Mayfair Park

Recreational Facilities

Situated in a residential pocket of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Mayfair Park is one of those hidden local retreats managed by BREC (Baton Rouge Recreation and Park Commission). This park offers a variety of indoor and outdoor spaces that cater to both serious athletes and those of us who just want to enjoy some fresh air.

If basketball is your thing, you'll find indoor and outdoor basketball courts, so rain or shine, you can still get your game on. Tennis players can hit the unlighted tennis courts for a casual match, while the multi-purpose field offers plenty of space for everything from impromptu soccer games to frisbee sessions with friends.

Amenities for All Ages

Kids will make a beeline for the playground area with its cool arch swing - meant for burning off that endless energy supply they seem to have. There's also a pavilion that makes an ideal spot for birthday parties, family picnics, or just seeking some shade on those steamy Louisiana afternoons.

Health-conscious visitors will appreciate the walking track/loop that winds through greenery - a peaceful way to get those steps in. The park has recently stepped up its game with outdoor fitness equipment, additional benches, and better lighting across the grounds. These improvements make evening visits both safer and more convenient.

Community Hub

At the heart of Mayfair sits a recreation center that hosts regular programs and events for the neighborhood. And yes, there's free Wi-Fi across the park - because sometimes you want to stream your workout playlist or check emails while enjoying the outdoors.

Facilities and Hours

The atmosphere here tends to be peaceful and well-maintained - a welcome retreat from the hustle of city life. One thing to note: the restroom facilities are located inside the recreation center building, which opens at 3:30 PM on weekdays. It closes at 8 PM Monday through Thursday and 7 PM on Friday, and doesn't open on weekends - so plan your visits accordingly.

Whether you're looking to shoot hoops, get fit, or simply find a pleasant spot to unwind, Mayfair Park offers a versatile space in the neighborhood.
