About the Location
Urban Oasis
Found in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana, BREC Convention Street Park offers a peaceful 0.68-acre retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. This little green space offers a nice break during a busy day downtown.
Garden Features
What makes this park special is its thoughtful blend of nature and art. The perennial garden ensures there's always something green to look at, no matter when you visit. There's also an eco-conscious bio-retention rain garden that's not just pretty to look at - it actually helps manage rainwater in a sustainable way.
Amenities and Gathering Spaces
Need a spot to enjoy your lunch or catch up with a friend? The park's pergola comes complete with tables and chairs for just such occasions. There's also a curved seat wall that does double duty - it's meant for resting your feet, but it also represents a makeshift stage for small performances or community gatherings.
Public Art
Art lovers will appreciate the mobile mural created by artists Alex Harvie and TJ Black. This eye-catching piece celebrates the active lifestyle of the folks who call downtown Baton Rouge home.
Community Connection
Beyond being a place to sit, the park includes educational and historical elements about the local environment and community. With its open green spaces, BREC Convention Street Park offers a connection to nature in the urban setting.
