Small towns are often the keepers of some of the most incredible hidden gems in the state. They’re always hiding the best restaurants, the most unique museums, and the most wonderful attractions that are fun for the whole family. Leesville is one of those charming small towns in Louisiana that you may never have heard of, but it’s home to one of the most creative parks in Louisiana, and the whole family will love it.
When you’re looking to take a peaceful stroll through one of Louisiana’s most beautiful parks, make your way over to Leesville’s Art Park.

The perfectly manicured green space has a paved walkway that will take you throughout the park, and you’ll be able to pause here and there to check out the various sculptures and artwork in the park.

There are interpretive signs peppered throughout, so you’ll learn about the art including how it was made, who it’s dedicated to, and when it was installed.

For the perfect Leesville day, be sure to swing by Fatboy & Skinny’s, about a mile and a half away from the park.
