About the Location

Recreation Spaces

Found in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Cedarcrest Park is a breath of fresh air for the local community. Managed by the BREC Parks system, this green oasis represents a gathering spot where both solo visitors and families can unwind and play.

With its mix of natural landscapes and thoughtfully designed facilities, the park offers something for everyone - regardless of whether you're in the mood for sports, playtime with the kids, or just a peaceful afternoon outdoors. We love that it's nestled in a safe neighborhood, maintaining that calm, relaxing vibe that seems harder and harder to find these days.

Sports & Play Areas

Sports enthusiasts will find an outdoor basketball court with brand new baskets ideal for a pickup game. There's also a versatile ball field and tennis courts (though they're not lit for evening play). The generous open spaces make impromptu soccer matches or casual baseball games totally doable.

If you've got kids in tow, they'll make a beeline for the recently remodeled playground with its shiny new equipment and swings. When lunchtime rolls around, head to the pavilion where you can enjoy some shade while refueling with a sandwich or two.

Amenities & Vibes

What makes Cedarcrest stand out is its recreation center, creating a wonderful balance of indoor and outdoor options all in one location. It functions as both a place to visit and a neighborhood space where exercise, leisure, and socializing happen naturally.

You'll appreciate the well-maintained grounds and clean facilities, including regularly serviced restrooms (always a plus when spending the day outdoors). The peaceful setting creates an ideal backdrop for family picnics, and there's something comforting about seeing fellow park-goers enjoying the space alongside you.

Recent Upgrades

The park keeps getting better, with recent improvements including new playground equipment and renovations to existing features. These updates help Cedarcrest evolve with the community's needs while remaining a functional, pleasant retreat.
