd hit the jackpot. Not only did we kayak but we also rode bikes and played around like big kids. It was an awesome experience. The staff on hand was helpful resourceful and fun. They coached us through boarding, un boarding, and maneuvering our kayak. They definitely made us feel welcomed and want to come back.

A new person took over the program at Antioch Park and has utterly ruined it. Instead of kids getting to burn off some energy after spending an entire day sitting at a desk in school, they are forced to sit at a table and be quite.

WOW have they really refurbished it! The playground area is so nice and looked to be maintained very well. I noticed they have added a paved sidewalk area that goes back into the woods and although we did not follow it back I would love to come bike riding on it. Back in the day we had the woods and some dinky swings and a slide. This is a great upgrade. There is a nice children's play area including a larger set with monkey bars. slides, and several places to climb up and down. There is also a smaller climbing toy with a two sided slide for toddlers. Likewise there are infant swings - the old bucket type and swings for older children. I love the fact there is such a nice area you could really play kickball or run around.. fly a kite, etc. The tennis courts look great and so do the basketball courts. In the distance the baseball backstops are sill up and ready to be played on. Its really, really great to see the neighborhood park has been redone so nicely. I know I'll be bringing the kids back to play a lot more since seeing this. At one time BREC was doing doing programs fro kids at the park so if you are in the area it would be worth looking into!

Great park! There…read moreisn't much real "hiking" in Louisiana, but Port Hudson State Park gets pretty close to it, and it doubles as a Civil War commemorative site/museum :-). Came here on a Sunday in January, right after it had poured down rain the day before. It was $4 per person to get in (and $4 total in my case bc I came by myself) and was pretty easy to find, as it was right off state highway 61, which itself is easily accessible via I-10/I-110, and everything was super clearly marked. There were a few different areas you could park after paying at the entrance. I parked by the museum and started my trek through the woods there. The network of trails was super easy to find and follow. There were signs with maps posted at all the major trail intersections, and the trails themselves were pretty wide gravel paths, all of them pretty clear. In some places all of the tree roots were painted red so you wouldn't trip over them :-). What I loved, too, was that throughout the trails there were little informational signs pointing out different kinds of trees and natural landmarks, AND there were historical signs explaining what went down in the specific area during the Civil War. I wasn't too interested in stopping and reading, but I did here and there, and they were pretty interesting! Plus, it was kind of cool and exciting hiking from historical site to historical site. I was a little worried about having to wade through water, since like I said, it had rained the day prior, but luckily, the paths were mostly clear of puddles, except for in one or two places. I'll be back for more exploring!
