Anna Jordan Park

Anna T. Jordan Community Park, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, spans 39.62 acres and is a key community park serving a larger area than typical neighborhood parks.

Guests can utilize the fitness center, which is equipped with modern exercise equipment, attend meetings in the conference room, or access technology in the computer lab. The gymnasium, now air-conditioned and with a resurfaced floor, also includes a dressing room for performances on its stage.

Outdoor options are abundant, with basketball courts (both indoor and outdoor), tennis courts, a swimming pool (operational seasonally), and a walking track. The lighted multi-purpose fields allow for extended hours of sports and recreational use. Meanwhile, the playground and garden/arboretum provide spaces for younger visitors and those looking for a more serene experience.

Anna T. Jordan Community Park also offers a pavilion available for rental, accommodating up to 40 people with tables and electricity—a perfect spot for gatherings. The park's design emphasizes accessibility and community engagement, with improvements like shaded play areas and enhanced pedestrian access. These features make the park a vibrant hub for recreation and relaxation in Baton Rouge.
