Anna T. Jordan Community Park

Park Overview

Anna T. Jordan Community Park spans 39.62 acres and is a key community park serving a larger area than typical neighborhood parks. Managed by BREC (Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge), the park is designed to provide recreational opportunities and facilities that cater to individuals and families for an entire day of engagement.

Recreation Center

The park's recreation center underwent substantial renovations in 2017, adding 6,400 square feet of space. 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 is now air-conditioned and features a resurfaced floor. It also includes a dressing room for performances on its stage.

Outdoor Amenities

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.

Community Facilities

The park 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 Anna T. Jordan Community Park a vibrant hub for recreation and relaxation in Baton Rouge.
