Goodwood Park

Location and Access

Situated in the 'Old' Goodwood Subdivision of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Goodwood Park is a lovely green space managed by BREC (Recreation and Park Commission for the Parish of East Baton Rouge). You can easily pop in from either Government Street or Goodwood Boulevard at Sevenoaks Avenue - perfect if you're a local looking for a quick escape into nature.

Facilities and Amenities

This park offers a peaceful retreat with a decidedly family-friendly vibe. If you're into sports, you can find an outdoor basketball court, unlighted tennis courts, and pickleball courts - all well-maintained and ready for your next game.

Feel like getting some steps in? A paved walking track winds around the park, ideal for your morning jog or an evening stroll. The little ones haven't been forgotten either - there's a nice playground area where they can burn off energy. When it's time to refuel, the covered pavilion and picnic tables provide perfect spots for family lunches or casual get-togethers.

No need to cut your visit short when nature calls - clean restroom facilities are available on-site. On hot Louisiana days, you'll appreciate the abundant shaded areas across the grounds. And yes, your four-legged friends are welcome, however keep in mind there's no designated dog park section.

Community Impact

What Goodwood Park lacks in size, it makes up for in character. This compact green space is a nice gathering spot in this residential area. Whether you're looking to get active, socialize with neighbors, or simply find a quiet spot to read a book, you'll find options here.

The open grassy area is surprisingly versatile - you'll often see people doing yoga, running through circuit training, or just tossing a frisbee around. The park is a place where neighborhood kids can play together outdoors.

Goodwood Park is a pleasant neighborhood green space offering both recreation and a place to connect with neighbors.
