You can enjoy the woodsy views and sometimes catch a glimpse of some critters like rabbits. We enjoy walking our dog here. There is a station for pet waste and it's usually well-stocked with plastic bags. The trash cans are also emptied frequently and the grass is maintained decently. It's a nice place to walk up and down Stumberg if you live in the area! I'm happy to have this little park here.

I dated this guy who brought me here on our first date. While I hate that guy now, I'd meet him over and over to discover this park!!

We love the Perkins park! The kids playground area is great for my 3 year old. It's much smaller…read morethan the play area at the highland park but I'd rather it that way. 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.

I've been here before on a guided hike and got learn about the unwanted plants and trees that ended up growing there. I was grateful to see that during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was still open to public. Unfortunately, people did not physically distance like I would have wanted them to, but oh well. If you want to get in touch with nature a bit, come check this place out, especially before it gets too hot outside. When we arrived on Sunday, there were a lot of people, but parking was still plentiful. It's closer to Central and north Baton Rouge area. It's also across the street from the famed church Life Tabernacle Church. I can only see myself going back there during the fall and spring months... summertime there will not be happen.

There are walking paths great for jogging and taking a stroll through the woods. My favorite part was the man made beach in the back at the comite river. The water only got as deep as my knee. It was nice to just play around in the water and play on the tire swing someone put up. We also liked to sun bathe on the sand bank. Some people made fires there at night. It was a nice and peaceful way to relax. It's a good spot to bring your dogs as well! Be careful though because we have stumbled upon snakes a few times on the trail path to the beach!

This park is awesome…read more The North Sherwood Forest community park has lots of different things to offer; from the young at heart to the matured at heart. This park looks like it's been revamped and been turned into a very beautiful setting for recreational purposes. A spectacular feature for the park is a very nice and well put together spray ground with playground equipment surrounding. There are lots of seating areas around the spray ground, some open to the sun, others covered by latticework structures, and yet still some close by that are covered. The park has a moon shaped lake with a walkway kind of like a Riverwalk or boardwalk that travels along side of it. There is a dock on one side of the lake ideal for fishing and a protrusion on the boardwalk section also ideal for fishing. There are plenty of public restrooms and water fountains all around the park. There are plenty of grass areas open for play like soccer or hitting baseballs. One of my favorite features is a calisthenics exercise area equipped with stairmaster elliptical leg machines also dip bars, pull up bars, and sit up benches. Another really nice feature is a gigantic, covered sandbox area where parents can sit on benches around the sandbox while children play. BREC has been putting together some extra exceptionally spectacular parks around Baton Rouge. If you get a chance to come experience this park, please do as you will not be disappointed.

Both times I went, I was with a large groups of kids to fish. It is a bit out of the way, so I would suggest going when you want to spend a good bit of time outdoors. They have bathrooms just a short walk from the fishing ponds, and they were clean both times I went there, though I think the paper towel dispensers were empty the first time I visited. They have a nice pavilion with a good number of tables where we had plenty of room to eat and enjoy the weather.

Thank goodness we had bug spray but I admit I have a phobia with bugs and just hearing them kinda "freaks me out!" My daughter loved it because of all the sounds of wildlife, the birds, the bugs (she loves watching her Mom freak out!) and she saw a snake....it had some muddy areas after the rain but it was an easy hike (pretty flat). The trails (2) were marked well - thank goodness! You do have the option for a longer hike, but with my phobia, we kept it short!!!
