It pains me to give Girard Park a one-star rating because it does offer a lot of really nice things for individual and families to do. But this rating really is for whomever runs the center on the weekend. When you come to work your job is to work. Not just sit around and not do anything when it is required that you do something. My motto is and has always been. You come to work to work not just to sit around and do nothing. read more

Our kids enjoyed this park tremendously. It's beautiful and offers so much. From swinging, to basketball, to even fishing. I recommend over any park in the area. read more

I came to Lafayette 11 years ago and visit this park 4 to 6 times a year. Usually with my kids and anytime I have visitors from outside the area. There are some nice man made ponds to sit and view and you will see dozens of geese, ducks and nutria (big rats!). There is a running track around the entire park, a disk golf course, baseball courts, play-sets, swings and slides for kids, a public pool and picnic tables all over the park to eat, sit and visit. We love coming here to take a walk and feed the ducks. You will also have Turtle and even fish come to the shore edge to feed. Very cool. If your new to the area, been here forever or just visiting, this is a nice place with plenty of parking to stop and spend a relaxing 30 minutes or several hours. Enjoy! read more

I really hate writing 3 star reviews because they seem negative to me. When I mark Gerard Park at 3 stars, I mean that they are "A-OK" in that they are a decent park but are nothing to rave about. The ponds are pleasant enough but become boring after only one or two visits. The best part about Gerard Park are the gazibos with BBQ pits. Makes the park a great place to plan gatherings for social clubs and friends. read more

I enjoy Girard Park for bday parties, walking the track, feeding the ducks, and just quiet time.

Red Lerille's Health & Racquet Club

Everything positive that you have read in the reviews over the years about Red's is true…read more Unfortunately, Red himself passed away and much has changed. It is so apparent that some important standards left when he did. It is still a fabulous facility that is very well equipped. Everything that I can point out as a negative can be traced back to staff not doing their jobs. I can remember back when Red had a courteous staff that kept everything picture perfect. Now when I go in, it pangs me to see dirty towels strewn about the facility, trash cans overflowing, garbage on the floor, etc. Unsupervised kids is another problem. Inattentive staff compounds that issue. Not long ago, I witnessed a kid jumping down from a second floor walking track so his friend could film it. It was in full view of the front desk, but their attention was on their phones. I tried to report this to another staff member who let me know that it wasn't his area to deal with. I would hope that they would get on the ball and bring the facility back to its glory. If you can't do it for the members who pay a premium price to go, at least do it to honor the man who brought one of the greatest gyms in the country to Lafayette.

There seems to have been a lot of infrastructure improvements over recent years, there are very nice concrete RV Sites with full hookup, the entrance road into the park is a little rough requiring you to mostly travel at idle speeds. There is a large boat launch and parking lot located before you get to the park's entrance so the traffic pattern inside the park is free of boat trailers and tow vehicles. There are plenty of covered pavilions for picnicking and getting out of the sun as well as a nice concrete area at the end of the park designed for fishing and crabbing and it seemed like a lot of the visitors were here for that. There was absolutely no cellular service on most of the drive in and inside the park so plan ahead, maybe your service provider will have better results. I also recommend you fuel up before coming here I did not see any convenient stores or fueling options along the 18 mile drive once we took the exit off LA90. It's a beautiful setting and seems to be a popular area for boating, fishing and camping with a Louisiana vibe...

There are many shops/restaurants around, and I have been to their spa. I tried to stay at the hotel for a weekend when I was coming into Lafayette again, and the communication is absolutely horrible. I called 4 or 5 times--left messages with no call back, and once I finally did get in touch with someone they said hello and hung up on me. I went to book online also and their site kept giving me glitches. 4 stars for the area, but really only 1 star star for the communication. Don't know if it is better service once you actually are able to book a room.

We were presented with a young man who had an AirPod in so he didn't hear the addition of a pepperoni pizza which we noticed after he closed us out. Drink machine had ZERO ice which the same server had to do by himself. We had 2 orders of sweet potato fries and they came out cold. When asked to make new ones the they only picked up one plate instead of both so we had to wait even longer. The sides are $6! As for the games unfortunately we didn't have time for bowling, but we enjoyed the arcade. There is a $2 card activation so keep that card to pass on lol. There is a bunch of VR games but I would not put the goggles on. Feels like a sty waiting to happen. I would go back for the daily special days.

Broken laser tag, we can find much closer to home with a refund and an apology at least. No thanks. This was our second new margaritaville experience and second bad one. Thats on me I guess. Sorry for the long post.
