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.

There's a limit because they don't want to overpack the place. The slots are in 30 min increments. There are people to oversee the playground, but you can't just drop them off and leave the kids there. You still have to be present. You have to take your shoes off first and there's cubbies for you to place them in. Then my favorite part is actually the handwashing station. There's 2 circles and you just place your hands and arms in there until it turns on. You remove your hands once the machine stops and then you dry your hands with some paper towels after. There's a large soft play area for kids.There's also a Jungle gym structure for bigger kids. There's a family rest room, nursing room, and changing room. This place has it all and there's plenty of space for parents to sit and watch.

Lots of spoons If you have a party, or any sort of trash, throw it away. The ground around the play park is gravel, little tiny rocks, and not enough if you're going to cover the ground, so it's mostly dirt. The equipment is faded, kinda dirty, but still playable. It's a park, what do you expect. There's openings on the sides of the fence, so you have to keep an eye on your child at all times just because of that. No pets. There's a book box which is pretty nifty for hiding painted rocks! There's a splash pad which is closed on mondays but oh well! But still run for the kids. There's a sand volley ball court, and a soft swinging area.

I am extremely disappointed by both the behavior I witnessed at this park and the staff's response…read moreto a very serious safety incident involving my 4-year-old daughter. There appeared to be a large birthday party group at the park, despite my understanding that parties are only permitted through official bookings on Friday nights. Throughout the day, several children from this group were cutting in line for the slides, pushing smaller children, and generally disrupting other families trying to enjoy their visit. My daughter and my 11-year-old nephew were among the children being pushed. After addressing the children myself and being ignored, I reported the behavior to a lifeguard. Unfortunately, things escalated into something far more serious. While my daughter was standing in shallow water showing me that she could finally touch the bottom and walk by herself, a girl who appeared to be around 7 or 8 years old suddenly grabbed her and held her underwater without any warning or reason. I was only a short distance away and immediately rushed to pull my daughter out of the water. She came up crying, coughing, and trying to get water out of her lungs while asking why the girl had done that to her. As any parent can imagine, it was absolutely terrifying. Had I not been right there, the outcome could have been much worse. I immediately reported the incident to the manager on duty. To my surprise, I was told that they weren't sure what could be done without knowing where the other child's parents were. I found that response completely unacceptable given the seriousness of what had just occurred. A child intentionally holding another child underwater should be treated as an urgent safety issue, not something to be brushed aside. I then went to the front office and was told that my contact information would be passed along to upper management and that I would receive a call. As of now, I have not heard from anyone. I also noticed a lack of enforcement of park policies throughout the day, including behavior issues and attire that seemed inappropriate for a family-oriented facility. Most concerning, however, is that a child was allowed to remain in the park after intentionally placing another child in danger. Drowning is one of the leading causes of death for young children, and this was not harmless horseplay. I hope management takes incidents like this more seriously in the future and improves both supervision and staff response. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this park to other families.

My wife booked a few nights in Tickfaw state park, sight unseen, to be more or less in the vicinity of New Orleans, a plantation tour, and a swamp boat tour that we had booked months in advance. As it turned out, we actually enjoyed this state park stay more than our visit to New Orleans! The state park entrance is actually at the back of a neighborhood of sorts, on a narrow two-lane road that cuts away from the highway at a weird angle. Once inside the park proper, visitors are treated to beautiful swamps, complete with cypress trees, Spanish moss, and all the critters you would expect to find here. The campground we enjoyed had full hook ups, a small wooden deck, and a long back-in pad for our trailer. There was also a resident raccoon who kept us honest about locking things up at night, and securing coolers and food. Tickfaw state park features long boardwalks with railings, that afford visitors beautiful hikes in different parts of the park through different kinds of trees and plants. Unfortunately, many of these were still damaged in the summer of 2022 from the previous year's Hurricane Ida that blew through southern Louisiana and surrounding areas. The only trail that was not affected by this was the one without a boardwalk, so we enjoyed a hike through beautiful pines that went down to the river. Despite most of the trails being closed and damaged, we still enjoyed ourselves here, and had a good time. In the evening, I enjoyed casting topwater lures in on the cypress knees and trees, and caught & released several big bowfin... A fish that is sort of a cross between a catfish a bass, and a pit bull I suppose. I'm not sure when we will be back through this part of the world, but Tickfaw State Park is definitely a place that I would stay again: off the beaten path but close enough to where you want to be, peaceful and quiet, and the kind of southern serene that helps a SoCal guy like me to slow down and enjoy life a little bit.
