Armstrong Park — Attraction in Lafayette

Well, I wasn't at Armstrong Park, but across the street from it. Nice little community park, although the retention pond isn't marked off and should be! The loss of a young boy's life was found drowned there. Retention pond waters should have been tethered off, and the city took responsibility for the incident. This review is not saying anything against the park; it's a clean and very active park at times. Not intend to be pessimistic about this young boy's life; I knew the parents and the child was very hyperactive and took off from his house but knew he wasn't allowed there without the boy's parents. But it is something that is a problem with open retention ponds around the city parks. They found the child later that evening drowned. Sad as it is, but it's the truth. Retention ponds in these parks need to be tethered off to help eliminate the problem from ever happening again. I hope you found this review helpful. Best of...

The tennis courts are updated and in tip notch condition. The baseball fields are all kept in...
