Nice mature Live Oaks spread their branches over the benches and offer some nice shade....a little ground fountain is pleasant to listen to as well as look at... Stopped in here after lunch on 5/13/14 and just had an enjoyable experience killing some time before having to go back for the second half of CLE I was attending... This would be a great place to enjoy lunch if one was brown bagging it or a cool place to chill with your cup of java from PJ's... Have seen this place many times but this was my first time realizing it was actually a park... If you're down around the Lafayette & Convention area of downtown Baton Rouge and have some time to kill or just looking for a place to chill out for awhile give this little oasis a try....

TLDR: Do yourself (and your furry friend(s)) a favor and check out Burbank Dog Park! You'll leave…read morewith incredibly happy and tired dogs every time! In moving to Baton Rouge from out of state, I was excited when I learned that the Burbank Dog Park was a short drive from my new house. I have two German Shepherd mixed breeds who love running and playing, and while our backyard is a decent size, having the potential to run in a 6-acre dog park sounded amazing! This park does not disappoint! The park is surprisingly clean with a 1/4 mile walking path. Everyone that I have encountered during our visits thus far has been friendly and I have not seen any misbehavior (from dogs or people)! In addition to the main space, there is a dedicated small dog section (separate entrance) and within the main space, there is a section with agility course activities (which I would love my dogs to try, but they are definitely not interested!). There is also a separate entrance to a section with a pond, but we have not yet explored this. The main space includes a dog water station and a gazebo with two picnic tables to enjoy some shade. Outside of the park is a dog wash station. There is plenty of parking! The only minor complaint is that there is not much shade other than the gazebo. There are trees, but none too close to the walking path, making it very hot; early morning or before close are ideal times to go (at least in the summer...which is probably obvious to anyone reading this). Note that the the Burbank Dog Park is closed on Mondays for maintenance.

It has an overhang for shade and very peaceful. Met some great people with friendly dogs. There are 3 sections, little dogs, big dogs and one with a pond. It's the best dog park I have ever been to. They also have baby pools for dogs! My dog was there and had the time of her life today!!

The big dog park has many benches, a ramp, and a stair area where you can sit and watch your dogs. Doggy bag bins set up around and so much room for your dogs to run. Parking onsite & surrounded by other park amenities (children's playground, tennis courts, etc). I would give 5 stars except the water fountains weren't working and the water that was out looked like it was super old/not clean. There is a wash off station for your dogs and multiple terrain options. Highly recommend if you're in need of a dog park!

Tried to stop by last year but the park was closed for renovations. Went by today and I thought it…read morewould be really fancy post renovations but it was not. Previous reviews indicate that the park can get pretty muddy post rain and that's still the case. Plus, it seems that nobody picks up after their pets at this park! How disappointing! There were so many doggy land mines throughout the dog park, I kept worrying that I had stepped in poop or that my dogs would while running around the park. Needless to say, we didn't stick around very long. Last thing I need is for my dogs to step on poop and tracking it into my car. Would make for a very unpleasant drive. Poop stations were readily available along the fence of the park and hanging trash bags, not sure why they didn't have actual trash bins available. I will say that it's nice that they offer a separate dog park for small pups and the plentiful benches are nice too but all the poop around the park is a big bummer but irresponsible pet owners are to blame for that.

Although the dog wasn't super socialized, the family was very friendly and It was sweet to see how excited the kids were about our dog and that her harness looked like a little dress. The kids and the dogs all ended up playing and having a really nice time. I'm not from this area so I found the multiple signs about children being left unattended a little unsettling and not really sure what that was all about. The park itself is a great size, with lots of grass for the dogs and a cemented area with benches and shade for the dog owners. There are some hoops for the dogs to jump through and plenty of space to run. This is a park we would definitely frequent if we lived in the area. Just next to the park is a reservoir where you can walk and I saw some ducks and geese and wanted to walk over but there are signs that say no dogs are allowed so we headed back to the car instead. This park has pretty much everything I look for in a dog park and if you need to let your pup out or you live in the area and want some place to help socialize your dogs, this is a good option.

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.

Capital Tennis Center is smaller than the other 3 tennis centers as it only has 7 tennis courts while the others have a minimum of 11 tennis courts --other than that, the procedures are the same--you can reserve courts in advance, or simply walk up and pay, there are at times individual and group lessons as well a ball machine available for rent. This location does have additional traffic for the worker as there's more non tennis foot traffic using the restrooms, water fountain and purchasing water and snacks but at the present time, the condition of courts and overall lighting makes the tennis courts at Capital One Tennis Center the best in comparison to independence, forest and highland. The staff at this location is polite and respectful.
