I love north park because of the fact that there is a ton of space for activities like soccer/football/frisbee/running/yoga you name it. There is also tons of parking every time I've come to visit. I believe north park has the capabilities to be a great stop in Denham Springs for a majority of your outdoor adventures.

We were unaware that the park closes at 10pm and a worker came up to the window and started yelling at us. He was very rude even though we were apologizing and being very polite. He also threatened to call the sheriff on us if we didnt leave within 5 minutes. We're teenage girls btw. Also a swing is broken and most of them are too low to the ground and the restrooms are so disgusting. There is an ant pile in one of the stalls! Worst park i've ever been to.

Great park! There…read moreisn't much real "hiking" in Louisiana, but Port Hudson State Park gets pretty close to it, and it doubles as a Civil War commemorative site/museum :-). Came here on a Sunday in January, right after it had poured down rain the day before. It was $4 per person to get in (and $4 total in my case bc I came by myself) and was pretty easy to find, as it was right off state highway 61, which itself is easily accessible via I-10/I-110, and everything was super clearly marked. There were a few different areas you could park after paying at the entrance. I parked by the museum and started my trek through the woods there. The network of trails was super easy to find and follow. There were signs with maps posted at all the major trail intersections, and the trails themselves were pretty wide gravel paths, all of them pretty clear. In some places all of the tree roots were painted red so you wouldn't trip over them :-). What I loved, too, was that throughout the trails there were little informational signs pointing out different kinds of trees and natural landmarks, AND there were historical signs explaining what went down in the specific area during the Civil War. I wasn't too interested in stopping and reading, but I did here and there, and they were pretty interesting! Plus, it was kind of cool and exciting hiking from historical site to historical site. I was a little worried about having to wade through water, since like I said, it had rained the day prior, but luckily, the paths were mostly clear of puddles, except for in one or two places. I'll be back for more exploring!

It is also significant because it was the first place where African American military units fought under the Union Army. There are walking trails, picnic tables, restrooms, and an information center. Very interesting and well maintained. I look forward to coming back when not as many people are here.

Get out of the comforts of the indoors and explore Baton Rouge parks and outdoor recreation spots. We've got plenty of them here. This is a simple park, no playground, small walking path and a tiny covered picnic area. Every neighborhood needs a grassy park where kids can come frolic and play and residents can come for a jog or walk. It's fairly shaded, too so bring your picnic blanket and enjoy some time outdoors. Located directly behind the hotels on Constitution Ave, so if you need a break from the hotel come out here; it's a quick walk over. They are also very close to restaurants, bars and local shopping, too!

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.
