North Sherwood Forest Community Park — Attraction in Baton Rouge

First and foremost, for those of you who are parents there is a decent inside area for children to play as well as a nice outside. This is a very calm park. I love that there is not a lot of calamity going on around me as I walk or jog around. The one thing I love about this park is that the sidewalk goes completely around surrounded by a lake that you can fish in if you'd like. However, the only issue I have with this park is that there are days that there are so many ducks. The issue is not with the ducks themselves, but the tiny splotches of dung that they leave behind along the parkway. Luckily, the establishment itself is pretty good at clearing that off along with the rain of course. There is an inside track that I also utilize and love. The only issue with the inside track is that it is definitely not designed for a lot of people. It is free to use, but there are only three lanes for walking one of which is a single lane that is used for running. Like I said before the perks of this is that there aren't that many people. It's neat in there and relatively clean (for the most part.) For the price of free--I would say you can't beat it. By-the-by, there is a inside gym but in order to use it you must have a $15...

Beautiful upgrade! All BREC Parks should be upgraded. I don't really care for the lake....after the Lil rains we been having lately, the water looks really high...also, the geese makes a mess and people are feeding them, I think. They are mean too.👀 Those two elements are negatives and a hazard. But just my opinion, that's only why I gave it a 4. Oh, I wish they would redo the inside track, now, that would be a Bonus!!!....But the park upgrades is several large pavilion with covering or trellis. There is children playground with rubber ground; a large wet area for them to play; even a huge SandHouse (that's right-house) with seating for the parents and most importantly, to keep the sand cool and contained (GENIUS!👍). Oh, still have the large basketball court and now a tennis court. Miles markers pathways; Seating, lighting Everywhere; Easy Parking; My Goodness! It is So much to be said about ALL the things they DONE right in this park for this community, that words really just can't explain, but go and take a stroll yourself and see our tax dollars paying off. The scenery is...

The place is awesome! Love the ducks outside. Very popular place for sure. Lots to do for all ages! Everyone I met while there was cool except for one guy that worked in the gym that musta thought I wasn’t paying so instead of just looking up my name AFTER I signed in he asks me if I had a membership. I told him yes, then he promptly went back to sleep. I kid you not, I literally never saw the guy lift his head from that desk except to walk outside or start collecting the trash if it was getting close to 8pm. Not trying to throw shade on the place but he was wrong for that. If I was working there, a middle aged white dude, and I asked him, a middle aged black guy, the same thing without even checking first, Lord only knows what would...
