I used to really love coming here to camp. I've been camping here for over 40 years. However, our…read morelast 2 stays but most especially this one is ridiculous. The amount of lack of consideration for fellow campers is horrendous. There is no one on site to call to ask for reinforcements of the rules. It's currently midnight and I hear people singing across the park. Our neighbors have finally gone to bed or moved to another campsite. The speed of golf carts and those of little kids driving them is crazy. This is a great place if you want to party but if you are looking for quiet peaceful decompression DON'T come here. You'll be even more stressed out.

Next to the pavilion is a spash pad to cool off on those hot summer days in Louisiana. There is a also a fun playground for your kids. Near the park is the Alexandria Zoo, which we didn't get to check out, but it looks small, but nice. Also, there is an old baseball field that is there too.

This park has a small parking lot and is a park that is known for it trails and happens to have a…read moresmall playground. The playground is half decent. It has a ship themed jungle gym that has a couple of slides. It is on a rubbery mat surface that is worn and has seen better days. The park is relatively well maintained, even though there are some areas that can use a little attention. There are 3 different paved trails that can bu used for jogging or walking. One of the trails has an observation deck off of the side of it that is nice, but you can see where they removed some graffiti from the wood. The deck overlooks a marsh area. The park has benches around the playground area and along the trails and has lots of green area to play catch or run around. The lawn is very well maintained and there is decent lighting along the trails. The park is dog friendly, if they are on a leash. I like this park, but it could be a little cleaner and the playground could be a bit bigger. This is a nice park to walk/run around to clear your head and/or take in the day.
