There are two ballfields, two playgrounds, an 18-hole disc golf course, a fishing pier, and a boat launch. That pretty much covers all of your outdoor adventures!
Even though this is one of the most popular parks in Shreveport, there are plenty of picnic tables peppered around the park. It’s easy to find your own little corner.
