While any one of our 21 state parks are worth a road trip, there’s something special about neighborhood community parks. Next time you feel the need to get outside for a bit and immerse yourself in some natural surrounds, you can’t go wrong with visiting City-Brooks Community Park.

With endless amenities and tons of sprawling green space, it’s no wonder why City-Brooks Community Park is a popular park with locals in the Greater Baton Rouge Area.
